You should consider giving it a rest. Republicans can use the next 8 years to regroup. Nothing's going to change that much. | Wanna bet?
What'll change big-time is your taxes.
Bet on it... | Well, I'm not happy and damn pissed off about that, and yes, I agree with you. But I think the republicans need to be spanked into reality now, and as you now, my last registered status was as a republican. |
I used to vote GOP, mostly, but not always. But in 1996, I started voting Libertarian after Bob Dole ran on the ticket.
Cut taxes, increase deficits, and then he would look for places to cut, later.
He didn't dare talk about cutting Social Security and Medicare.
As for taxes, I think taxes will be going up, no matter who wins, be it, McCain, Hillary, or Obama.
How much they will go up, will vary depending on the candidate, IMO.
Folks, taxes will be going up soon, as the first Baby Boomer started collectin S.S. on January 1, 2008.
Medicare is 5 times worse than S.S.
The money will have to be collected somewhere and somehow, be it payroll, SS, or some VAT like system.
