Ever since democracy was instated in the Western world there have been political parties, such as the Nazis and the BNP, that pose a threat to civilisation as a whole through their racist and fascist views. Should the government be able to ban these parties (attacking free-speech, creating a controlled society), or let them exist (possibly creating a racist society)? It seems to me that both options could pose as a danger to democracy. Additionally, is it possibly for a society to be neither racist nor controlled?

I have been reported a few times, and not for any question where I had a true violation. I have answered several of them, and was never reported. I was wondering why is it, that when being polite and respectful of the opinions of others, they report you anyway for disagreeing with them? Are they that shallow and narrow minded? It is being done by both conservatives and liberals, and all I want to know is why. I was raised to respect the opinions of others. I don't report people unless they use offensive language or make a statement, not ask a question. Why do others on here report people? I look forward to seeing the answers.

Many people advocate a flat tax which seems fair on the face of it, but ignores a crucial fact: the poorer you are, the greater the percentage of your income that goes to survival needs like food, shelter, clothing, transportation, utilities, etc, and the less income you have available for play, investment, savings, or taxes.

This is why there is an earned income tax credit--some people make so little that it doesn't cover the essentials.

I don't think people should be penalized for being successful. If your income rises, your take home pay should rise too. But that can still happen with a system based on ability to pay.

For the wealthiest, changes in tax rate don't crimp their standard of living but rather how many generations of their descendants can survive without working or even making investment decisions for themselves.

I'm not sure why anyone should be outraged that the children of the children of the children of Paris Hilton might have to get a job.

We see far to often, people demeaning supporters of the other political party, while they are trying to bring them to their way of thinking.

Does anyone really think that works ?

And all agency workers should be paid a minimum of £50.00 per shift, this is for the time spent travelling to and from a job,
aswell as for all the work agencies usually expect in a short period of time. Particularly in Britain. Agency work is slave labour and cheap labour for the goverment. what do you think?

Really, people seem to hate their political opposition so much that they're willing to say any crazy thing about them. Like all the crazy things people say about Bush, or the Clintons. Can't we just agree to disagree and try to find common ground?

impression that it's a code word of some sort. It seems to be used in a very subjective context (e.g., fair tax) and leaves me wondering just what they mean. Can anyone explain it?

Clinton dies and of course goes straight to hell. When he gets there the Devil greets him and offers him three ways to spend eternity. They go to the first door and the Devil shows him Newt Gingrich, hanging from the ceiling with fire under him. Bill says "Oh no! That’s not how I want to spend all eternity......." They go to the second door. The Devil shows him Rush Limbaugh chained to the wall being tortured. Bill says "Oh no! Not for me!"

They go to the third door. Behind it is Ken Starr, chained to the wall with Monica Lewinsky on her knees giving him a BJ. Bill thinks and decides, "Hmmm, looks okay to me. I’ll take it." The Devil then says, "Good. Hey Monica, you’ve been replaced

I find disgusting that in America, founded by Euro values/culture, is experiencing this reverse assimilation. IMO the only people of Hispanic orgin that have a right to say anything is the Spaniards and Cubans. Since the Spaniards (Queen Isabella) financed Columbus because she was the only European ruler to believe the world was round and take a risk with Columbus. Too bad Spaniards only make up 2% of the Hispanic/Latino population in the US!!! Spaniards and Cubans are the only Hispanics that don't leech off the government. They are almost all small business owners, 1 to 2 kids MAX, college-educated, support capitalism, believe in America's ways and values AND THEY ALL SPEAK ENGLISH WITH PRIDE!!!!!

Will Americans soon need to learn Spanish to survive?

This is what people say who are truly ignorant of tax law, which is sad to say, most people.

FACT: In 2001, I got my refund and many other people received a refund check as well.

FACT: Bush did lower the tax rates, but it is not that simple. If you really take a look and understand what happened, there were many changes in the tax law that were really aimed at the rich. It was a tax cut disguised to target the very wealthy. Not too many people would know that and most would look on the surface and say "The Republicans lowered the tax rates." Its really clever how they do it, but they did it.

The most obvious one (there are many) is his lowering of the capital gains and dividends tax rates. Who is this really going to impact? A family of making $30,000, very little.

It will benefit people who are generating very large amounts of dividends and capital gains.

I only know this because I am an accountant in the industry. Ask a CPA, they'll explain it.
