does that really look “isolated”

The unfortunate thing is that you liberals just make up shit like this all the time…We only have time to pin you down some of the time

You can’t be serious with this, are you? Ya, I think he does.

Obama lives in the same neighborhood as people who don’t have as much, and has lived their most of his adult life. McCain splits his time between a bunch of isolated estates.

Bush has more than McCain and comes from a much higher social class, and Bush savaged McCain for his audacity to run against him, engaging in a lot of disgusting tactics in South Carolina– Bush obviously treats people whom he believes to be his “lessors” very poorly.

Finally, the American people seem to dislike candidates who have wealthy wives. Those voters made their voices heard in 2004 and deserve representation in 2008. Is it reprehensible for you to claim that they don’t deserve a vote, simply because the target of their ire and ridicule is on Cindy McCain, rather than the much more intelligent and interesting Teresa Heinz Kerry.

A small point, I know, and I’m late to this shindig, but what would make me think he cares about anything else, if he doesn’t even care about his own stuff? Do you honestly think he cares about you?

Eh, I was shooting towards asshole, really, but whatever.

As far as Somalia is concerned: You’re confusing liberty with anarchy. I’m not surprised that the concepts are confusing to liberals.

You haven’t heard from alot of libertarians, have you?

progressive income tax

We have a MORE progressive income tax system now under Bush than we’ve had since before Carter. I’ll link to the proof in this blog later.

As far as Somalia is concerned: You’re confusing liberty with anarchy. I’m not surprised that the concepts are confusing to liberals.

How much of a tax cut did you get in the great Bush tax-cut scheme of 2001 and 2003? Now, how much do you think Cindy McCain got? Know what I’m sayin’?

I’ve been through the statistics about the tax cuts before on this blog. Repeatedly. I don’t have time right now to dig them up and go through it again as links. Each of the bottom 4 quintiles (that’s the bottom 80% of earners) got substantially larger tax cuts than the top quintile. That’s a fact that can’t be disputed if you bother to look at the tax rates. The fact that McCain and other incredibly wealthy people saved vastly larger sums of money has to do with the fact that they also pay even larger sums in taxes. For example, would you rather save 33% or 5%? If someone sees a 33% reduction on a former $3,000 tax bill, that’s still going to be much less money than a 5% savings on a $3,000,000 tax bill.

You know, comments like this are really fucking unacceptable. Insults are one thing. Accusing another person commenting on this blog of being a pedophile and doing so with the comfort of anonymity makes you the biggest PUSSY I’ve come across in a long time.

You’re a pussy Zython.

Ok, considering the fact that someone of your…um…character has most likely done something in the past that would make it illegal for you to be within 100 feet of children, I’m pretty sure this isn’t true.

the SS system keeps your loved ones from starving in their old age

Gosh, maybe I should take some responsibility to help them out if they were my “loved ones,” rather than expecting everyone else to do it for me. You’d also think they would have quite a nest egg if they were allowed to invest the nearly 8% of the income that is taken from them for their own good. But of course we can’t trust people with their own money. We better take it away and give some of it back in pre-determined chunks when they’re older (unless they die first).

As far as the other taxes — when I argue that I shouldn’t pay any taxes then feel free to bring up your arguments again — then they won’t be such a pathetic strawman.

Furthermore, when half of the country is not paying any federal income tax and my small tax bracket (made from the salaries of a middle school teacher and an elementary teacher) is paying 2/3 of all collected taxes in the nation, I’m certain I’m well ahead of my “fair share.”

It’s not the activity alone, you moron. It’s the fact that those same people shriek to the high heavens about homosexuals having the same rights as heterosexuals, calling them perverts and pedophiles. It’s the hypocricy.

However, I must be keeping you. Those crosses won’t burn themselves.

As far as “deviant sex” is concerned (I’m not sure why you thought to analogize that with elitism — there’s probably something there psycologically that you may want to talk about with a therapist), it sure seems like leftists spend a lot of time and effort pointing out the non-mainstream sexual activities of people they don’t like. But, hey — I’m sure it’s done out of tolerance and a desire to avoid poking your noses in other people’s personal lives.

Wow, this is sounding just like the wingnut explanation (a la pecksniff assheads like Dennis Prager) that it’s unfair to accuse “family values” Republicans of hypocrisy when they cheat on their spouses, pick up rent boys, or die of auto-erotic asphyxiation while wearing multiple wetsuits with dildoes stuck up their asses. What’s important isn’t what they DO, it’s what they STAND FOR! And they stand for more goodness and purity than rotten Democrats who stay loyal to their spouses but also don’t wag their fingers at everyone else’s personal lives!

Yes family values isn’t about what deviant sex you have, it’s about what deviant sex you tell others NOT to have! Elitism isn’t about being filthy stinking rich and not having a clue how the mass of Americans live, it’s about how you make them THINK you give a crap about them! Go Republicans!

So tell me Bruce – whats fair? Who decides what’s fair?

You know, I’ve encountered my share of crabby rugged Internet libertarians, and I’ve often wondered why they don’t go to Somalia, where there’s no entrenched tax system and no government interference with their desire and certain ability to make it in the world. I don’t know if any of them have taken the plunge.

But at least they’re here, trying to spin the fact that their guy doesn’t know how many houses he owns, so it’s entertaining at least.
