Vote for us, we're going to raise your taxes.

Hilary Clinton:

Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you," Sen. Clinton said. "We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

common good?  The collective?


How, How can anyone vote for these people?

They haven't offered one "solution" to things they think are problems except that they are going to raise taxes.

Dems, please tell me how you can vote these people into office.

Back on track... what?  The economy is growing, more jobs have been created.  Consumer confidence index is highest  than it's been in years. If that's not back on track, what is?   WTF?

Dems, please tell me how you can vote these people into office.

I have never believed in the politics of high taxation. It took Margaret Thatcher's administration to show that we do not need 83% income tax. Thanks to her administration, the top rate in Britain is now 40%. Tax receipts actually went UP because people no longer needed to become tax exiles overseas.

But the pendulum has been swinging back the other way after 7 years of Blair. More than 60 new taxes have been introduced. Business tax up £47 billion. National Insurance up £8 billion. The nation's pension funds have been raided to provide for this government's profligate spending. And the benefits? Erm.... well none, actually. Hospitals are in a worse state than before, education is in crisis, our infrastructure is crumbling. This is a government that stopped all road building in 2001, believing that everyone could "just go by public transport".

So where has the money gone? Well, there are now "education advisers" in Whitehall who tell qualified teachers how their lessons should be conducted. We have "walking consultants" to tell us that walking really is good for you, and five-a-day fruit specialists to tell people that eating five pieces of fruit each day is healthier than a diet laden with fat and salt. The national health service hires on three times as many adminstrators and assorted paper shufflers than doctors and nurses.

In short, a "male hen"-up of monumental proportions. OK so this is Britain not America. But what I'm saying is look at what's happened here regarding state spending. Do not vote for higher taxes. The British experience of the past 7 years shows that it's money down the drain.

tax money simply creates larger government.   larger government is never good.

Because they pander to the the non productive element of our society.  Those that would have you not only provide for all their needs but to also provide for their recreational desires as well.

They will forever be be the base and the victims of Sen. clinton and her ilk.

There are millions of them.  It's easy to go with the flow.  You wouldn't believe what I see and hear almost daily.  People stepping off of a boat or crossing the stream and within days they have a medicade card and are receiving free world class health care as well as financial assistance.  In five years the are eligible to become citizens and dutifully march into the democratic party because what seems like poverty to us is abundance to them.  The ones that forge ahead are the ones who see and aspire to greater things.  Educate a new immigrant, take him to the BMW store with you.

Please tell me how you can vote into office people that cut taxes while increasing spending, thereby increasing the national debt, thereby requiring more tax dollars to pay interest on the national debt?

Hey, its nice to live off a credit card.  You get all you want and don't have to pay for it!  Oh, wait, you eventually do.

Did anyone read that quote? Did it sound disjointed? Makes you wonder what she really said. Makes you wonder how people can trash Michael Moore for quotes out of context, then turn around and do the same thing.

There's a word for that... it starts with an 'H'.

[Eagler]

the quote is a generalization for a bunch of ppl that start with the letter "D"

bush did EXACTLY what had to be done to prevent a post slick depression. between the bubble burst and 9/11 we were on the verge of a depression which would have made the great one seem trival ...

Obviously higher taxes are not a concern for the Democratic pary constituency. They have other priorities.

The job of a politician consists of spending other people's money. That would be ALL politicians, Democrat, Republican, Independent, US, UK, whatever. They spend other peoples money.

It's what they DO, like pilots fly airplanes, forklift drivers drive forklifts, doctors try to help sick people.  It's the job description.

You will NEVER be able to give them enough money to satisfy their hunger to spend ever more of your money.

So, yeah.. go ahead... give more Ripple to the alkies. Makes a lot of sense because "it's for the common good".

Of course, when was the last time anyone asked YOU what you thought would be in the "common good"? Never you say? Well, that's because they only consider THEIR idea of the "common good". In other words, "give me your money and I'll build my idea of a perfect world. No, I don't want to hear your ideas on the subject!"



We've thrown billions at various problems over the years without changing much at all. So the solution is to throw MORE money at the same problems with the same bozos running the show.

Saw the CBS news things on the Bush/Kerry "education plans". Kerry's solution is to throw twice as much money as Bush to the same incompetents that have squandered BILLIONS over the last decades while "improving" (NOT!) our schools.

You can be sure of this: either way the schools will still suck because the folks "improving" them are basically incompetent tardlings.

The only difference will be the size of the bill you pay.

All Moore had to do to avoid that rating was edit out the repeated use of motherf*****. Guess editing was just too much of an affront to his journalistic integrity.
