		<description>&lt;strong&gt;DesertLover&lt;/strong&gt; (#111): I was doing you a favor by giving a brief reply rather than a detailed one.  Here&#039;s more detail.

&lt;blockquote&gt;I do not think any American objects to paying their “fair share” of taxes … it is what is being done with that money that is the primary issue at hand …&lt;/blockquote&gt;

But lots of tea party participants are protesting the principle of taxation -- &quot;taxation = tyranny&quot;.  You know that if you follow MM.

&lt;blockquote&gt;(Most will agree that the tax system is inherently “unfair” simply by its convoluted structure and ridiculous complexity through the asinine IRS tax codes …)
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Fairness and complexity are different issues that conservatives conflate.  Progressive taxation -- pay a higher percentage of the higher part of the income -- is easy to calculate by itself.  What makes taxes complicated is things like deductions, which mostly are loopholes for the rich.  Do you want to get rid of the mortgage deduction?  How about the distinction between income and capital gains?

&lt;blockquote&gt;People realize that the spending of our tax money by Congress is out of control …

It is out of control in terms of the outrageous amounts of money being spent …

It is out of control due to the fact that the people’s money is being wasted on frivolous pet projects (pork) …&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Takes a moment to collect your thoughts without a teleprompter.

Pork is a small part of the budget.  Large items are medicare and welfare (entitlements), military, interest on the (mostly Republican) debt, etc.

&lt;blockquote&gt;It is out of control because it is being spent on non-productive programs that lock people into the welfare mentality and lifestyle instead of giving them a helping hand so that they can lift themselves up into a more productive position in American society …&lt;/blockquote&gt;

OK, a real opinion.  Problem is Americans as a nation disagree.  A large majority of us support welfare.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Stopping these spending atrocities are a driving force behind the “tea party” movement … not just the tax rates …&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Put a Republican in the White House and the tea parties would vanish overnight regardless of spending.</description>

		<description>lgm, Clinton did not have a balanced budget. He had the illusion of one, in which ironically after down sizing the military in all asspect goverment spending nearly doubled. He had a &quot;balanced&quot; budget by raising inflation and in the short term the sell of Goverment surplus (Military, land, cold war era bases, etc) helped boost the coffers, however by his later and undeserved 2nd term the effects of his policy were shown. 

The fact is this problem was brewing ever since the &quot;American Dream&quot;Tm*  of the 1950&#039;s, all Americans must have a house and a car port, and the newest TV or car. Consumerisim&#039;s fatal flaw is there is but so much that can be consumed (has nothing to do with population, but rather lax management). This crash is not yet done, and Obama seems you can fix it with what made it.

The man is not that smart, a good con man, and predator yes, smart no. What goes up, must come down. People got greedy and selfish, jobs go overseas so not to pay Americans and keep more for themselves. Some Americans want change, just as long as they don&#039;t have to do it, or that they agree with it, when the problem is not goverment, but rather its close to home and in each and every one of us.</description>

		<description>Yeah, those Tea Parties are really great.

Here&#039;s the website of the guy running the one in Pensecola: http://209.85.173.132/search?q=cache:gCjHuhRVR3gJ:www.meetthetruth.com/+meetthetruth.org&amp;cd=1&amp;hl=en&amp;ct=clnk

Wait &#039;til the media gets ahold of this. It confirms every stereotype they hold about anyone on the right. The Truthers and Flat Earthers flocking around this moron are going to be front and center in every news report on the event.

Congratulations on turning what might have been a useful political tool into a carnival freak show.</description>
