My Thoughts on Tonight's Election

If you think your tax is lower you are the one with mental issues.
Take a calculator and punch in your annual income, subtract state and fed income tax, Medicare, social security.
That gives you your take home pay .
Now subtract property tax.
Now add up all your spending on a different calculator, minus sales tax, then add that figure to your original budget, tax on gas, alcohol, meals etc ,
Do that and tell me it's not 50%!

I would imagine you are quite good at handling your household expenses. You err in your belief that the economy of a nation of 300 million can be managed in the same way.

Don't worry. It is quite a common mistake.

Try to think of your taxes (at whatever rate) being used to help your country grow.

There, doesn't that make you feel better?

Watch this space, the first term is about getting re elected, the second term is dogma!
High tax, job losses, social and economic turmoil, manipulation of race issues, gender issues until emergency measures can be implemented creating a true socialist state!

You clearly have absolutely no idea what socialism is. You therefore cannot judge it to be good or bad. If it's going to be that bad, may I suggest you stake out your local bridges.

Okay, I'm all ears. What exactly is your opinion of Republicans, if they're not evil?

Very few people are evil. Most people, however are easily swayed. More insane inputs than sane inputs will give you people who appear to be insane. The same people faced with sane inputs will appear sane.
None of us is truly who we think we are and certainly seldom the people we would like to be.

Today's republicans have swung to the right.

Why? I am guessing because there is a sizeable chunk of America who cannot be bothered to think for themselves and react to sound bites. Palin was a selfish woman who saw a way of becoming famous and rich. I would guess she took more than a single leaf from the books of tele evangelists.

Most people need to be told what to think. Tele evangelists know this, Palin knew this, the tea party that made her famous learned this and all together they ruined American politics and polarised the nation as it had never been polarised before.


Now you have the chance to make things better, to regain your respect, to work for the good of your nation.
Romney has gone. The tea party have finally lost the remnants of credibility they had.Through the rain and snow that is lashing your eastern shores the sun is fighting to be seen. Welcome it. Bask in its warmth.

Welcome back to the world..we thought, for a while, we had lost you.

I thought Romneys was better. It is much harder to be magnanimous in defeat. Obama's was good BUT it had, quite obviously, been fashioned round other notable speeches - he even sounded like MLK at one point.
I would give Obama 10 out of ten but I would give Romney a tiny bit more for 'difficulty'.

I thought Romney's speech sounded like an Oscar acceptance speech. "I'd like to thank Joe Blow, our talented and imaginative director, Sam Schmo, our wonderful producer, my co-star Debbie Doe whose luminous performance was the je ne sais quoi, blah blah blah..."

Taxation will do one thing, cripple the private sector, kill jobs create division and cause further turmoil to be exploited in the clamour to create a totalitarian socialist state.
I escaped a totalitarian state in my move to the USA, ive lived it, experienced it, and now the same old failed policies are being introduced here!

Then when we least expect it, Obama will take his revenge?
We are doomed, my child, my unborn have no future!

do you just make stuff up? it was basically a dead tie nationally on whether voters support obama care, 47 in favor, 45% oppose.

Of course there are a lot of people still opposed to ObamaCare and that's due to the lies and distortions regarding government involvement in medical care. The lies and distortions concerning the dozens of other countries with government medical care. Opponents search the internet to find a rare case of someone dying due to a lack of services while ignoring the 46,000 people who die every year in the US due a lack of medical insurance.

Then there's the lies about higher costs. Government medical lowers costs. There is no debate. Every statistic shows costs lowered by at least 1/3. (Oops, I hope Dix isn't reading this post.)

Finally, ObamaCare is a start, a step in the right direction. People talk about job loss. Sickness and death should not be a make work program. It's barbaric to evaluate a health care system by the number of jobs it provides.

As time passes ObamaCare will morph into a true government health care plan and the "pay or die" system will fade into obscurity just like it has in the dozens of other countries over the last half century or so. That's why the Repubs fought so hard to prevent it's inception. They know, just like in every other country that has implemented a health care plan, the people will never return to an archaic, leech-like, greedy, prehistoric remnant of a system.

It will be interesting to see the percentages, pro and con, for Obamacare when the '16 election rolls around after the people have actually experienced what modern medical care is supposed to be and look back on the lies and deceit used by the Republican party to hamper it.

So, as a business owner, you would not be prepared to share the expenses of raising an army to protect you and your family? You would prefer to carry your goods to market across the fields rather than contribute to roads and bridges. You would prefer to dig a hole in a field instead of contributing to a modern sewage system.
OK. You take that. The rest of us, the sensible ones, will live our lives with the conveniences our taxes bring.

Why is it that when someone says 'we don't need to raise taxes', the morons from the left start the straw man factory in full force? Show us Low where ANYONE stated that no one should pay ANY taxes or that the government shouldn't provide ANY services.

Point us to that example.
