Do you think leftists realize that people have to actually pay taxes for the socialist programs they desire? - All My Love, Jeff - 11-27-2012 06:46 AM
The higher the taxes, the less money folks have in their pocketbook to spend and/or invest. Thus, the government's tentacles grow more and more! Personal incentive is the goose that laid the golden egg, NOT socialism!!!

Over 30 % of the responders here do not pay any fed or state income tax's so do you expect them to have any interest in your post

We sure do! You underestimate us.

What the hell are you talking about. 95% of Americans got a tax break signed into law today. You should move to a 3rd world country and stop taking advantage of the country my money helped to build.

I think many of them don't understand it.

Unbridled capitalism isn't doing the country much good either. Look at where it got us. If you ignore history, then you can make the argument you just posted. However, government has always aided big business in the country, especially since the late 19th century.

Do rightists realize that social programs benefit all members of society? Oh right. They probably do, they don't want the best for society they want to keep their riches.

It doesn't matter whether they realize it, or even care. All that matters is that the masses blindly go along and believe the something for nothing mantra.
