Question: Obama and the dems are for small businesses and tax breaks for them, why don’t tea parties endorse the dems?

the republicans if elected will lower taxes on large corporations and make them pay less than small businesses do and will make it even harder for them to compete. Also according to their website http://www.gop.gov/solutions/ they aren’t offering any tax breaks to small business owners. Why do these tea baggers vote against their own best interest.

Answer: The teabaggers are a sad, sad group.

They are united in nothing but opposition to Obama, that is all.

And I’m not saying they’re all outright racists, but you must see for yourselves people.

Question: I wish I could move to another country as easily as illegal immigrants can move to the United States!?

Illegals can move here and get amnesty and the United States government either supports it or overlooks it. Other countries do not allow this. I would dearly love to leave the US for Canada, Australia, or the UK.

The US government is simply a corrupt country that is increasingly run by big business and does not look out for it’s legal citizens. We have sorry health care, tax breaks for the rich corporations and over-taxation of decent working people.

Unfortunately, the US has only two viable political parties, both attuned to their big-business allies and special interests. The electoral system is set up so that other political parties and/or independents are squashed.

I want outta here! I want decent health care, a fair tax system, and for my vote to count!

Instead, the illegals are getting all the benefits and I am paying for it.

Answer: You’re going to move to another country and get to vote? Right…

I think it will be funny when you get to one of those other countries and find out they are just as corrupt. Oh, by the way, the top 10% pay something like 80-90% of the taxes here. The bottom 40% pay almost nothing. What are you bitching about? Would you rather pay 40% more of your salary to taxes to pay for healthcare and other “free” luxuries of those other countries? Just go get insurance and find a decent doctor, moron. In the UK you don’t even get to vote for the candidate, you just vote for the political party and they select the leadership. You must be one of those people that blames America for all of your problems when the reality is that the problem is too many people like you in America.

Question: Is the democratic party going against it’s own grain with it’s proposed stimulus bill?

Some of the main ideals of the democrat party are clean energy, tough on business, and less tax breaks for the wealthy.

In the stimulus package that the democratic party originally proposed in the senate it was seeking to give special tax breaks for coal companies, special tax breaks for struggling businesses, and raise the limit of those qualified for the rebates from 75K individual and 150K couple up to 150K individual and 300K couple?!

Doesn’t this sound like the opposite of what they are tooting in the polls?

Answer: They’re all the same faces under different names. Politics in general have been modernised to the point now where there’s no real distinction between candidates and parties. I say modernised..maybe this is the course it was meant to take…
