Read your take on the SOU, also read your platform. I wish many of the things you expressed would have come to pass like
In 2004, at his acceptance speech at the the Republican National Convention,he hinted toward a limited government, including Social Security and Tax Reform. Here we are a year and a half later, listening to a State of the Union address that should have touted a recently passed Tax Reform Bill, and a recently debated or passed Social Security reform bill and
A dramatic reduction in the Federal Budget, not simply a reduction in the rate of growth.I believe in smaller government, less taxes, less spending, less regulation.
Regarding your platform an effort to eliminate all Federal Income Taxes under Title 26 of the United States Code., For me, baby steps would be better for a start, I think if you abolished W-2 wage income tax withholding, making everyone pay quarterly estimated tax payments like small business owners, people would realize just how much they are paying in Federal Income tax. I call this the W-2 trap. Everyone looks forward to a refund, rather than what they are actually paying in taxes (the tax withholding tables are setup to withhold more income tax than will normally be due, increasing the likelyhood of a refund.)
I see nothing outrageous about your criticism of the SOU, but then again, I don't just seek out opinions that agree with my own
I suspect you do. It has always been my experience that anyone who has to brag about "Being open minded" is lying to themselves. I suspect the only reason you do not mind the critic is because you agree with it. Suggest for the Whine all the Time Choir. Instead of wasting our time with your endless whining, just don't watch the speech. We really are NOT waiting breathlessly to hear the reaction of the Whine all the Time Crowd to every political event. It is perfectly acceptable for you all to just wander back to Druggies Unglued instead of wasting our time posting your ignornace
