Paying more taxes is Patriotic?

Maybe I was too hard on you earlier and for that I should apologize, but for me, politics isn't about finding the perfect candidate. If I sit around and wait for someone to run that has 100% my views, I am never going to vote. For me, it's about voting for the candidate that is closest to my views.

For me, Sen. Obama is closer to my ideas and beliefs than Sen. McCain. Biden, although not my ideal VP candidate, is leaps and bounds better than evangical Christian Sarah Palin...because I'm an atheist, so she downright scares me.

It's not just a single issue thing for me though. In fact, there's very little worse than single-issue voters. I'm pro-choice, I'm for equal gay rights, etc. I also don't want to stay in Iraq forever and go to war with both Iran and Russia. Drilling doesn't matter to me as it will have no effect on this next presidential run. In fact, we probably wouldn't see any change for around a decade and then it would be minimal at best. So I don't really see why it's such a hammering point.

It's just frustrating to see our economy in such a state of disarray. 6.1% unemployment rate. 600k+ jobs lost in the last 9 months. Lehman, Merrill Lynch, etc. problems. All that mess. What do they talk about in the media? Sarah Palin having a tanning bed...

It's expected reaction by the Obama cult, to attack anything that questions his all mighty wisdom. His ideas about 70% of them are not even close to mine.

I don't want a president of vp that's going to try to shove religion down my throat.

Drilling yeah go ahead and do it, probably a foreing company will do the job and once again our money goes to another country.

Yeah economy is bad that we both agree, that's why I am concerned more about that being fixed and not having the next president worried about trivial stuff like people of same sex should be able to get married and have equal rights as me and my wife or that stem cell research has do be banned because of their religious beliefs.

Patriotic? Absolutely. There is no mandatory military service in this country. There's no law that says you should ever vote or give your opinion. You dont even have to have a job to live in this country. You wont starve, you wont freeze to death. Being homeless in America is very possible. It's a nation full of whiners.

I agree that there is plenty of money misused and wasted no matter WHAT section of society. Restaurants, banks, government and private. But.. what you're against is completely ludicrous.

Do you want to pay taxes, or do you want to go out and pave the roads yourself? Pay taxes? Oh damn! That's my money! I need an extra bottle of Jose Cuervo. Pay taxes? Homeless dont deserve any tax money! Bah!

What you're paying for is going to meaningful programs a huge majority of the time. You dont want to pay for the privilege of living in this society, go to Mexico. You're paying for people to maintain your own quality of life in America. Supermarkets, high speed internet connections and free porn. You bite the hand that feeds you all this?

...Ungrateful citizen that needs a year in iraq or cuba.

Perhaps Mr.Biden and ALL of his peers on BOTH sides of the aisle should refuse their salaries and all of their extravagant government benefits and entitlements.Once they do that and return their money to the tax base,then I will listen.--I used to feel like you,Torre,that it is an honor to live in this great nation and I didn't mind paying more for our way of life.----Then I discovered how much tax money is wasted and given away to our so called representatives and their personal special interest buddies and projects.--If you think our tax money is spent wisely and not wasted,abused,and even stolen;You are mistaken.-Politicians talk the talk,but don't walk the walk.

I've been saying that since ol barry showed up with 30 year old ideas that didn't work for Carter. And trying to set up GOVERNMENT health care, THERE'S a GREAT Idea!!!

What has the government set up that ever worked the way it should?
If they do get a good system initially, they will screw with it until they break it.

Just like this whole financial crisis, they start out to try to bail out a whole financial system. A system that should have been changed a long time ago.

It is also ridiculous that they want ALL the mortgages, good and bad. ONLY 5% of people are in foreclosure, or having real issues paying their mortgage. Just taking on the bad loans would save billions and billions.

Like I heard on the radio this morning, they are dropping a Nuclear bomb on a piss ant!

Now they are adding earmark after earmark so the final total will be ridiculously bloated and make no sense.

They are fiddling with it until they break it!
