THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES: #1
Fiscal and social differences between Conservatives and Liberals:

Conservatives believe in lowering taxes for all tax payers. Obviously, those who pay higher taxes will get the biggest break with an even percentage. Example, Mr. Smith makes $100,000.00 a year and his taxes are cut by $2500.00 while Mr. Jones makes $50,000.00 a year are cut by $1,250.00 The percentage is the same. The one who earns more gets more back. Common sense. Mr. Gray, meanwhile, paid no taxes because his income was too small. No tax cut will help him because he isn’t entitled to one.

Liberals want to increase taxes on those with higher incomes and give it to those with smaller incomes. They hope to tax the population into prosperity.

 

Wow! You actually know something. Sorry for this sounding mean, but was thinking the contrary in the other thread. However, this is just part of the economic description for socialism and capitalism...but good nonetheless

 

Nut (fruit)

"Nut is a hard shelled fruit of some plants that has an indehiscent seed. While a wide variety of dried seeds and fruits are called nuts in English, only a certain number of them are considered by biologists to be true nuts...

"Some fruits and seeds that do not meet the botanical definition but are nuts in the culinary sense:

* Almonds and walnuts are the edible seeds of drupe fruits — the leathery "flesh" is removed at harvest.
* Brazil nut is the seed from a capsule.
* Candlenut (used for oil) is a seed.
* Cashew nut is a seed.
* Coconut is a dry, fibrous drupe."

During the New Deal the top tax rate, the per capita gross domestic product, and the employment rate each grew.

During the 1950's the top tax rate never went below 91%. Those were years of broadly based economic growth. Christian conservatives are nostalgic about that decade.

 

It just goes to show the vast array of nuts out there. Then to make things worse, depending on an arbitrary human definition one man's "nut" is another man's "seed or fibrous drupe".

I'm sure even some true nuts don't really consider themselves nuts, and some perverse seeds harbour a deep seated secret desire to be referred to as nuts.

The vote is gonna happen tonight.

 

what a sad day for America, a sad day for it's citizens, and a rather sad day for history and freedom. Obama is continuing to destroy this country piece by piece. the politicians have spoken at their own expense. that is all i am going to say...rip

 

The House Just passed the health care reform act: 221-215. Now its on to the Senate.

 

That was close! But, it gets us to the next level.

 

*laughing* I doubt that.

 

Exactly. This is great it really is. But we're not really even half way done yet because its got to got to the senate and then conference.

I don't know about guys but I keep seeing these commercials from the anti health care reform people. They give you a number to call congress and register your complaint about health care reform. So I'm calling those numbers except I'm saying my complaint is health care better get passed or else.

 

Isn't that wonderful, I just heard about it...:excited:

 

I'll just content myself by offering congratulations to the House of Representatives for getting it done. Now the really hard work can begin.

And Stumbler, nice work demolishing our east texas friend. I wish you had gotten here sooner!

 

Those infommercials sound like the Republican's "ACORN".

 

Yeah, except that there's nothing "grass roots" about them. They're what we call "astroturf" groups, created, sponsored, promoted and paid for by big business, and made to LOOK like grass roots organizations and SOUND like grass roots organizations.

 

Yes, they have to spending a great deal of money on the infommercials. That kind of money does not come from the donations of ordinary people.

 

I was baby sitting and trying to explain. And it took a hell of a lot longer to try to explain.

But this time Kimi I'm not so sure the money is working any more. At least it hasn't so far and if it doesn't that will actually be a greater accomplishment than even health care reform itself.

 

The thing is, the message got really muddled. As much as they wanted to simply oppose anything and everything, they knew the majority of Americans, and even their own right-wing constituents, wanted SOMETHING done about the health care system. So it got really confusing -- like the one I kept seeing about how you should tell your congressman to support BIPARTISAN health care reform. Does anybody out there know what that means?

Republicans are still in that box, still voting no, no, no, no....and wondering how they're going to explain their ardent defense of the status quo to the folks back home. I'll bet you that, before this ends, a fair number of them will jump on the bandwagon...but only after they realize that passage is inevitable.

 

It did. Before they got done it reminded me of natives on a muddy river bank washing their clothes by beating them on rocks. But this is a first and I tbink there's going to be a second.

It is monumental on its own level but I think the momentum is shifting. And when we're done, yeah it will probably look like something washed in a muddy river, but it will at least be a start and something that's been coming for more than 100 years.
