I believe you missed my point and I will try to state it more clearly. Democrats are wholly consistent in that they all say they wish to cut taxes for the middle class and raise taxes on the rich. They are lying. What they really want -- again, they are wholly consistent in this -- is to raise taxes to the point of complete confiscation of all income and the distribution of "benefits" that were once purchased freely with the income they confiscated. To put it bluntly, Democrats lie, steal, and enslave. That's just what they do.

We need to repeal the 16th amendment and take the power of direct taxation away from them

Well, we’ve got the same basic ideas. So our argument is probably more a matter of semantics.

I would argue that when they demand tax cuts for the middle class, and tax hikes for “the rich,” they are in fact being inconsistent.

If tax cuts for the rich hike the deficit, then so do tax cuts for everybody else. And if they were actually “consistent,” then they would either support tax cuts across the board, or tax increases across the board (yes, that means you, poor and homeless dude).

In point of fact, if the Democrats are actually worried about “deficits,” and if they actually believe that tax cuts create deficits, then they should demand tax increases across the board.

Otherwise they AREN’T being consistent at all. At least, not in the sense that I am describing.
