Did you vote?

I think Dr. Paul is the only candidate that really promises this, but his chances are slim to none.

Who's Dr. Paul? Is he like Dr. Phil?

Did u say 91? That's funny. I want to continue but I dont. One of the few things that my father taught me was to stay away from politics. You stay friendly with everyone like that.

Oh yea as for 91 Bush was there. If that is who you meant. Just a poi.

you may think so but remember, other than WWII all wars hurt the economy.... We are no worse shape now than the down years of 1991 or 2001... The economy will take off by summer if the gov stay out of the markets... Things grow shrink and grow... The shear fact that you think Regean was bad show that you are terribly misinformed... His policies were terrific many other COuntries followed the same plan with great success. The trouble is that we had such a great 25 years span people have started to think that the Dems lead that in... wrong... if taxes are raised the stock will continue to fall.

DO NOT FALL INTO THE TRAP OF THE DEMS.... INCREASING TAXES, HURTS, CUTTING TAXES IMPROVES THE ECONOMY... WORKED WHEN BUSH, CLINTON AND W BUSH DID IT...

Think about it... if you have to pay less or get more back you will more likely pay your taxes, raise them and less people will pay... cutting taxes increases revenue...

More so raising taxes for the top 20 percent wage earners is bad... if many want to do... that 20 percent is 70 percent of money spent... more so the top 5 percent pays 3/4 of the taxes...


I could go on... but why no one wants to hear it... as many of the people I work with daily think the other way... but hey go to college get a degree with politcal science as part of it and hey you learn a thing or too... and of course I chose not to listen to the lies that are fed to me by many others... go independent and find a conservative....

As an Economics student, I can only agree with you Mike. Decreased taxes does stimulate the economy. People have more net income. More income means a shift right in the demand curve of any normal good. Purchasing more goods leads to more trade, more tax revenue, and a better economy. It's time to end tariffs, price restrictions, and subsidies; and shrink government programs and taxes.

With the American infrastructure falling apart, being in the middle of a war, having a major city still in shambles (New Orleans), a terrible health care, overflowing prisons, etc., do you really think decreasing taxes would help?

That is what I don't understand about Americans... you guys have this ultra-patriotic stance and talk about how you'd give your life for your country, but when it comes to giving up some money for the greater good, you choke!

I don't mind taxes... water quality, roads and infrastructure, food safety, health care... that is what I think of when I have to pay taxes!

WTF is this guy talking about?!

Infrastructure falling apart?!

City in shambles?

Over flowing prisons...well that is true...damn illegals...

Hey my fellow Americans...if your infrastructure is falling apart and you are not living one of the highest standards of living in the world please tell us about it!

Alright, alright, I may have been exaggerating. I was just thinking about the Minneapolis bridge, the New Orleans levys, reading reports by the American Society of Civil Engineers about the state of the infrastructure (I can't remember exactly, but they est. 1.6 trillion dollars in the next 5 years is needed to fix infrastructure?) , etc.

Highest standard of living? What about your infant mortality rate, illiteracy rate, obesity, health care, and heart disease compared to other 'first world' countries? Cuba even has you beat on all those

I'm just messing around...

I think America is a good country, just never understood the negative stance on taxes and the whole Katrina thing.

Competition creates lower prices and better products... so keeping as much as possible in the private sector is the key... These things can be pay as you use them... Look at our health care system... sure it costs more, but other countries have free health care and they pass that to use ours for a cost... taxes for the shake of taxes is silly and can hurt the economy... raising taxes will result in less cash flow shrinking the economy and shrinking possible tax revenue...

The down turn of 91 was during Bush 1 term... and not result of him... In fact the government getting too involved in the mortage business is hurting now... how dare they limit mortgages to people who can afford it... mortgages to all... reguardless of ability to pay (oh wait, we now have how many hud homes?)

Remember I did not say that Bush was the answer 1 or 2... I said a conservative, check the difference in that... the two short falls were hardly even worth looking at when comparing other recessions. but they were down years as is 07 and start to 08... economy will continue to grow after the market corrects itself... of course unless we mess with it too much... (like raise taxes)...

I am not trying to make people mad I am giving the hard truth... too often the media and others cover it up or make it up... learn it we would be better off... oh and rest of the world... look what our bad times are doing... markets everywhere are hurting so...get on the phone and get other Americans to vote conservative and help yourselves... you can get in the markets when they are low....
