Why do Democrats always want to raise taxes?
« on: October 22, 2006, 01:14:57 AM »
Everybody knows that the democrats will almost always want to raise taxes. They always vote against lowering taxes and do not want to make Bush's tax cuts permanent.

The dems say that the tax cut only helped the rich. That's funny, since tax revenues are now at an all time high AFTER the tax cuts but they still want to repeal the cuts.

Why wouldn't any American NOT vote for a democrat based on just this issue  alone?

I agree, the Democans are terrible. The Republicrats are way better.

Why do Democrats raise taxes?  For public and social programs.

Before you start such a silly thread.  Look up the national debt with the democrats.  (that would be a surplus).  Then look up the national debt with the republicans.

The dems tax and spend, the repubs borrow and spend. The borrow and spend allows you to say you didn't raise taxes.

Because the US of A has a funny way of affecting rest of the world with its goings. If it has something to do with us, it's our concern.

the democratic party has always sought to buy votes by re-distributing your money.  There is no question that the democratic party has a greater tendancy  towards socialism than republicans.  Public programs cost money.  Not all public programs are uneccesary or wasteful, but the tendancy towards buying votes is    there.   That is why all welfare addicts, with no exceptions, are democratic.

The democrats hate to see any American keep the money in his paycheck, and would rather tax it away to distribute among the minorities who feel a sense of entitlement rather than a desire to work.

Thank you.  It also forces the next guys to raise taxes to keep the country from going bankrupt like the USSR.

As opposed to the pubes who just throw it all away on foriegn policy, which is the act of distributing all of our money to minorities, overseas, where as we get absolutley no benifits whatsoever.
