Yeah Palin is the most qualified.

A 'community organizer' hoping to manage a 'trillion dollar US economy' . Am I in a hollywood dream?


Jwhop,

I have a question. I heard that 50 percent of Americans do not pay taxes. Are they still allowed to vote? They can significantly influence the election outcome if they can, can't they? What if their voting pattern is as wanton as their attitude towards making a living and paying taxes? I mean if you are 21 or a student its ok if you don't. Same thing for retired/disabled for whatever reasons.

The congress must look in to this. Otherwise anyone with mass appeal can become the president and could be the 'enemy within'.

It's true that the bottom 50% of wage earners pay only 3% of federal income taxes. 47% have no income tax libiality at all. Yet, that's not good enough for the socialist morons.

The top 1% of earners pay about 40% of all income taxes. The top 10% of earners pay about 60%. Yet, that's not enough for the socialist morons.

Americans do lack knowledge in the area of who pays the taxes. What the socialists have been successful in doing is convincing demoscat voters that they will tax business and corporations but what really happens is that businesses and corporations have to pass those taxes on to consumers in the form of higher prices for what they buy.

So, when these socialist demoscats cheer, stamp their feet in glee and bay at the moon that the government is going to tax business to pay for their socialist give aways...in reality, they authorized the tax on themselves.

Yes, every citizen, natural or naturalized who is not a felon is permitted to vote.

A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.
-George Bernard Shaw

There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it. A politician who portrays himself as "caring" and "sensitive" because he wants to expand the government’s charitable programs is merely saying that he’s willing to try to do good with other people’s money. Well, who isn’t? And a voter who takes pride in supporting such programs is telling us that he’ll do good with his own money—if a gun is held to his head.
-P.J. O’Rourke

We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
-Winston Churchill

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until a majority of voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse out of the public treasury.
-Alexander Tyler

A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.
-Thomas Jefferson

I believe that every individual is naturally entitled to do as he pleases with himself and the fruits of his labor, so far as it in no way interferes with any other men’s rights.
-Abraham Lincoln[/b]

Thank you Jwhop - IOU a Michelob beer for the time spent


>>>but what really happens is that businesses and corporations have to pass those taxes on to consumers in the form of higher prices for what they buy.


Yeah, agreed absolutely. For Example with Obamas high variable tax, restaurants owner will recover those extra tax from the consumers by jacking their prices. All these socialist ideas looks good at the surface but they are infact vicious traps which only few can see.

Mannu, how did you know before 8:30pm that Sarah Palin was going to say that after 10:30pm?

It's a hell of a line and puts O'Bomber in proper perspective.

Some excerpts of her speech were released before on CNN I think.


Giuliani was even more straight talking when he said "Palin has more executive experience than the entire Democratic ticket"
