dan_iv 0 #3 December 22, 2007 I'm definitely NOT a teenager, but none the less I thought the ad was pretty funny. Will it get me to consider supporting Huckabee more than I already have, NO... but who doesn't need some entertainment once and a while... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheAnvil 0 #9 December 22, 2007 Would Huckabee make a good pres? Dunno. Better than some and worse than others. Bill Richardson, as much as I disagree with many of his positions, is probably one of the best out there. He'll never make the ticket. In today's environs, it's who you're voting against more than anything else. Huckabee's ad is fantastic. It appeals to some people who are idiots, but resonates with others who are not. Is it any different than an ad by a democrat with racist/bigot Jack$on or $harpton appealing to idiots who identify themselves by their race stating that Republican candidate X wants to keep people of this/that race from succeeding in life? Not really. Far more classy, truth be told. Huckabee has his faults, but so do other candidates. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

quade 4 #13 December 23, 2007 QuoteQuoteOK Chuck, I'm votin' for Huck. Anyone that thinks his proposal to eliminate the IRS makes any sense has to be delusional. I wasn't aware Huckabee wanted to eliminate the IRS. Are you perhaps thinking of Ron Paul? Huckabee's main "issue" is he's about as much aligned with the religious right as can be possible, what with him being a former preacher and president of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention. One of the scarier things about Huckabee is his notion that church and state should NOT be separate.

asmund 0 #18 December 23, 2007 Tax Hike Huckabee's plan is to replace the IRS, and all income tax, with a new system of "Value Added Tax", or essentially a sales tax on all new purchaes/sales of new products. The rate is being argued, between 23% and 30%. The argument being that when businesses and production companies don't have to pay higher wages to allow for employers to pay income tax, the "embedded tax" portion of the cost in consumer products will fall, and products will become cheaper to buy, while the consumer also have more excess income to buy it with. Such a tax would also greatly improve living conditions for poor and middle class people who don't need to buy new products, and who would like to save their money instead of having a high consumption of retail products. But to think corporate would lower their prices, is a bit naive in my thinking. I don't think union wages would be lowered to compensate for the lack of income tax, but non-union workers (less permanent employment) would get less wages because such employers rely on high turnover to benefit their margins. So retail prices would remain the same, at least on more expensive products, and marginal workers wouldn't note any benefit. I think Ron Pauls solution is better: rely on corporate tax for the betterment of the union, but cut all government spending that isn't constitutional. Getting the government down in size before it collapses brutally, is the only way to avoid the collapse of the dollar.I like subway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are these people insane?The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Should we keep shoveling money into the gaping maw of the Government, and expect something different? History has shown that the greatest things that came out of America came from its people, not from the government. In other words, the People of America can form a more perfect Union, & do all the other things expressed in the Constitution, when they are NOT led around by the nose by a bloated government that thinks it's God.

I don't think the US involved itself in many $Trillion wars in 1913. Nor did it match the entire rest of the world in defense spending in 1913....
