The Right is Wrong
Why are Cons so stuck on the idea that paying income and property taxes is solely to support lazy?
peoplethat won't work. Our tax money goes for other things besides public aid, welfare, food stamps, etc. Why not focus on the good that comes from tax dollars rather than the bad? I mean you cons love the military right? How about the FDA? The TSA? There must be SOME government programs you like...try to focus on those. Whining about how single moms in the ghetto with drug addictions get free food for their kids isn't going to make paying taxes go away.

Isn't that the homeowners responsibility?
4 AnswersUnited States1 decade agoPolice got a key to my apartment and went in when I wasn't home how is this legal?
Apparently someone called them anonymously & said I was being held in my apartment against my will. I wasn't home at the time but my landlord gave them a key & they went into my apartment & found nothing. I have nothing to hide but I am very uncomfortable that police can just enter my apartment any time they like. Is this legal?
8 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoSo Sarah Palin is now saying she can beat Obama in 2012?
Karl Rove said he doesn't think she is fit to lead. I think the reason a lot of Republicans didn't vote for McCain is because of Sarah Palin's lack of intellect and her inability to answer important questions that were asked to her during the interviews and the debates leading up to the 2008 election. I really didn't think that she would run. She has earned millions with speaking engagements and the sale of her book. She doesn't like hard work, as evidenced with her resignation as Governor of Alaska. Do you believe she is electable? Do you believe she is fit to lead our nation? Would you really want her as your POTUS??
21 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoDo you think we should do away with pensions for former Presidents?
Tax payers currently pay a $200,000 yearly pension to former Presidents. There was a time when this was necessary, but now former Presidents, such as Bill Clinton and George W Bush can write books and give speeches and make millions. When Obama is out of office he will surely do the same. So shouldn't we stop paying them yearly pensions??
6 AnswersElections1 decade agoHas anyone here ever met a business owner that went out of business due to taxes?
I have never met a person who actually claimed that excessive taxation was the reason his/her business failed, however this is a common claim among Republican / Conservative types on Y/A!
Most people that I have met that owned their own business usually say things like, lack of sales or mis-management or even a theiving partner caused their businesses to fail.
What do you think?
18 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhat do you think caused the current economic crisis?
Some people say it all started when Bill Clinton signed the NAFTA into law. Others say it started under Bush when the unemployment rates soared as jobs were shipped overseas and the housing market tanked. Another group says it's all because of Obama. What do you think?
12 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoIf the Democrats are Progressives then doesn't that make Republicans Regressive?
And isn't being progressive better than being regressive in anything?
15 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhy does the Right refer to Obama is "the messiah?"?
You never hear liberals call him "the messiah." Most liberals are agnostic at best. Shouldn't you right-wingers find a more appropriate derogaroty comment. Or is this just your sanitized version of the "N" word?
7 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoDo you think prostituiton should be legal? Do you think making it legal would reduce the need for welfare?
Do you think that the only reason it's illegal is because if it were legal more women would do it and women would make WAY more money than men? Because I think it's a man's world and if men got their period tampons would be free.
