The top 5% income earners pay 85% of the total tax bill. As a small business owner, I can tell you that everything you list that the dems want to give away makes me cringe. My business does not make a profit after I pay my taxes. I'd like to be able to afford to hire some more employess, but can't because the gov't takes my money and gives it to the lazy bastards who don't want to work! It is not a dem issue, it is a generational issue of dope smoking baby-boomers wanting to make decisions based on emotion rather than intellect. Answered by ric9757 - Sat Jan 26 22:21:33 2008 Is there really anything in today's America that is worth conserving? Q. I recognize that the liberals are proposing changes that are mostly for the worse, but is today's America really worth conserving? Is it really desirable that we conserve a country with an economy based around a pyramid of debt? Is it really desirable that we conserve the biggest imperialist empire that the world has ever seen? Is it really desirable that we conserve a country where half of all marriages end in divorce, the education system dumbs down our children, and there is no respect for the sanctity of life? Is it really desirable that we conserve a country where the highest tax rate is around 40%? Is it really desirable that we conserve a country where a central bank is allowed to create money backed by nothing out of thin air?… [cont.] Asked by Brad - Fri Feb 13 18:00:28 2009 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A.

I think a bigger question in my mind is...how do you get out of bed in the morning when you're such a nabob of negativism?

Q. Asked by MISES.ORG - Thu Jul 26 20:54:27 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Very good article you directed me to. I do have to agree with the author of it, Rockwell. If you really want to find an answer you your lead off question, read the book "The Sociopath Next Door" by Martha Stout. You will understand the mind of those in power. I direct you to this book because Mr. Rockwell has his list of 10 lies. Lie #2 is well suited for the book I have suggested. The book is going to cost about $20.00 or less. Last but not least, if you have a desire to understand how the economy works read "The Creature From Jekyll Island" by G.Edward Griffin. I leave you with 2 quotes, not of my own. If the American people really knew how the economy works, there would be a revolution before breakfast. = Henry Ford Democracy is 2… [cont.] Answered by Tinman12 - Thu Jul 26 21:28:40 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Tax rates around the world" See also:
