  There will have to be some sort of tax to pay for the reckless Bush years of pork spending and the Iraq war.

  It should simply be the “Bush Tax” that ultimately people not yet conceived shall have to pay.

• 2. Magnum Serpentine  |  December 10th, 2007 at 4:03 pm

  Sounds good to me. Those who do not have kids will not have to pay. But expect to pay something for the disastrous bush war in Iraq.

• 3. Bigfoot  |  December 10th, 2007 at 4:30 pm

  Generally speaking, the left supports the death tax, so they’ll probably have no problem with a birth tax, either.

• 4. SEW  |  December 10th, 2007 at 5:00 pm

  Bigfoot,
  They only are for the taxes as long as it doesn’t apply to them. They want someone else to pay. All the Dems want higher taxes, none pay voluntarily. They want the death tax, but inherit their fortunes and sheild it again upon their deaths even when a law is there to tax it.

  I was just reading the comments about the ABC story of an alleged rape by Halliburton employees. 90% of 300 plus posts are by the loons, already lynching Bush, Cheney and the ever evil Halliburton for this alleged rape as reported by ABC. When will the Kool Aid supply run dry?

  o/t But abc news reports that CIA interorgator John Kiriakou who participated in Abu Z’s interorgation says that waterboarding is torture and that the US should not use it, but he is conflicted saying that it worked with Abu Z.

  Fascinating.

  If all of the liberals in America would voluntarily send in just $100, all of our problems would be resolved. Why wont the liberals do that?

  Why wont you help your fellow Americans? We know you wont lift a finger for citizens in other countries, but why wont you help other Americans?

  Just $100, send it in today!!!

• 7. JUDGE NAUGHT  |  December 10th, 2007 at 6:11 pm

  I’ve already sent in my $100, X 1000! I have to subsidise you pennyless conservatives who want everything for free. That’s the solution for all problems financial, vote for me and I’ll make everthing free! that’s why republicans win- they promise to cut taxes, while doubling outlays. That’s why we’ll be bailing out the banking system again, because the CEO,s need their 150 million payout for only losing 8 billion dollars. And they have to pay the burdensome tax rate of %15. I REALLY feel the need to send another $100 because that will solve the problem and we can spend even more!

• 8. neocon  |  December 10th, 2007 at 6:27 pm

  Judge,

  Do you realize that your Democratic Congress has increased the already high spending in the ‘08 budget? So tell me more about spending, plleeeaaasssse.

  House Democratic leaders could complete work as soon as Monday on a half-trillion-dollar spending package that will include billions of dollars for the war effort in Iraq without the timelines for the withdrawal of combat forces that President Bush has refused to accept, House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) said yesterday.

  In a complicated deal over the war funds, Democrats will include about $11 billion more in domestic spending than Bush has requested,….If the bargain were to become law,…..it would be the clearest instance yet of the president bowing to a Democratic demand for more money for domestic priorities, an increase that he had promised to reject.

  I dunno, Bigfoot–all these babies being born for tax purposes conflicts with PP and NARAL. Is the left gonna support birth over abortion?

• 10. JUDGE NAUGHT  |  December 10th, 2007 at 7:18 pm

  I know, the evil Democrats have been in power for the last 12 years, and are REALLY responsible for the G.B. 10 trillion debt. Don’t worry though, Pres, Bush will be fiscally responsible and veto everything unless he gets everything he wants. (He did submit a 3 trillion dollar budget this year though, maybe he really is a liberal and you can’t believe it because he has an “R” in front of his name, and that stands for Responsible?)

• 11. keef--Not Cruisin--Yet!!!  |  December 10th, 2007 at 7:25 pm

  Judge Knothead,

  Maybe you’re really a crackhead, because you’re far from original. Newsflash for ya, dopehead–Bush ain’t on the ‘08 ballot…

• 12. JUDGE NAUGHT  |  December 10th, 2007 at 7:33 pm

  That’s what I love about this site- the above average intellect, the astute debates, and the last class range of insults. I’m a crackhead because of? Oh, I see, you can’t debate. I won.t even bother with the “insult”, you do yourself justice. Care to try an actual debate? I know you could if you had to. PEBKAM.

• 13. FmrMarine  |  December 10th, 2007 at 7:36 pm

  Hmmmm
  The the deficit has been cut by MORE that 50% as a result of the Bush tax cuts and the resulting roaring economy.
  The cuts have tripled tax revenues, EVEN while fighting an expensive world wide war against radical islam.

• 14. FmrMarine  |  December 10th, 2007 at 7:41 pm

  You can thank the 10 trillion to the “great society” ,
  social security (= ponzi scheme), medicaid/medicare, for 20,000,000 NON contributing illegals sucking off it.
  all marxist = democRAT schemes to keep voters sucking at the teat of big brother.

• 15. TiredofLibBullShit  |  December 10th, 2007 at 7:49 pm

  This is exactly what the global warming crowd wants to impose on productive nations, while the “poor” nations get the pass. Pretty much what the welfare system does here. Take from the “haves” and give to the “have-nots” - You know “from each according to his means, to each according to his needs.” All enforced by the power of government. Marxism at is worst.

