Coupon clipping? My background is that I am a handicapped man who became successful self-made businessman. Yeah, I make quite a bit more than 250K and I am proud of every dollar of it. I do not want the government taking my money to give to the "more deserving." No one deserves my money more than I do.
Since when does a Republican not care about tax increases? You may have been a Republican at one time but you seem to be working for Giannoulias now. You don't even deny it.
Labno my eye. You know very well he has no chance whatsoever.
I am a minor league amputee. It does not make me one bit more or one bit less correct in my views or deserving as a human being. The movement has cut your marginal taxes by nearly two thirds and you have a life to enjoy it which is more than 50 million slaughtered babies can say. Try to maintain a little dignity and to remember that it is NOT all about you and your bankbook. If Nancyboy is defeated, I will be proud of that fact and that is justifiable Republican and conservative pride. If we are going to have babykilling, gungrabbing, marriage destroying slime in the US Senate, by all means let it be Demonrat slime. I never urged anyone to vote for Labno although that would certainly be better than voting for Nancyboy. Best is to destroy (not merely defeat) Nancyboy.
Again, I am awaiting your conservative resume. I guess I wait in vain.
Try to see your taxes held in check or lowered without the votes of SOCIAL ISSUE conservatives or conservatives, for short. What percentage of the people who vote in this country do you suppose actually give a rat's patoot whether your taxes are raised by 4.6% on that income above $250,000. Social issue conservatives will generally support restraint on your taxes but, frankly, you should be honest enough to recognize that the group of big earners to whom you belong constitutes an albatross politically and our support of your desires on taxes costs us big time with the general electorate. Money is only money and in politics it is not as valuable as votes.
Don't give me this gas about how tax arguments somehow determine who is a Republican. There is an awful lot of issues that define conservatism and taxes (particularly when the consensus Demonrat and Republican alike is to leave the rates alone at a level of about 1/3 of what it was pre-Reagan on that marginal income until one earns marginal income above $250,000). Social conservatives carry your water and don't you ever forget it. Your reciprocal obligation is support of the babies, marriages, guns, military, etc. If you don't want to meet those obligations, then depart for the Demonratic Party where you belong. With modified tax policies, we can recruit ten Democrat social conservatives to replace each departing materialist obsessive.
That having been said, no one deserves your money more than you but not one baby's life should be offered on the altar of Moloch for Nancyboy even if he could get you a lifetime pass on all taxes.
BTW, Marxism is also called dialectical materialism. That is only one form of materialism but it IS a form of materialism. Conservatism far transcends mere materialism, respectable or otherwise.
