This.redacted] [quote author=Dr. Javelin said:How about overall tax cuts? Everyone's happy.
Though that would mean reducing the size of government, which is of course a terrible idea as Obama has told us time and time again. Maybe we should expand government and raise taxes on the hard-working middle class! What an excellent idea!
Personally I feel that we could easily cut back on many government-funded venues such as environmentalism and relief effort and leave them in the hands of charity.
We don't need a government that is as overgrown as ours. We don't need to police the world, or send money to all of the countries overseas, or have the bad programs we have that are a drain on the economy.
Tax cuts on the rich, poor, and middle-class are all good. Cutting taxes on them all directly benefits them all, and also indirectly benefits the middle-class and the poor further by allowing employers to: employ more people and to increase the salaries of their workforce. Let everybody do what they want with their money: it is their money, after all, not the government's.

That's right, Regan proved when you cut taxes on the rich it trickles down to everyone, the middle class included. We know he was right because the economy prospered in the '80s. The rich are the ones who create jobs and hire people. I don't get why rich people are so hated, and yet everyone wants to be one! They aren't all bad men. Most of them just provide a good or service a lot of people want! What's wrong with that? What is the alternative to capitalism? The Red Flag of Communism which has led to the death of hundreds of millions in the 20th century?! I think Obama should be called before the House Unamerican Activities Committee!
A lot of people have attacked James Buchanan. Yes, the South seceded when he was a lame-duck president, and he could have sent the Army to crush them and prevented the American Civil War, in which the United States lost more men than the Revolutionary War, The War of 1812, the Spanish American Wario, World War I, World War II, and Vietnam COMBINED. But yet, he was a lame-duck and just didn't want to get involved. He did make some accomplishments during his presidency. When he retired, he thought history would judge him well. Unfortunately, historians have not been so flattering to the memory of James Buchanan.
A lot of people here have also attacked Hoover. Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again. He was a great Humanitarian. The Depression was not his fault. It just happened to happen while he was president. He did not want to turn the United States into a Communistic/Socialistic Welfare state. All the Government spending during FDR's regime did not help the Depression, it only made it worse.
Someone here said something against Nixon. He covered up that break-in at the Watergate Hotel WHO CARES?!!! SERIOUSLY! There was NO WAY IN HELL Nixon was going to lose to a far-leftist like George McGovern, anyway! He was a good president, he accomplished a lot during his presidency. Can you really compare that stupid little scandal to anything like getting us involved in unessesary WARS?!!!
