They are blaming past presidents for what Bush does?

Question

Facts are facts. they are neither Republican, Democrat nor a religious denomination. Facts are the plain simple truth. The following are some disturbing facts.
Fact: Bush and his administration used deceptions to plunge us into a seemingly unnececessary and endless war with Iraq.
that is costing billions of dollars and thousands of lives.
Facts: a large percentage of the USA is without healthcare yet Bush has promised health care to any and all Iraq citizens. but mention universal healthcare to our Republican congress and they call it socialized medicine and vote it down. Go figure?
Facts: Bush and the republican congress are destroying the middleclass by giving tax breaks to the very rich, out-souring the good paying jobs to foreign countries voting against minimum wages and making higher education unaffordable for the masses
Only for the rich. The rich are getting richer at the expense of the poor. Do you think these problems are more inportant?

Listen people Iraq didn't do 9/11

Answer 1

The only more important problem that you failed to mention was global warming. which could in time make the earth uninhabitable. (the bush admin denies its exisance) btw did anyone read the Bizaro comic this morning. and yes i think the issues are very important,

Answer 2

Your "facts" are subject to serious question.

*The war with Iraq was due to continual refusal to comply with UN regulations. You are majoring on the minor of mass destruction weaponry which was one of many reasons for going to war. Incidently, recently there has been evidence come to light that Hussein did have mass destruction weapons that were most likely moved to another country before we entered. This has been widely communicated but largely ignored by democrats.

Clinton has continually agreed that Iraq was non-compliant and even bombed Iraq in his own right. There is no reason to believe that Clinton would not have gone to war for exactly the same reasons if he had been allowed to continue. Of course then you would be all for it because a democrat suggested it.

*The percentages of those without healthcare that you mention are largely comprised of illegal immigrants and thier many children. Universal healthcare is a socialist idea tried by the Soviet Union. It is still the healthcare system in Russia and has been proven a dismal failure. The government decides whether the treatment you need is good according to your length of life, ability to survive, and ability to be successful. I don't want someone deciding whether I should have a heart transplant due to my age or possible death due to other issues. If I need one I should get one, no discussion.

*I am an accountant and need to let you know that all of the tax cuts that have been given are for the middle-class. The very rich do not receive tax cuts because they are not wage earners. Although over 70% of tax payers are wage earners, wage earners only pay a little over 30% of the total taxes paid. The very rich have businesses and other means of income that are not subject to reduction of IRS wage percentages. There have been many additional cuts provided to all citizens for educational success, home ownership, and family values (having children and being married) If we were to go to a flat or fair tax you would pay more in taxes than you do now and the very rich would pay the same or less. Go pick up a federal taxation textbook and get some education so that when those with alterior motives speak about taxes you can know the truth and not be deceived.

It is expensive to live, no doubting that, but incomes try to follow the standard of living and a free market economy balances itself. For Democrats to attempt to make the government responsible for every facet of our lives from wages, to health care, to belief systems is an exact replica of socialism and communism. That way doesn't work, do you really want to plunge America down the same path as Russia or China?

Answer 3

the undertaking President Bush has had the final 12 months or 2 is that considering that he's become so maligned, that is swaying his judgements. he's making an attempt to no longer be hated anymore than he's. consequently the bailout kit. If he have been to stand up and say "No, enable the failed agencies bypass down in flames like they could be." then human beings may well be all up in hands calling him a fascist and destroying the financial equipment. See, he's making an attempt to attraction moderates. McCain did the comparable element. all of us be attentive to that conservatives basically may well be adversarial to the bailout, although the conservative inhabitants as an entire isn't working for president. McCain (stupidly i might upload) tried working in this reasonable front, attempting to seem no longer thoroughly suitable-wing and it lost him a brilliant number of conservative voters he oftentimes might've gotten. So yeah on an identical time as many democrats are certainly susceptible to patronize socialism, republicans will attempt to appear like they are to objective and benefit help.

Answer 4

Keep doing those drugs...your memory is as bad as your premise.

There wasnt a country on the face of the Earth that didnt have some sort of "intelligence" of Iraq without the possibility of weapons. Everybody suspected but nobody knew, so get your mind out of the political skew.

I dont know how to find out, but I seriously doubt Iraq had an insurance policy before...even if they did- are you suggesting those people should suffer? You must be one of those compassionate Democrats I keep hearing about.

This last "fact" is so silly...the "middle-class" is a farce and most Americans are NOT middle-class. What's absurd to me is that wages are going up, prices are going up, but the number for what is considered poverty has not changed but only now that the Democrats are not the majority are these things an issue...

Answer 5

Facts are facts, but you never presented any facts, only lies distortions, and slanted opinions. You'd earn a lot more respect around here if you employed a bit more intellectual honesty.

Fact: The United Stated attacked Iraq and removed Saddam Hussein as it's leader.

Analysis: The United States deposed Saddam Hussein because virtually everyone believed his government had stockpiles of WMDs, and that he might sell them to terrorists. It is NOT TRUE the the Bush administration deliberately deceived anyone.

Fact: 100% of the U.S. population has access to heathcare. 3% of the U.S. population wants health INSURANCE but can't afford it.

Analysis: Public hospitals and emergency rooms are required by law to treat people regardless of their ability to pay. In addition, virtually all drug companies have programs that subsidize the cost of medicine for people who can't afford it. Beyond that though, one must recognize that there is no RIGHT to heathcare, any more than there is a RIGHT to food.

