Question

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic U.S. presidential candidate John Edwards on Sunday said that he would raise taxes, chiefly on the wealthy, to pay for expanded healthcare coverage under a plan costing $90 billion to $120 billion a year to be unveiled on Monday.

"We'll have to raise taxes. The only way you can pay for a healthcare plan that cost anywhere from $90 to $120 billion is there has to be a revenue source," Edwards said on NBC's Meet the Press news program.

Edwards also went on to publicly declare the Bush Tax cuts will be eliminated. Any of you liberals out there still think this is an exaggeration???

Answer 1

People are always in favor of raising taxes on the 'rich', when they define 'rich' as more money than THEY make. However, the money is in the middle class, there just aren't enough 'rich' people to make any money off of.

As far as the "muncie birder" comment goes, the war in Iraq isn't what costs us money. Around 50% of the Federal budget goes to social programs.

And regarding the Chinese dumping crap in the US ... if it was worthless, Wal Mart wouldn't be the biggest retailer in the world.

Want to shrink the deficit? Simple! Tell the poor, old, and lazy people in America to stop cashing their government checks. Then we'll have plenty of cash to fight militant Islam and still money left over to eliminate the Federal Debt. Good luck on selling that idea...

Answer 2

I suppose you prefer the Bush approach. Don't tax but see if you can waste 2 trillion a year on Iraq and cripple 5000 GI a year in the process. His deficit spending is ruining the U S. Only saving grace is that the Chinese are buying the worthless U S paper as fast as Bush can print it in order to continue dumping their crap in the U S. Cute real cute.

Answer 3

authentic financial conservatives are not getting elected, the electorate choose social centers loose and only positioned human beings in place of work who promise to attain that. through fact of this no Republican President in view that Eisenhower has ever decreased the prevalent public debt, and no President of the two occasion has ever decreased government spending. to be sure that an exceptionally fiscally conservative individual to provide up something he might before everything might desire to be a place with a view to do, and that may not likely ever to ensue.

Answer 4

All the dems seem to want to raise taxes so they can spend more. Didn't you know that they know how to spend YOUR money better than you? (CREEPS)

They don't seem to remember how the economy improved when the tax cuts were in place.

I really dislike Nazi Pelosi. She's a disgrace to CA.

Answer 5

How about whats-his-name, the one with the "Obama is clean" statement, or did he drop out already?
