Now what did you get for that? When he left office the country was in the midst of the deepest recession since the great depression, the financial system was in a state of collapse, and we were losing jobs at a rate of 750K/month.

Few points of discussion :

The surplus you point to were projected not actual.
Katrina
911
Afghanistan
Iraq

To further the discussion I will grant you whatever grade you want to assign GW's handling of them. We can also do the same re the Dems who took control of both the House and Senate in 2007. GW's spending is one of the area's of his admin where I agree with you... the current admin has surpassed all of GW's spending exponentially.

I am still waiting for your rebuttal of my estimate of the effect on payroll taxes for the head of the lucky $250K year family.

Are you referring to your statement that you wont be shedding any tears for those in that income bracket ? If so then my response is they earned that $$ and the desire to generate that kind of income benefits everyone via job creation. Taxing individuals and small business's produce negative growth. That is why it would be good to know where you consider the ceiling should be for what the gov believes it is OK for you to keep.

Try instead your hand at coming up with solutions to the problem of caring for our elders and the care of all americans, not just the ones who can afford it. Now if you can do that effectively, I will give you some credit. Until then, you are just bitching about the misfortune of the financially fortunate.

Here is where we part ways. The financially fortunate are not fodder for socialists to pillage. Why is it you believe the government knows how to spend the fortunates $$ more wisely or efficiently than those that were smart enough to earn it in the first place ?

Why is it you believe families and individuals do not care for their own already ?

The government is not the answer they are the problem.

The Buffet and Gates of the world donate a large portion of their disposable millions to the less fortunate. The rest of the population struggles to get by and I for one am sick of watching an inefficient bunch of buffoons piss my tax $$'s down the proverbial pisser all under the guise of government.

The care of all Americans is not the governments job. We each are responsible for taking care of our own families. You want the government to perform that task for you ?