Fact: Marginal tax RATES were reduced for all taxpayers.

Analysis: The top 1% pay 33% of all income taxes. The top 50% pay 97% of all income taxes. OF COURSE tax cuts put more dollars in the pockets of the rich, they're the only ones paying most of it out in the first place! And let's be clear about something. A tax cut doesn't "give" anything to anyone. A tax cut allows people to keep money they have already worked for and EARNED. Everyone has the opportunity to create new wealth. Some people are just better at it than others.

Fact: Some American companies are outsourcing jobs. Some foreign companies are In-sourcing jobs INTO the U.S. There are more in-sourced jobs than outsourced jobs.

Analysis: The government does NOT outsource jobs, companies do. Most of the jobs being outsourced are coming from industries that are only marginally profitable. If those businesses were not so burdened with high taxes, there would be less incentive to send jobs overseas.

Fact: Congress has chosen to not INCREASE the national minimum wage.

Analysis: No one has proposed eliminating the minimum wage. Only 3% of the workforce are paid the minimum wage, 97% earn more. Minimum wage is typically paid for entry level positions that are open to people with no specialized skills and no experience. It is not meant to be a "living wage" or a salary one stays at for a lifetime, it is simply a floor to prevent gross abuse by dishonest employers. The only way to earn a high salary is to produce value for your employer in excess of the amount you wish to earn. This is true even for the self-employed. If the work performed is of little value, the worker will be paid a low wage. If the employer is forced to pay a wage that is too high, that employer will simply eliminate the job.

Final note: The rich get richer because they create more wealth. The rich do not get richer at the expense of anyone. I suspect you're one of these economic Luddites who confuse currency with wealth.

The population of the United States on April 1, 2000 was 281,421,906. The total amount of U.S. currency in circulation that year was $500 billion, but two thirds of that was/is held overseas, so that left $167 billion available in the United States. A little division tells us that there's 593 dollars and 42 cents for every man, woman, and child in the country.

I have heard people argue that if some people are poor, it can only be that they were cheated out of their money by some nasty rich person. Well, if cash and wealth were one and the same, we'd be a pretty poor nation, wouldn't we? Cash is just another commodity, like cows, or batteries. We use it as a medium of exchange only because it was designed for that purpose, and is therefore extremely convenient in that role. Cash is the grease that keeps the wheels of the economy turning. Not enough, and things slow down. Too much, and the economy runs "too fast". Here's an even stronger example:

The Federal Government collected $1,825 billion in taxes for fiscal year 2000. That means Uncle Sam collected every single dollar in the country eleven times over, in just one year! How is it then, that we're not all broke?

The answer of course, is that we create NEW wealth, and we do it all the time! The government even keeps track of this for us: You hear it on the news from time to time. It's the Gross Domestic Product. (GDP) The GDP is defined as "The total market value of all final goods and services produced in a country in a given year." For the U.S. in 2000 The GDP was 42,756 billion. That's $152,157 each.If someone doesn't have as much as they'd like, they should be out there creating more themselves, not whining that they deserve a share of someone else's.

EDIT: Agreed. Iraq didn't attack us on 9/11, just like Italy didn't attack Pearl Harbor in 1941. This is not a war against al Qeada, this is a war on TERROR. All terrorists and terrorist sympathizers are the target, NOT just those who have already attacked us directly.

Answer 6

Yeah I don't hear any suggestions from the Democrats either. They sit back and attack the Republicans not because they want to solve the problem. They do it to discredit the other side in hopes of getting more votes. Both sides aren't effectively serving the people who voted for them and are really a disappointment I think. You are right to want something done. Just don't expect too much from either side of the fence because they are working apart instead of together.

Answer 7

are you of low intelligence?

Fact: Saddam had to go, that's one fascist friend less for the democrats

Fact: socialized medicine has never worked anywhere and if run by the government inevitably ends in spiralling costs, just ask them in Tennessee where they tried this, it soon consumed most of their budget

Fact: the tax breaks have been relatively most beneficial to the middle class (despite fascist democrat lying campaign). And if you increase minimum wage it becomes MORE EXPENSIVE to hire American worker and even more jobs would be exported, the minimum wage should go down, not up.

Fact: there is no conspiracy by the rich to make the poor poorer, stop believing the lies of the left wing extremist democrap party

Answer 8

Fact: most Iraq building is being done by Haliburton w/o competitive bidding.
Fact: Same as above for Katrina rebuilding
Fact:bush is witholding New Orleans rebuilding money to discourage people from returing, so the gov't can take over the property and build wealthy homes
Fact: Bush destroyed in 6 years this country's credability, economy, and spirit

Answer 9

Fact: Most Democrats would rather spout the party line than think or research for themselves.

Fact: Bush had to clean up Clinton's mess. That's why we are having a war, and why we have to pay to rebuild the military on the fly.

Fact: Clinton used most of our stock of cruise missiles to sidestep questions about a certain blue dress.

Fact: Muslims don't CARE who is in charge of America. They just want us DEAD.

Answer 10

Fact: Clinton was asked if we should capture Bin Laden SEVERAL times, and declined to do so.

Fact: THOUSANDS OF AMERICAN CIVILIANS WERE KILLED IN THE TWIN TOWERS - ARE WE SUPPOSED TO WAIT UNTIL THEY HAVE THE CHANCE TO DO THAT AGAIN????

Yes, social issues are important to me - but study Maslow's theory - SAFETY is FIRST.
