Why I like Susan Collins

[Ernie S.]

Good for her. She's also coming up for re-election...

She and Snowe are shoe-ins as long as they want the job. When they retire, Maine just may get a couple Conservative Senators.

Libs answer to any money problem is to TAX the rich. How but we cut some spending before you hit the RICH for even more money. They pay most of the taxes as it is. The Libs wont be happy until they take 100 percent of their income!

Oh, you mean like Ronald Reagan who raised taxes 11 times?

You know how people talk, lovingly, of the prosperity of the United States during the 50s? Do you know what the top marginal tax rate was for the wealthy during that time?

Look into it...

Historical Top Tax Rate

We invaded two countries AND cut taxes without ANY cuts in spending. On what planet is that a good idea?

Well now we are fuck deep in a hole and ONLY cutting isn't going to get us out of it. We need revenue AND cuts if we are ever going to be out of the deep red.

Remind me what the Dems, in power for 5 years, have done about it? Oh yeah, they made it worse.
