Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, the political-savvy would-be small business owner now infamously known as "Joe the Plumber", recently confronted Barack Obama and asked whether his taxes would be raised under an Obama Administration. Obama replied, revealing his socialist worldview, "when we spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody." More at www.polyticks.thewebcomic.com

No
If Obama wants to "spread the wealth," let him spread his own around. I'll spread mine around where I choose, thank you very much.View thread

No
try making a factual statement next time would you?, or better yet, go get a clue then come back....
pretty cut and dried that the attempt at social engineering 12 years ago has cost the American taxpayer 700 Billion dollars today.. there's facts everywhere to prove it, and even Bill Clinton said so himself...
Now don't get me wrong, there were some republicans on that bandwagon too, i'm not disillusioned about that in the least, but, hoestly, IF you follow the issue thart to finish, and follow the money trail, it starts and ends for the most part with the democrats...
That's just a fact...
Like i said below.. nothing against you personally, but the statement you made trying to lay the blame off on Bush in this issue can only have been made from a position of being uninformed, lied to, or one of simply trying to use a falsehood as smear... I personally would like to think it's one of the first two simply because from what i have read of your posts, you don't seem to be the type person that would knowingly wallow in the mire of smear and lies.
Bush had nothing to do with it yet it's getting piled on his back now isn't it?
like i said, i'm not saying that there weren't republicans involved in it back then either, i'm just saying that the way you portray the 750 bail-out is inaccurate and just one of the sources i used to make that point to you was in Fact Bill Clinton's own words, he was the one who signed the bill that lead to the crisis into law 12 years ago... Now if you add to that the proven tactics that were used by people like acorn and obama in intimidating banks and bank managers into adhering to those guidelines, the real story of what happened and why is quite clear.
trust me when i tell you that the bailout was done to cover a problem NOT created by this administration because when i say that, i'm simply stating a fact, nothing more, nothing less..
i could dig for the stories related to it if you'd like?
(work's kind of busy atm, but i really don't mind)
Bill
You can find that online and probably get a framed litho of it.
The senate had hearings in 2004 about regulation, or at least investigation into Freddie/Fanny. That video is all over youtube. The Democrats praised the efficiency and management of aforementioned.
Don't get out much??
PS. Why would the party of deregulation - the Republican Party - criticize Clinton for signing a bill that included deregulation, a bill that was, in fact, passed by a REPUBLICAN Congress? Can't have it both ways, "my friend".
understand?
In what case I could care less about your spending habits as long as you are forced to pay a little more taxes.
Reagan said in his first inauguration speech, which he himself authored,[1] "In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem." His first act as president was to issue an executive order ending certain price controls. His economic policies, similar to supply-side economics and dubbed "Reaganomics," achieved a 25% cut in the federal personal income tax, moderate deregulation and tax reform, which he believed would remove barriers to efficient economic activity. After a sharp recession, a long period of high economic growth without significant inflation ensued.
Despite Reagan's stated desire to cut spending, federal spending grew during his administration. However, economist Milton Friedman points out that non-defense spending as a percentage of national income stabilized throughout Reagan's term, breaking a long upward trend; the number of new regulations ...

Do these ideals sound familiar? What has John McCain been preaching this last couple of days? Do you really think that under John McCain's tax plan no one will pay taxes? How is that possible? The majority of people here in the U.S. are working class taxpayers. Who do you think is more likely to pay taxes to get the economy running? Who do you think in the end will pay more taxes under McCain/Palin ticket? Now, honestly ask yourself has the working class taxpayer ever benefited from the Republican Party?
Republicans only care about the wealthy! Why do you think we went to war with Iraq? Most of the military contractors, generals and Bush Adminstration are Republicans who made millions and millions of dollars... Why do you think McCain wants to stay longer in Iraq? Is it because he really cares about our military and the Iraq people? Think... we know have thousands and thousands of resources available to check facts. Obama did not say he would provide tax cuts to people who do not pay taxes, which are people who are on welfare! You only qualify for tax cuts if you are working!!
