It’s already been passed — what I think is irrelevant.

But it must be true that an increase in business expense has to have an effect. The fact that it’s passed on to the consumer is certainly no benefit.

If I had my way, they’d be forced to live on the median U.S. income for a family their size, until they did something to raise everybody’s income.

So you support an icrease in the minimum wage now, right?

And I meant to type ‘Wiblu’ (d*mmit!).

Wiblu, Wilbur

“When responsible conservatives like yourselves ‘

what a lazy and cheap technique.

Dugger says when progressives like Wilbur and Ward Churchill compare the 9/11 victims to little Eichmanns……..

zadura: No one “spends” anything on tax cuts.

I’m sure if taxes were low enough, I could a better job of surviving on my VA check.

But don’t give me this “spent tax cuts” nonsense.

Frank, let’s just agree with one thing. Medicaid and VA Benefits are a drain on U.S. resources that would be better spent on tax cuts. I am sure you agree.

This is kinda like when a conservative questions a liberals wisdom on the war and instead of a factual debate, the liberal just whines about his patriotism being questioned.

Oh you are so right, Dugger. When responsible conservatives like yourselves say that liberals “don’t care about national security”, are “objectively pro Saddam”, “root for the terrorists” and are guilty of “treason”, they’re just trying to initiate a friendly discussion of the issues, right?

Asshat!

limited international intervention hasn’t been a “conservative view” since the Cold War, unless you’re Pat Buchanan, the Last Isolationist.

I sure don’t know what happened to fiscal responsibility, but I am positive of two things: I don’t want the gummint to have anybody’s money; and if Republicans are fiscally irresponsible, then Democrats are more so.

In the area of individual freedom, I don’t see Republicans as doing more harm than Democrats, especially in the area of taxes and gun control.

Frank, I have no idea what conservative views are. They used to be fiscal responsibility, limited international intervention, and personal liberty. I still hold those views even though they are no longer conservative.

David Brooks, the ONLY conservative at the NYT — that’s funny.

fd,

It’s funny you mention the NYT, because that’s the paper that David Brooks writes for!!!

Is that the same New York Times that DAVID BROOKS WRITES FOR?

I don’t get my marching orders from the New York Times, like you liberals.

No Shit. You probably take yours from Archie Comics.

zython: I answered that false charge by Oliver already, so your comment is not just silly, it’s superfluous.

zadura: I’m sorry if you’re not excited with being a liberal. I’ve always been very excited to be a conservative.
And, didn’t I ask you if you held any conservative views?
I guess that’s a big N – O, eh?

By: Dugger

I’m puzzled. Brooks doesn’t contend Bush isn’t wealthy, merely that Pelosi is also wealthy which she is and has been for some time. This is kinda like when a conservative questions a liberals wisdom on the war and instead of a factual debate, the liberal just whines about his patriotism being questioned.

Let me ’splain something. Congressional Democrats are wealthy plutocrats. So are the Republicans. In fact, the Senate particularly is loaded with excessively wealthy Democrats.
And I apologize for ‘challenging your patriotism’.

Also, it would help if your “but they did it too” argument wasn’t 40+ years old.

But then conservatives wouldn’t have a leg to stand on.
