Thread: What is a Terrorist?

The bailout is the only thing to stop the economy from collapsing. The american people have to save the industries because... they're fucking bankrupt.

But sure blame the democrats, even though historically it's always been republicans that cause economy deficits and democrats that get us out.

You have it ass backwards, actually. The bailouts are fascistic and are what fundamentally cause a cancerous economy. Think about it: who are the ones saying that the economy needs more "regulation" and "government help"? The politicians. Who benefits the most from a fascist economy? The politicians, and their patsies in industry.

I really don't want to commit reductio ad hitlerum here, but it applies. The exact same rhetoric being spouted by our politicians today was said by Hitler in the early 30s, and we all know how that bailout turned out.

The bailouts only make things worse. The economy is doing bad so what do we do? We spend even more money that we don't have! Here is a question for you. How do you dig yourself out of debt by spending money?

I await the concrete explanation behind the cereal box rhetoric you just repeated. I can't respond unless you make yourself clear.

I totally agree with you on that. We need to cut spending big time and lower taxes big time. Then people will start buying stuff like crazy, and THAT is what stimulates an economy. Raising taxes leads to the buying of less, which inhibits an economy. I am absolutely terrified of what Obama might be about to do to our economy. I actually wonder if this country will even exist in ten years.

And fuck the Republican party for abandoning real conservatism.

What of raising the taxes of higher income brackets and moderating the lower?

As I said, even Bill O'Reilly agreed to this. But what about you?

No. The rich do too much spending for them to be inhibited. Let's lower their taxes a lot and watch the economy get jacked way up.

I am more conservative than Bill O'Reilly on economics, but far more liberal than any Democrat in Congress on social issues. That makes me a misfit and the subject of a great deal of political hate from both major sides. Conservatives think I am a left wing fanatic, and liberals think I am a right wing fanatic. It's hard for me to talk about politics without pissing off 95% of the people who hear me.

What is it better to spend money on:
- Letting rich spend their investments on God knows where
- Taking that money and offering towards school bursaries
