Why I voted conservative...
Because I believe I should impose my beliefs on others because they are wrong and I am right.
Because I believe that the environment is there for us to rape as much as we can.
Because I believe corporations are people too and should have all the rights of people.
Because I believe that I believe that if someone can take something from another, then it's theirs to keep.
Because I believe that I'm better than all those low lifes who don't make as much money as me.
Because I believe that science is only useful if it supports my ideas and beliefs.
Because I believe corporations will spend my money better than I will.
Because I believe I'm entitled to my own facts.
Because I believe the country should have winners and losers and if you have nothing, then too bad for you.
Because I believe that there should be religious and cultural tests for elected office and jobs.
Because I believe that if my party says it is so, then I don't ever go against them.
Because I believe that the few who have all the power and money deserve to have it that way.
Because I believe health care is a privilege and those who cannot afford it shoul
How to talk to your crazy tea-party uncle about taxes
Submitted by ryantxr on Mon, 2010-08-30 15:21HOW TO TALK TO YOUR CRAZY TEA-PARTY UNCLE ABOUT TAXES
After decades of relentless right-wing propaganda, knee-jerk anti-tax, anti-government thinking has become ingrained in many of us. Here’s some tips on how to respond to our tea-party brothers and sisters when they come back at you with Rush Limbaugh talking points on taxes:
‘Obama is raising my taxes!’
Actually… you probably got a tax cut. 95% of us (new #’s suggest it’s more like 98%) got a tax cut in 2009, but most don’t know it. In a recent CBS News Poll, only 12% knew they got a federal tax cut last year.
President Obama and Congress passed 25 separate tax cuts. The stimulus package included $300 billion in tax cuts for the middle class, one of the largest in history.
‘I didn’t get a check like I did from George Bush.’
President Obama didn’t send out a highly publicized separate U.S. Treasury check, as President Bush did. Instead our payroll taxes went down, which increases the likelihood it will boost the economy faster, but slower tax cuts are better for economy than simply a one-time $350 check.
(For example, even just $13 more in your pocket a week amounts to $676 more in your pocket over the course of a year.)
‘I’m sick of paying so much in taxes.’
Nobody likes to pay taxes, but they support our American way of life.
Who pays for our military, our food inspection, our roads? Who creates the economic and educational foundation businesses need to thrive? Our taxes.
Ask yourself: which popular government programs and services are you willing to live without?
You didn't get mad when
