Yes. I was countering reg's claim that people with a safety net don't take risks because they don't need to. We see rich people (businessmen such as Romney) taking risks all the time, despite the fact that they could just sit back and be rich.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

It all comes out to how much total tax you pay. For those who believe in a progressive income tax there is no problem with taxing investment income as it just increases the total tax of those with high incomes. It really doesn't matter how you increase the tax for those with high incomes.Originally posted by Jaguar View PostI drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

I'm really amused that the people who are most infuriated with the current deficit are the people who care the least about how little tax people who can afford to pay tax actually pay."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Why not do both, because just doing one or the other isn't going the fix the deficit."My nation is the world, and my religion is to do good." --Thomas Paine

Guynemer thinks opposition to taxes is nothing but stinginess, and not the fact that taxes dampen economic growth.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Last I checked, the US' economic growth outpaced Canada's...except our government isn't ridiculously in debt, doesn't carry obscene deficits, and Canadians are healthier and happier."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Even a die hard liberal must admit that government will inevitably grow if left to its own devices, as people in any given department will always want more money for whatever their branch does - it's not even wrong of them, really; it's their job to advocate for their cause. Occasionally you must reduce the programs that exist, because creep must occur, and their will be too much spending on some programs.
Honestly, the simplest solution might be to have a twenty year limit on ANY spending, and require a full reconsideration of all budget items from scratch every twenty years or so. But that would require actual work on the part of our congressmen and women =/<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

I doubt it would work. We've seen what happens when Congress sets deadlines for itself. It finds a way around them.Originally posted by snoopy369 View PostIf there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?
