Shows that even Republican crazies are sensible people. They are just mad with power. Hate what power does to people, the pursuit of it leaves us all suffering.

Ths thread is probably the right place for this = here's a nice clip of a wannabe proto-ann coulter & cameraman getting a verbal beatdown from matt damon: <iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WFHJkvEwyhk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Thomas Freidman? Fareed Zakaria? Chris Matthews? OH, can't forget to hate on Krugman. Yeah, what a list of traitors. You know the reds are desperate when they are trying to pick fights over this terrorist rhetoric babble, just to distract you from the crisis and who they're actually working for.
Maybe they are just embarassed that they started comparing themselves to it first. Then again, this is the gop special victims unit. THey will whine and cry over just about anything.
I guess McConnell is not up to speed on the wingnut blogs or else he probably wouldn't have said this... Yep, terrorists.
btw, matt is free to donate as much of that $24M/year as he please to eithe pay down the national debt, or just make a gift to uncle sam, as are the rest of you who feel your taxes are too low: Gifts to the United States U.S. Department of the Treasury Credit Accounting Branch 3700 East-West Highway, Room 622D Hyattsville, MD 20782 --- Bureau of the Public Debt P.

Oh, I'm sure everyone is doing their part to reduce the national debt. As an example, the medically uninsured have been doing it a long time by bankrupting themselves (medical causes account for 60% of all personal bankruptcies) instead of taking state health-care resources. Or they choose to die instead. http://articles.cnn.com/2009-09-18/...melstein-debate-over-health-care?_s=PM:HEALTH
^Another symbol of tea-tardness is their inability to understand the nature of a collective action problem, due in part to their prehistoric economic mind-concepts, which is what leads to idiotic nonsequiturs like this.
It's a funny thing telling a progressive go to hell. Why bother? There's plenty enough to fix right here.
Democrats could collectively pay more taxes if they so desired. Rich people could collectively pay more taxes if they so desired. Hell, you could start a Facebook group based around paying more taxes. People don't want to pay more taxes, they want other people to pay more taxes. They are willing to go along, but ONLY if other people are forced to pay more.
Well, yeah, having taxes being a collective instead of an individual issue is fairly obvious. Some people may seem to want to take this country back to the Articles, but we had voluntary contributions by the states back then. It didn't work out very well. If you want a civil society, or a social safety net, or an America capable of dominating the rest of the world, you pay taxes, and you regulate those taxes in order to avoid chaos, and sometimes they may have to increase, God forbid. Something which basso doesn't get with his standard libertarian schipiel that taxes really need to be a voluntary process. It's one step above the Freeman on the Land movement.

And I thought basso's voluntary tax suggestion was funny. Thanks for coloring it in. It's not a f**king social networking charity, and representing it as such shows how narcissistic your politics are. I love the conservative 'the-government-can't-be-trusted-to-do-anything-efficiently' ethic telling Americans that extra tax revenue would actually be helpful, and then trying to paint everyone as selfish for not wanting to blindly contribute to the inefficient, all-consuming, debt-doomed Obamanation they portray. UH, isn't that sort of the base of your politic? Protectionist, selfish, individualist economic sovereignty?