  If that system of government has failed everywhere it has been tried (USSR, CUBA, NORTH KOREA, CHINA (if it wasn’t for Bill Clinton exploiting the cheap labor (ironic since this goes against the principles of communism)), WHY ARE THE LIBS TRYING TO FORCE IT ON US?

• 16. neocon  |  December 10th, 2007 at 7:51 pm

  Judge,

  You are only one of many half-bright liberals to come to this forum and debate economics. And you will wind up embarrasing yourself just like the others.

  It amazes me that liberals still continue to lecture conservatives on economics when their policies are proven failures. Let’s run back to the Jimmah Carter days of misery indexes.

• 17. Timbo  |  December 10th, 2007 at 8:37 pm

  So who is going to pay the $5,000 tax and $800 annual fee for someone on welfare ??????

• 18. William Teach  |  December 10th, 2007 at 9:17 pm

  Gotta love the liberals and their complete inability to address the actual subject of the post without going down BDS Deflection Lane.

• 19. phnx  |  December 10th, 2007 at 10:55 pm

  BDS is morphing into BDO, Bush Derangement Obsession, for some of these moonbats. No comment can be made without blaming President Bush for something.

• 20. JUDGE NAUGHT  |  December 11th, 2007 at 1:55 am

  I understand how “nut jobs” like me who don’t sing in the choir upset you. However, facts are difficult things. Here’s one or two we can agree on. The dollar is weak. Oil is over $90 a barrel. The national debt is 9.8 trillion. We won the war a long time ago. They still don’t like us,and never will. Someone, sometime is going to have to face reality, the bill will come due. David Walker, (Comptroller General), is the scariest person on C-SPAN.We now pay about 398 billion per year in interest, over 1 billion a day, 365 days a year. Not touching the principle. Dubai just loaned Citibank 7 billion @ %11. I could go on, the point being we need to stop blaming each other when we all are to blame. We all want to cut spending, but not on my “special interest”. China is in control of our manufacturing, I hear they even make our army boots. Why? You know why, it’s slave labor. So I embarass myself? Do you think this is a good thing? A race to the bottom. Be reasonable and America will rise up and stop giving away the land of plenty untill we are fighting each other for the last American job! Am I the crazy one, or are you just a little nutty too?

• 21. keef--Not Cruisin--Yet!!!  |  December 11th, 2007 at 5:34 am

  I understand how “nut jobs” like me who don’t sing in the choir upset you.

  No, Judge Knothead–nutjobs such as yourself, who trot out the same old redundant talking points, are just tiresome. It’s got nothing to do with debating you. You’re not here for debate; you’re here because you hate all things GOP, especially all things Bush. So why, pray tell, should I waste my time with you?

  I won.t even bother with the “insult”, you do yourself justice. Care to try an actual debate? I know you could if you had to. PEBKAM.

  Why the period in “won’t,” the quotation marks around “insult,” and the comma, when a semicolon would be correct? This is another reason I choose not to debate you–you lack sufficient writing skills. IOW, you’re a dumbass. A lemming-troll dumbass.

  Sorry, I don’t know what PEBKAM means. Have anice day, PAMF…

• 22. keef--Not Cruisin--Yet!!!  |  December 11th, 2007 at 5:39 am

  Let’s run back to the Jimmah Carter days of misery indexes.

  neocon, I prefer to harken back to the LBJ Great Society era. We’ve spent what, 11 trillion on the War on Poverty? And the troll pukes whine about the money spent on national securtiy? The War on Poverty is lost; it’s time to pull out.

  btw, Knothead, you can dispense with the defecit numbers. The national debt has been there forever; it didn’t just appear when Bush became “emperor.”

  And I like those cheap Chinese goods–I buy them at Wal*Mart all the time…

  What is apparently also difficult for you is to comment on the actual substance of this post, rather then deflecting away into the BDO cosmos.

• 24. rockville  |  December 11th, 2007 at 1:29 pm

  I think that it is only far to have parents pay for their kids up front. They are using resources and that burden has been pushed on the individuals that do not have kids.

  Those without kids pay the taxes and do not receive any kind of taxbreak.

• 25. CeCe  |  December 11th, 2007 at 1:56 pm

  rockville,

  Are you for tuition tax credits for those who do not make use of the public school system? Afterall, they are paying for a system they derive no benefit from.

  Parents pay for the resources their children use as they raise them. Are we going to try to calculate the “carbon footprint” of singles and those with only one or two children who have mansions or use their excess income to travel about the world or who conspicuously consume? This is an absolutely asinine idea and I am frankly surprised that this was not proposed by the left a long time ago.

• 26. JUDGE NAUGHT  |  December 12th, 2007 at 6:21 pm

  Hey Keifer. Grate catch on the semi-colon. I new i would finally find a good diction nazi! No really just kidding! The reason I put ” around insults is baecuse the insults on this site are so sub par. Just sayin’… but come on! DUMBASS? KNOTTHEAD? What are you, in the fourth grade? Take a break, have a cold one- I just like a good discussion, I’m not trying to threaten your ego! So again, some facts, weak dollar, high oil prices, BTW the DEBT is not the DEFECIT. When President Bush took over, the national debt was around 7.1 trillion. Now the debt ceiling is at 9.89 trillion. Can you address the issue of what program cuts would you make knowing defense and interest are fixed? Looking forward to an in depth response. Really!
