The Blue Board

Reagan did raise taxes several times.

But unlike Obama, he had to work with huge majorities of the opposition in Congress. Obama is whining about Republicans holding the house...but Reagan never had the gift of the supermajorities Obama did for the first two years of his Presidency.

Furthermore, no way Obama competes with Reagan or Clinton as far as true leadership and bipartisanship. He is much more talk than substance.

Im assuming if you even pay taxes you send an extra 5% to lord Obama and the IRS. Or do you donate the money to local charities? Liberals want to spend other peoples money not theirs. Just look at Bidens charitable giving of $375. In 2007 the federal government collected their largest amount of tax revenue on record with the evil Bush tax cuts. Is it about collecting revenue for the government or trying to devide the country rich vs poor in an attempt to gain votes.

You do know relationship between rates and GDP right?

18% of GDP that is slightly higher if not equal is going to GDP now is going to be more than 16% of that.

I'd love to hear how a divisive issue like slavery is similar to political affiliation.

I do not feel like going to find it,but I posted a report in one of the political threads that proved that partisanship has reached record levels (through voting record) in Congressional history.

Really love how he warned the supreme court justices to not screw up and declare the healthcare bill as unconstitutional, because it is constitutional because he says so. He says it would be unprecented for them to declare a bill passed by congress as unconsitutional.

If they shoot it down, that won't be the end of it. He will overrule the supreme court and implement it anyway. Before you say he can't do that, just who is going to stop him?

If he gets reelected he and the democrats will be coming after 401Ks, IRA and any other retirement plan outside a union pension.

You do know Clintons staff wanted to do it. Its well documented. There are billions of dollars out there where the Government could swoop in and tax say 10-15% of it.

Why is it that all of the Obama Socialist reforms are going to happen next year, or after this possible event etc...He's been in office 3 years.. What the hell is he waiting on? The greatest Socialist in US history sits in the White House...Whats the hold up with his revolution??

couldnt he have done this day one of his presidency? why wait 6-7 years of you are a socialist who wants to take all the ritch peoples money? For the life of me I cant understand how anyone can believe the Obama is a muslim, Socialist rhetoric at this point. After 3 years in office the Republicans are still pulling out videos from th 80's to prove he's a socialist. If he's a socialist, wouldnt they have information from his 3 years as the President of the US that would prove it?

So now we're told that he's waiting until his 7th year in office to start his revolution. How can anyone of sound mind believe this? As of today, Obama's greatest socialist move was healthcare reform. An idea he basically stole form the Republican he'll be running against in a few months...If Im a socialist im wondering why in the world I voted for Obama after 3 years..

This partisanship started under clinton, got ridiculous under bush and it's absolutely insane under obama.

Even the news is now a huge cluster fvck. Every single need entity had a political slant and their subscribers view it as law while only seeing the slant from the other side.

People will complain about obama spending, but what new programs has he added to the budget? Compare that to the new additions by bush.
