When we get back in power............

[SoFlaJets]

it is universally agreed that the Dems Will have to raise taxes to fix what the Bush crime family has wrought.Suppose that President Dean says"nope we ain't gonna do it America,this is what the GOP has done to our country and we won't fix it AGAIN,not this time."Bushco is doing the raiding of our treasury because they KNOW the fiscally responsible dems will clean up their mess AGAIN.Like spoiled reckless children who have maids and nannies and butlers and cleaning crews hired to well clean up after them-that is what we dems are to them.I say screw them,if they're gonna play politics with taxpayers money OUR money as dickweed liked to say,when he was touting his tax cut proposals.They figured well we can give it all away to our contributors and when the asshole dems get back in office we can say....see they are big govt.spenders who will raise your taxes.I say NOT THIS TIME..what say ye DUers?

1. I have a better idea. If the Dems can get into the White House,

they should immediately freeze Bush's, Cheney's, etc assets and the assets of the republican party. Arrest these idiots for treason and parade them around the US for say $20 a head to peek at them, say $100 to throw rotten fruit at them.

Then they should just stop the future tax decreases.

4. Even the conservatives

are whining about bush's figures. They are saying he is spinning the figures and that there is more being spent than bush is admitting. They are not happy. They are, as usual, whining about the Medicare spending that is going to break the bank. It is going to because of the tax breaks for the rich. This is going to be an interesting election. He may end up losing because his base left him. The scare tactics are just a cover up. The guy from Tunisia who got Ridge's shorts in a twist never left Tunisia. This may just a way to keep our minds off of what is going on that they want us to forget about. They are mean spirited.

5. Yeah!

That's the way to fix it!

Nothing like constructive suggestions, eh?

2. He should abolish the bushco

welfare/tax gift to the rich clear back to 2001. Then use the money to pay off their debt. The next AG should charge every member of the bushco regime with treason and crimes against humanity. Then get the court to impound and sell their all their assets to reimburse the treasury.

3. Redeeming words

Of all the demonized words, taxes is the most ancient and universally loathed. So much in the past was a result of the rich and the powerful robbing and controlling their fiefdoms that the other side, the strengthening of infrastructure and social pooling of resources, never made the concept palatable.

Yet taxation is just another means of paying for services, ptentially the fairest and most economical of a society providing for all its members and gaining things impossible for the individual to have no matter how wealthy or privileged they might be.

Businesses thus "tax" their customers. They too have a maze and smoke and mirrors system to multiply how they pay without ever paying themselves for other goods and services(some maintained by the ttaxes of their "customers"). Oh right, it's all about choice. I forgot. Well, try to buy health care without insurance, or insurance without a group provider, or compare that to countries with national health care programs funded by "taxes". One way or another you are "taxed" and you must pay. As an individual buyer you have little power. As a taxpayer you can vote(possibly) and insure the justice and workability of the common good.

Or you can abolish government on your behalf(which strangely does not disappear but turns into yet another pocketpicking arm of business). Because we can trust the greediest, most ruthless SOB's on the planet to take care of us, can't we? That's what we pay "taxes" to them for isn't it? Aren't we always told high and low thius is the "best" system?

6. To get back "in power" you need the Senate and the House

is anybody working on this?
