Wow, two other people besides me are actually not Republicans here?
Nothing wrong with that, really, but it's the way you lot present yourselves. You're not exactly nice about many things, it seems. Would it actually kill you to see our opinions from a point of view other than your own? You can call most people here closed-minded, because that's exactly what you are.
What you people think is bad is good for others. Higher taxes means more help for the less fortunate. Did it ever occur to you that paying those taxes *GASP* might actually be going toward a good cause?
Face it: Our country is no safer than it was in the 1990's. Our economy is crap compared to that decade. We're hated by our allies now. Millions are still unemployed, and the millions of people who have "gotten their jobs back" have gotten absolutely worthless service-based jobs at places like Burger King and Wal-Mart. They're nothing like the Office and Manufactuing jobs they once had.
Let's see what huge flame war erupts out of this post. Come on, out with it, people. Insult me all you want, and tell me that I'm full of crap... I'm used to it.
