Do You Want Higher Taxes?

TheDemSocialist said:
Right... TurtleDude is this the only argument of theory you have toward socialism? "Its a pipe dream and lazy, loser slobs are only socialists"? Seriously? Do you have anything other than that idiotic, conservative theory? Seriously?
Then im guessing Einstein, MLK, George Orwell, Ernest Hemingway, Hellen Keller were all just "losers".

I would be willing to pay higher taxes.... but only in a situation where the budget was balanced, the entitlements were reformed to be viable, spending was severely curtailed, etc. Fix the spending problem, and then we need to start tackling the debt.... but if we just hike taxes now, it will only feed the spending problem.

I am not willing to pay more unless we were to get more benefits-like additional votes

This might come a shock to you but yes MLK was a socialist.. Ever heard his speeches or lectures other than Civil Right speeches?
He was a self proclaimed socialist...

freedom scares the crap out of many people-especially those who crave a nanny state to take care of them an to relieve them of making any tough choices

Happiness and Prosperity existed well before an ever growing ever reaching Massive Liberal Nanny State Government came to be...........except they were in greater abundance.

Im not in favour of a nanny state its just the question.Do you want higher taxes suggests to me do you believe in taxes at all.

Only reason he would vote Republican is because majority of Democrats back then were the ones holding back Civil Rights (southern Democrats). But just because you vote one way does not mean "you are that" (so to say). I vote Democrat because i consider them the "lesser of two evils" but that does not make me a "Democrat".
Have you ever listened or read any of his speeches or lectures about social stance other than the fight for Civil Rights?

""something is wrong with capitalism... There must be a better distribution of wealth, and maybe America must move toward a democratic socialism".-MLK
 
No, I don't want higher taxes. I also think it's wrong for others to want to push taxes upon others. Especially when they wouldn't do the same to themselves.

true, my college was full of pillow headed young socialists who are now big bucks wall street OPM types

Ever heard of David McIntosh? Dan Quayle Consigliere who was a congressman in Indiana and gave up a lifetime job in the congress to run against a popular dem governor (O'Bannion who won).

He was head of the Socialist party at Yale. went to U of Chicago Law school and gave up that silly left wing nonsense and helped start the Federalist Society with out mutual friends Steven Calabresi, Lee Liberman (Otis) and Peter Keisler (former acting US Attorney General)

OK. I just had to do this since Obama seems to think that 80% of Americans want higher taxes. Well......let's find out.:lamo

Hell no. The IRS needs to be eliminated and flat taxes for everyone. Problem solved. No more bitching about some paying more than others. But more importantly than taxes is a balanced budget.
