interesting link for ya, about 10 top companies that pay little or no tax and make billions
... and the government is so much better with your money?
And how exactly does staying on the same track fix our financial issues? You do know that the Federal Gov. borrows over $0.33 of each $1 it spends (and that's a lowballed guess), right?
Why are you saying people will be at the whims of the corporate elite?
Americans want solutions, budget reform,
Correction: One party wants to be the working/middle class subservient to their wealthy base. Republicans don't get a rat's ass about the vast majority of this country.
If they had their way we would all be right-wing "Christians" and 1% of the population would control 99.9% of all the wealth in this country.
that is oozing BS
you dems claiming you care for the working class is the same as coke dealers claiming they care about the addicts while blaming those who want to wean the junkies off the blow are being mean to them
Keeping people dependent and sucking on the public teat is how you dems show how much you care for other Americans
And despite being asked many many times by many many people you have utterly FAILED to present any actual verifiable evidnece that
1) Democrats do this, and
2) Republicans do not
But yet again we have the pontifications of Turtle - statements of what he believes based solely and completely on what he believes simply because he wants to believe it.

When it comes down to it, Americans couldn't cares less about the budget, if they had, they would have screamed bloody murder when Bush was president. They DO care about having Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and that's why President Obama and the Democrats will take this legislation and wrap it around the neck of Republicans.fine, tell harry to write it up
's why
and hurry
americans want solutions, budget reform, not excellent speeches, great speeches

It is possible that the GOP has gone too far, but face it, the Democrats have not gone far enough. Sure, we do need a social safety net, but at the same time, we are going to have to make some cuts. Taxing the rich by itself isn't going to balance the budget. What I would like to see is some dialogue that ends up somewhere between the Democratic and Republican extremes.
tell us Haymarket-what party keeps calling for more social spending?
what party enacted the new deal and great society?
why do you dodge facts/
yep the dems have created a nation of addicts
House passes huge GOP budget cuts, opposing Obama - Yahoo! News
Republicans controlling the House pushed to passage on Friday a bold but politically dangerous budget blueprint to slash social safety net programs like food stamps and Medicaid and fundamentally restructure Medicare health care for the elderly.
The choice in the next election is becoming more and more clear. There is no question which party represents the interests of the wealthy and which party represents the interests of the rest of the country.
The GOP fought hard earlier to preserve tax cuts for those making over 250K. Today they showed how they want to pay for those cuts...by slashing money from food stamps, medicaid and medicare.
The GOP war on the elderly, the poor and the working class continues....
I really wish people could see why they are proposing cuts. I guess it doesn't matter to some that we are broke as a country.
All the programs and taxes you hate and loathe were enacted by BOTH parties. Check you history.
And year after year in budget after budget, they continue to vote for them.
Its obvious why the tax cuts to the countries safety nets are being proposed, to attempt to make the poor and the middle class pay for the debt created by the wars and tax cuts for the wealthy.
Irony, you has it. :thumbs:
Just for you rev. Just for you.
Social Security Online - HISTORY: Vote tallies on 1935 law
You right wing extremists rant and rail about Social Security and the New Deal. As I have said, it was enacted by both a majority of the members from BOTH parties and that includes Republicans.
House vote 4/19/35 on passage of the Social Security Act
Dems 284 - 15
Rep 81 - 15 (thats over 80% of republican members voting FOR it.
If that is not enough humble pie for you and Turtle to dine on jointly
Senate vote on Social Security Act
Dems 60 yes 1 no 8 not voting
REP 16 yes - 5 no - 4 not voting (thats 2 of every 3 GOP Senators voting FOR Social Security passage
I really wish people could see why they are proposing cuts. I guess it doesn't matter to some that we are broke as a country.
Yeah, let's privatize Medicare, because as we've seen over the last few years, private companies are oh so responsible with other people's money...
I’m not sure how well this will go for the Republicans. Getting people to vote against their economic interests only works when economic issues are eclipsed by social fluff issues like gay marriage and abortion.
