Re: "Funny how little the left needs to wage an argument."

>>> First of all, I'm 'right', not 'left'. The true conservative always supports limited, small government and balanced accounts... not like these psuedo-conservatives on this thread who are all for Big Government and deficits.

>>> Perhaps you need to deliniate between "social conservatives" and "fiscal conservatives"... because they are not at all the same thing.

Re: "You are more afraid of Federal deficits and I fear rogue madmen with stated hatred against the United States possessing, passing along and using weapons of mass destruction against us. Money is more important to you than American lives it seems. Or you like Saddam Hussein."

>>> That's the part I replied to with "Bull!"

>>> Your statement is so insanely illogical and unsupported it needs little else in reply. Just because you are 'hawkish' that doesn't mean you support conservative economic policies.

Re: "So the middle class is getting an unfair tax burden iyo? You are lock step with the demo position that the top 1% should pay more than the 25% or so of the tax bill they already are paying. How about if EVERYONE chips in instead of leaching off of people who already pay more than enough?"

>>> What's wrong with a flat tax, and very few loopholes? I could support that.

>>> As to the top 1% of taxpayers, studies show that they pay an average effective rate close to 8% or 9% - because of the multitude of special tax provisions and loopholes available to them.

>>> Many corporates with billions in profits have paid little ot nothing for years (Enron is one good example).

>>> That sad state of affairs certainly DOES shift much of the burden to the backs of the middle class... and also demonstrates the effectiveness of their lobbying efforts.
