    Nope, and my apologies if I made that look like fact. I was using those numbers as an analogy that while the middle class may save more as a percentage of income than the higher income classes, that's never been a consideration when politicians on the left criticize any type of tax cut. It's always done in absolute dollars. Which I get. It makes the politics look better.

      Totally disagree, as I would expect most people to do once they look at what their taxes actually pay for.

Yes, there is WAY too much waste in the system, but I have no issue with paying taxes...I'd happily pay more if they ever figure out the health care issue.

          i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.

            I didnt say that people are opposed to paying taxes when the money is spent on good things. NO ONE wants to pay more taxes with the waste that is already there.
            It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.

              I get what you were driving at, it just needed a little clarification.

                  you keep saying that but dont the past 10 years of your very firm democrat support mean something? I cannot recall you saying one nice thing about any republican idea/person in the past 10 years. If I voted for Gore and Kerry, does that make me a lefty now?

                          The Republican party has skewed far right over the past decade. Only delusional supporters feel otherwise.

                            yes. And I would have voted for Bill Clinton in 96 but I was too young to care, although I did sort of like him.

                              Just as the Democratic party has skewed farther left over the past decade. Only delusional supporters feel otherwise.


                              Hmmmm, there is a party that is more centrist in many ways. NAH!

                              • The vote passed by a count of 244 to 35, as 133 Democrats elected to vote "present" on the resolution. The bill was brought to the floor under suspension of the rules, which requires a two-thirds super-majority of members voting and present for passage. About 69 percent of members voted in favor of the resolution.

                                The showdown played out on Capitol Hill in dramatic fashion as several progressive Democrats have signed onto new legislation that would abolish ICE and redistribute many of its responsibilities to other agencies.
                                Do you support ICE?

                                133 democrats: "Present"

                                Too afraid to pick a side. :|
