I thought kerry did OK, but he dodged some questions. I have a really hard time beleiving him when he says that he will cut social programs in order to balance the budget. Im guessing he will just raise taxes. At any rate if anyone has his economic plan id be interested to see it.

I'll start a new thread with his so-called economic plan, AEB...

Well theres no way around it eventually we will have to raise taxes to help us out od a deficet. So in my opinion if its for the greater good and for a year or so, then its ok with me IF its for the greater good.

Ahhh, the greater good argument. How much did you pay in taxes last year, sir? You seem so willing to raise taxes, so I am just curious how much, in monetary terms, you contribute to this so-called "greater good." Send me a PM and let's talk shop.

I just feel that since Bush screwed us into the deficit, we must sacrafice more to get out of it. Or our children will be paying for it, and that isn't right.

No, not necessarily. When the economy picks up there is more revenue generated for the government. If taxes had been raised in an economic downturn it would have extended it and very possibly worsened it thereby creating even more debt.


Basic tax theory.

if all that mattered were views that do not change, we'd still be segregated.

conjur posting a Kerry pole smoking thread? who woulda thunk it.....

Honestly, Teddy K is too far up kerry's arse for me to even consider voting for him...maybe if Kerry was an independant and not from MASSachusetts I would give him more credit, but those three strikes (Democrat, From Taxachusetts, and buddy boy Teddy K) are enough to rule him out.

Methinks bozack has an odd fascination for male genitalia and orifices.
