Some of the other countries were countries that refused to help us because they have douche governments when it comes to fighting necessary fights. I think the other five were Israel, Britain, China, Germany, and France.
No, they had governments run by intelligent people and knew that spending money on a stupid war is a stupid idea.

I didn't have my driver's license or a bike then. My parents took me, and I wanted to go back again and again because the food tasted awesome. That is not brainwashing. It is the selling of a desirable product. It is why they are so enormously successful.
The human body is evolutionally repulsed by large amounts of fat. It only tastes good once you're already addicted to it. It's desirable because it's addictive, not because of it's taste.

They own the companies. It is their money. The more money they have in their pockets/banks, the more new businesses they can create. Have you noticed how people who get rich acting or playing sports very often start their own businesses? Why might that be??????????? In the cases of corporations, which are owned by shareholders, the more money the ownerS make, the more they stimulate the economy.
No, the more the people spend the more they stimulate the economy. You're talking about the effect, not the cause.

So, if the rich had less money, they would pay their employees more money? :?
If their employees don't get tax breaks, how will they buy things which is the companies revenue?
Quote:
I want taxes on the middle class to be lowered too. The same principles apply.
You supported a war that put the country 11 trillion dollars in debt, you can't have both.

Why is the United States such a success story?
You do realize that the biggest economic growths in the last 100 years were during FDR, JFK, and Clinton, while the biggest economic declines were during W, Reagan, and Nixon right? Three of the presidents I mentioned were tax and spend liberals, three of them were trickle down economics and big military. Lets see if we can match then up. :D

Why did the Soviet Union collapse?
They had a runaway military budget and a pure communist rule that caused the working class and the upper class to be poor, which created little wealth, and therefore no money to support their insane military budget.
Quote:
Bush is not much of a fiscal conservative. Didn't Keith Olbermann tell you that?
Name one Republican in the past 100 years that was a fiscal conservative. The word "Conservative" when talking about republican politicians does not mean financial conservative. It did at one time, but now it refers to their backwards religious views. Every republican supports a huge government and will spend as much money on the military as they want with no regards to where the money comes from.
Quote:
The military's money comes from taxes, which we should have. That does not mean we can't cut your socialist nonsense and lower taxes.
Then how do you plan to pay for it? The idea that future generations will pay for it is just stupid. The amount of money that was spent in Iraq alone could have sent every single American to college, given every single American 30 years worth of health care, or created millions of jobs and depleted the country's carbon footprint if it had been invested in alternative energy.
