I?ve been around for a long time, buying anime from Junkie Joe now and then, but never joined any discussion. However, after reading Cidien?s Republican propaganda, I just couldn?t help but reply.
Cidien,
Where do you live? Let me guess. Some place middle of nowhere like Montana.
What news do you watch? Let me guess. Fox news
Have you ever watched any international news channel such as BBC news and Deutch Welle? Let me Guess. Never. Your mind is probably as narrow as Calista Flockhart?s waist size. Then again, who wouldn?t be brainwashed after watching Fox News channel for more than 24 hrs, when even CNN is biased for Bush?
Only thing you?ve recited here is the Republican propaganda Book of Campaign that Karl Rove and Dick Cheney tries to feed us. I can?t believe anyone smart enough to go to college would fall for that.
Let me quote some of Cidien?s words.
?As for Kerry, if you vote for him you're a fool, no nice way to say it. The mans called a flip-flopper for a reason. Bastard supports the war when it makes him look good and condemns it when he thinks it will make Bush look bad. Sad thing is, most people have been too stupid to realize this. At least Bush believes in something and is trying to make the world a safer place for us. Kerry believes in... um... higher taxes? Ya, that works...?
The Republican?s favorite theme is flip-flopping. Have you forgotten Bush?s flip-flopping? During debate against Gore in 1999, Bush said that nation building was not US?s responsibilities. Now he says it is. Don?t give me this bullshit about Bush being steadfast. He is a politician.
If you believe Bush went to Iraq for world peace, you are an idiot. Period.
And to the topic of tax cut, when did Kerry ever say he would raise the tax? He said he would eliminate tax cut for anyone with income over $200,000/yr that Bush gave, and Kerry would give extra tax cuts for those who make below that amount. Besides, Republican tax cuts favor the rich so much that I don?t know how anyone can support them. For instance, take a look at Bush?s tax cut on capital gains and dividends.
After finishing my tax return last March, I found out that I saved a grand total of 50 cents, thanks to this tax cuts on capital gains and dividends. How much did you save, Cidien? It?s safe to say that most people will not save a dime. Unless you own millions of dollars worth of stocks and bonds, this tax cut is useless. It is designed to reward super riches. Republicans claimed that this tax cut would increase the stock market purchase, thereby benefiting the high class. In turn, the high class would pass their gains to middle class by hiring more people and purchasing more merchandise.
Basically, they are talking about the trickle down effect. That is, feed the rich, rich gets richer, and eventually rich will share the benefit with poor. The problem with this scenario is that in reality, rich does not share their wealth with poor. As a result of this trickle down scheme, rich gets richer, and poor gets poorer. On the other hand, John Kerry advocates trickle up effect. That is, give tax cuts to poor and middle class. In turn, poor will have more money to spend, and they will spend money on merchandise that rich owns, thereby giving money to rich. In this trickle up scenario, both rich and poor gets richer.
In both scenarios, the rich gets richer. However, the rich is opposed to the trickle up effect. Why? Because their rate of gaining the stinking super rich would be faster in trickle down scenario, even if that means poor will suffer. If you think all those Bush?s tax cuts are so wonderful, get a life. It doesn?t benefit everyday folks. His tax cut on income tax probably saved me a couple hundred bucks last year while my CEO probably saved almost $1 million dollars. It is sickening. We can shove that tax cuts up the elephant? ass.
