Oh please..........
Are you trying to tell me that you aren't lumping the democrats and progressives into your Marxist or Socialist classification?
Parroting back Rush is so lame! I also listened to him today!

I am not for eliminating defense entirely. I am just trying to help all the Liberal, Marxists, and Socialists to get the picture that if we cut all of what they hate it still isnt enough to pay for all the social programs they want.

No nation wants to break even on the dept. It's a waste of time.

So, in other words, you have asked a question and provided a hyperbolic response to that question which you will attribute to your opponent in the discussion and then you will use the argument you have made for them to prove that they are wrong....Congratulations on your Strawman thread.
If it would make you feel better and get you focused on my original questions instead of obsessing then I will be glad to do it. Just let me know. Heck, i will even take suggestions about the title if you feel something is more fitting?

This is a bunch of trolling nonsense. You fascist shills throw around the socialist marxist stuff as an insult and you know it.
This entire thread should be removed for trolling.
To the left leaning folks, next time one of these reprobates call you a communist or marxist, call them a fascist pig and see how they like it. You've got a bunch of old, ignorant, and inhumane conservatives running around here trying to act cute with their code words. These are the same folks that would sell their countrymen out to suck off a bunch of thieves and crooks. # these fascist whores of the oligarchy.

Why would you want to cut funding from that? Isn't helping people find jobs a good thing? Thought you wanted to help the poor? Ex-cons are the poorest I though. Isn't better to have them working then out on the streets falling back into crime?edit on 10/10/2011 by Mcupobob because: (no reason given)

How about leveling the playing field and quit welfare for the corporations. Oil companies making record profits, paying no taxes and receiving taxpayer subsidies.
How about taking away the farm subsidies for not growing crops to keep the prices up?
How about propping up companies that are "to big to fail" like banks.
and last but not least.....
costofwar.com...
You are such a hypocrite targeting social programs and ignoring taxpayer funded welfare for big business. Troll!
Ok, how much does that save us?
I just want you to know that when you call me a troll it turns me on.

So now anyone who doesn't believe in your belief system is a fascist? Guy asked a question, that wasn't even offensive. Can we drop the whole your trolling bit? It honestly makes your side seem touchy and defensive over nothing. Look, don't harass, educate with reason and logic. Not name calling and hyperboles.

I don't know why you fail to understand just how much money should be taxed from the entertainment industry right now, but isn't. With that change alone, we could pay off the national dept in 10 years. They make more money than any one person can spend in a lifetime, and they need to pay uncle sam.
