...Name the modern Western countries that have a flat tax.
Oh, I don't know...do you consider Iceland a modern western civilization or just a bunch of Vikings?
I got a better one. Why don't you name a "modern" western country with a progressive tax system that AIN'T BANKRUPT!!!
Better yet, why don't you try
THIS for a little light reading!
If you don't like or trust that, try
THIS From the CATO institute!
What's our growth been over the last few years...1-1 1/2% and MAYbe 5% in a good year over our current system?
If obama wants to talk felonies, how about the Rezko land deals? How about Fast and Furious? How about the national security leaks? How about that cocaine use? Did that break any laws? The Choom Wagon pedalling pot?
Okay-
Let's talk about those.
Patrick Fitzgerald investigated every aspect of Rezko, and Rezko alone was guilty of those things. If Rezko could offer a get out of jail free card by ratting out Obama, he would have. So Argument fail.
Fast and Furious- You mean the operation started by Bush? FAIL.
National Security Leaks- FAIL.
Cocaine use. Well, yeah, I guess we have stupid laws that treat medical issues like felonies, that would be a felony... of course, the government only really prosecutes distribution, not use.
As to your mythical clearing of Obama from involvement of with Rezko...why don't you describe for the class how the man know as the "political fixer" in Obama's home town was NOT involved with Obama and Ali Ata...WHO by the way is a CLOSE Obama friend and contributor of TENS of THOUSANDS in straw donations from Rezko's pocket to Obama and it just so happens is about to be sentenced for the same CORRUPTION as Rezko. Ali Ata and Barak Obama made WEEKLY visits to Rezko's offices during 2004 and 05. And THAT is in the FBI reports that convicted Rezko and Ali Ata!
Dude...there ain't even 6 degrees of separation in that crap!
FAIL!!!
"
Fast and Furious- You mean the operation started by Bush? FAIL. "
LIE!!!!
The operation...called Operation Linebacker under Bush was ENDED IN 2007 when the bad guys figured out that the FBI was putting RFI transmitters in the guns and started removing them so they could not be traced. FACT!
Linebacker...which involved a couple HUNDRED guns, resulted in the recovery of EVERY SINGLE gun and the arrest of over 12 hundred bad guys. FACT!
Fast and Furious was a RE START of the program in 2009 under a different name AND president, involved THOUSANDS of untraceable guns and has resulted in more MURDERS than Linebacker did arrest! FACT!!!!!!!!!!
YOU are full of SHIT...FAIL!
As to our "stupid" laws...they ARE THE LAW!!!
Like them or not...doesn't much matter if you don't like it...he is an ADMITTED felon if he broke those laws!
FAIL!!!
Bush did play dirty against McCain. And a lot of McCain supporters ended up vote for Gore, who won the popular vote, lest we forget.
The fact is, Romney slimed his opponents, so now that he's getting slimed (which is, people are actually pointing out his history) it's really hard to work up much sympathy for him.
LMAOff........lest we forget, Gore didn't even win in Tennessee...his HOME STATE!!!
By the way, the attacks some of you folks seem to be so offended by were from PACs, NOT Romney. The attacks on Romney are coming DIRECTLY from Obama and OFFICIALS inside his administration and campaign. VERY different!
It is ILLEGAL for a candidate to conspire with a PAC!
You lefties aren't claiming another "conspiracy theory" after attacking the right for it are you? THAT would be hypocritical!
