Why do Democrats always want to raise taxes?

[Gunthr]

I agree with Midnight Target, all that affirmative action does is give someone a chance at a degree.

Bull.  Affirmative action discriminates against deserving applicants to favor others, based solely on race.  It is racism pure and simple.

I didn't want to go there gunthr but that is absolutely the truth.

I think affirmative action is ultimately bad for society, Storch, no matter what guilt ridden white socialist liberals may think.  There are other ways to help minorities succeed that do not resort to racism.

I guess that MT means by "equality of opportunity" is that no matter how lazy or stupid you are you should be represented in every field.

It is like saying that the field of brain surgery is lacking equality because so few retarded people are brain surgeons or saying that the prisons are not racialy equal so we need to stop arresting some and arresting others based on race till it all equals out.

My idea of equality is that when you apply for a job that only your qualifications and ability to do the job are considered... same for attendance at school.

You don't have quotas for enrollment.  In the end... you may have pushed out the guy who woulda cured aids or cancer in order to make room for someone who is wasting everyones time and money.

Democrats idea of leveling the playing field is to drag everyone down to the lowest possible denominator... to spred the missery equally.

I thought this was about taxes.

I got a pay increase last year and it bumped me into a new tax bracket thingy. I now make $100(+-) less per pay check than before the bump. I know $100(+-) is not much, but I have a real problem with the math.

 As for the other stuff, I recall a conversation when Pres. Bush got elected from a person in this town, and I quote, "well, there goes the free money".

I wonder if he enjoyed my 100 bucks, THAT I WORKED FOR.

Please help the poor. It is our responsibility as human being’s. Sometimes people do need help, but a free ride (for any able bodied man or woman) …..again, I vote for the other site.

I think that race should not be on any application to anything.  If no one knows your race, they can't discriminate for or against you.

I'm a working man and my taxes have decreased since Bush has been in office.

Like I said.  10,000,000,000,000.00 dollar debt.  Your taxes will increse, soon, probably under the democrats becasue the interest burden on this debt is 'unsustainable', according allan greenspan.  How lucky the clever republican is to have so many people focus on that 4 dollars per week while the 'good ole boys' loot the  national treasury.

You guys make too much of this program.  Affirmative action is a political tool concieved to garner votes from a particular group.  It works for that matter and for little else, as you guys have observed.  Both sides use devious tactics to aquire power.

We shall see. No doubt whatsover though that if the dems do come into power they will blame their tax increases on the republicans.

Kind of like the republicans are trying to blame 911 on clinton? Ahhh, but that will springboard us into another thread

[lasersailor184]

Why do I even bother?  Whitehawk, read my posts.  It will explain how the debt and national economy works.




But then again, no one is expecting you to read it.  You didn't catch it the first time around, why would you the second, the third or the fourth?  If you don't make the effort to learn how the system works, you need to not comment about it.  EVER.

Wow, you are just so off here.

If one person gets bonus points because of his race before grades, ability or history come into effect...


THEN IT IS NOT A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD.

Size matters, but not in this case.

You of course are assuming that everyone has an equal chance to qualify for a college education, and that everyone has an equal opportunity for college prep course work and everyone has an equal opportunity to have decent teachers etc. etc..... it would be nice to live in your black and white little world, but it only exists in your mind.

[Urchin]

MT - I am 99% sure that his world is just a white little world.  Maybe a token black or two, but that might be stretching it.
