and if a republican becomes president, i'm sure all taxes will go up in 2013 moondog Send a noteboard - 20/09/2011 04:39:21 PM
after all, the current leadership of congressional and senatorial republicans aren't in office to do the people's business, they're only there to make sure obama is not re-elected. why bother compromising for the good of the country when your political majority is at stake? :rolleyes:

i would not be surprised in the least that republicans will raise taxes if they win out next year because it's exactly the kind of thing that happens every election cycle. just like i'm sure that 90% of people will completely forget this stupid no tax pledge when their taxes go up in the next president's term....

Many will find any pledge unreasonable. Joel - 19/09/2011 07:01:20 AM 601 Views
Too bad for them, any pledge stands or falls on its own merits just like in real life Isaac - 19/09/2011 08:35:13 PM 613 Views
If elected I pledge not to post on the RPMB. Joel - 20/09/2011 01:54:00 PM 740 Views
That didn't really make sense Isaac - 20/09/2011 07:26:40 PM 675 Views
Sure it does: Pledging to do what one wanted to do anyway is rhetoric, not principle. Joel - 20/09/2011 08:04:25 PM 709 Views
Now you're debating with the definition of the word Isaac - 20/09/2011 08:22:53 PM 683 Views

That works if you get rid of regressive taxes like the sales tax. Vivien - 21/09/2011 04:34:07 PM 537 Views
a lot of people don't seem to understand that sales tax is a regressive tax random thoughts - 21/09/2011 04:44:16 PM 595 Views
It doesn't have to be Isaac - 21/09/2011 07:45:31 PM 700 Views
Your solution is to tax people's savings? Tax "money storage", so that would be banks, right? Vivien - 21/09/2011 10:29:36 PM 676 Views
I don't recall saying it was my solution Isaac - 25/09/2011 05:01:56 PM 749 Views
