Yep, too big of "Pussies" to reduce spending.

Like stopping the war in Iraq or reducing the $700 Billion DoD budget? I would agree that they're too big of a pussy. Your hero McCain wants to reduce taxes and increse spending. You must be so proud.

lol, still have your head up your ass I see. I am not supporting McCain.

But yeah yeah...whine about the war - it's about all you guys have when you suddenly want to address spending. IMO, the war should have been over long ago but for whatever reason we decided not to fight the war after we got to Baghdad....but that's a whole different subject.

So is the war/defense the only thing you people think that needs reduced?

They certainly can't address all of them. I asked you to elaborate mainly because you said, "However, they are failing to meet the Needs of people," and I don't generally agree with this. Sometimes the "needs of people" are impossible to meet. No one has cured cancer yet, but take a stroll through the Ronald McDonald House and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and you'd see peoples' needs being taken care of. Go into a soup kitchen and you'll find hungry people eating food.

But to respond to your remark above, does government? To some degree. But they aren't as efficient, and they tend to create more problems than they solve.

Government is much more Efficient at delivering certain services.

I have no problem with an increase.

I have a problem on where it goes and the fact that some will get the increases and others will not.

Does it really bother you that some AIG execs might only be able to buy one yacht and not two yachts next year?

Warren Buffet agrees with Obama.

I doubt more than 1 or 2 people reading this thread make over $250K a year so relax, it won't affect you.

If you havent noticed, it is $200k now... or $150k if you are listening to Biden.

Whats more selfish? To expect to get to keep what you have worked for, or to expect someone elses money to be taken and given to you for not working?

Selfish indeed......

Yes, because those making <$200k/year don't Work!

Yes they do. And they should get to keep what they make... just as someone making over $200k at year should get to keep what THEY make.

No wait... that isnt FAIR. Let's make it FAIR. I have to tell you, FAIR in my house is the bad four letter word (kids are 4 and 2). There is no guarantee in life to fairness... except as the Democrats can try to provide.

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime (unless he is fishing in the Hudson, and then it is a coin toss).

As stated before, it's the liberal politician way of life. Nobody deserves to be rich, so we have to tax them more to pay for the poor. At least that's what they sell to their constituents.

RTFA

"The reason that we want to do this, change our tax code, is not because I have anything against the rich," Obama said in Sarasota, Fla., yesterday. "I love rich people! I want all of you to be rich. Go for it. That?s the American dream, that?s the American way, that?s terrific.

Some of you would also do yourselves a favor by actually reading Rand's "The Virtue of Selfishness" before posting further. Rand's ideal of selfishness did not mean short-sighted stupidness. You can't get rich when no one can afford to buy what you're selling.

One example of how this statement is incorrect; A portion of my income goes to Tiger Woods,
yet I have never seen him play, a portion of my income goes to Bruce Willis, yet I have never seen him act.

People who make the huge salaries are seldom negatively affected by tax increases. They simply arrange or demand a pay raise to compensate. Most average Joes do not have this option and are stuck with less money if there taxes go up.

True... And the whole 'small businesses will get killed in taxes' scare is complete BS. I know people who have small business and they are a near endless supply of loopholes and tax write-offs.

they probably have shady accountants
