Where is the US economy headed?

Yup, ican is that clueless! No surprise here.

He can't see that the person paying $1 from his $10 earnings can't buy anything for $9, and also the taxpayer earning $10-million has $9-million to spend after he pays his 10% tax.

Yes, that's the only way it would work.

Do you think the Fair Tax will ever see the light of day, or have even a fair hearing in Congress? It seems a longshot to me, but I do think one possibility is that as Obama and the Democrats continue to run the economy into the ground, enough people might wake up to the possibilities of considering some of the innovative new ideas out there for fixing the growing mess we are in. As you probably know, Huckabee ran on the Fair Tax as one of his issues, and in the event Huckabee might win, and if a Congress was in place that would have the numbers to consider such a new initiative, it might have a chance in that case. I would be all for it, but I also worry that it would have to be done right, and we only want it if the income tax was totally scrapped.

CI:
You replied to Okie:
okie, The poster who rarely provides evidence or facts in his posts has the gall to tell another poster that their source of information is wrong. That's chutzpah and ignorance all rolled into one idiot who uses Rass and Limbaugh as his source for information.

There's no cure for stupid!

Me:
This is in reference to 2 replies he made to me previously, about what HE thinks I believe. I don't know his age but back in 1964, I was 20 and ready for freedoms that he or his parents had ALWAYS enjoyed! 3 years previous in 1960, buses, cabs and other public transportation was integrated because I and people that looked like me paid the SAME price for a fare, but had to sit behind someone that looked like him.

Again, in 1964, American was on its' way to "looking" like the America, the constitution said it was/is. Whether anyone agrees/disagrees with my philosophy/ideology, matters not to me. It was what it was since 1619. At least I know MY history of how it was from the time of the pilgrims. I want nor need sympathy from anyone nor do I seek it.

If you went to school and wondered why people of color are not in the history books, listen up and learn the truth. No one can define ne for what I've experienced and lived. I saw a PBS film, "Faubourg Treme", a film by someone I knew growing up, about the aftermath of Katrina and its' effect on Blacks and their image of the US, now. It screams of injustice now and the effects that having a Republican in the White House, so far detached from Blacks and other people of color, I thought I was back in the 50's.

For a short 50 years, the US had come a long way, I thought, until Katrina and then I saw ignorance unparalleled in my lifetime. "Let 'em drown", is the message you come away with. Okie, can continue to hate Obama, tell me to "move on" and forget the institutional racism, played like a sick joke, on Americans of all colors and I'll continue to fight, until my last breath for freedom.

When people like you exist, I know I still have a fighting chance and I respect the hell out of you, for it. I've been offline for a week, decorating for Christmas and enjoying the fruits of being a wife and mother to my grown adult children. I'm beat from all the cooking and entertaining I had to do for Thanksgiving, as it was the 1st time in 5 years that we were ALL together in one place.

As I watched the film and it ended, I booked a flight for 2. I'm going home to be where the weather suits my clothes and to soak up what being from New Orleans means to me. Thanks for building that fire under me, Okie.

Teach a Donkey to Fish

Teeny, cut it out, enough already, I do not hate Obama, never did, never will. I do not respect Obama, nor do I think he is qualified to be president, nor do I agree with the man on almost anything. I don't care if he was black, brown, green, or yellow, okay? If you insist on the necessity of electing a black man to validate you for whatever emotional lack that you seem to feel, I would suggest to you that electing a loser that happens to be black is going to do your cause alot more harm than electing a black person that is credible. If we are only given the choice of a black president, I would much rather have Michael Steele, Condi Rice, Clarence Thomas, Walter Williams, J.C. Watts, or any number of other reasonable people out there that happen to be black, and that also have the gumption to have left the liberal left plantation run by the likes of Moveon.org, Geore Soros, Teddy Kennedy, the Clintons, and all the rest of that pathetic bunch of socialists and quasi Marxist sympathizers.

Get a spine, teeny, and quit swallowing the liberal swill. And as far as ci is concerned, he is a nothing more than a cheapshot artist on this forum that tells anyone that disagrees with him that they are stupid, ignorant, and without a brain.

You don't "hate" Obama, but your posts says otherwise. He's your arch enemy, because he's out to destroy the country you so love.

I do not hate Obama either, never did, never will. I think he is a wonderful community organizer.

IGNORE!

DOUBLE IGNORE!

Here's some food for thought:

You can try ignoring the voices in your head, but you should not ignore what PrezBO is doing to destroy our economy.

What is it about liberals that whenever anyone disagrees with them, they accuse you of hatred? A very weird twisted mindset, they somehow cannot conceive of or be able to handle disagreement. They somehow have this emotional hangup that they have to be right and any word of disagreement is interpreted as hate. That seems like narcisism to me. Perhaps liberalism and narcisism are intertwined?

Now we have the bizarre situation today of Reid accusing Republicans of favoring slavery by opposing his stupid health care legislation. Again, what a screwed up mentality is that? Weird it is. Talk about demagoguery, we have a bunch of them on our hands now. Does the idiot of a man have a clue that it was a Republican, Lincoln, that did the emancipation proclamation? We have mental midgets in the Democratic Party right now, they are incapable of recognizing what a problem is that is causing something and addressing the problem. Their solutions often have absolutely nothing to do with the problems.

And when will the crooks in the Democratic Party get theirs?

Such liberals have got to accuse those with whom they disagree of something awful, just to avoid revealing their inability to construct a valid rational counter argument. They believe what they say they believe because they have been indoctrinated with it, or because they are paid to do it, or because they are seeking the approval of their acquaintenances, or because they realize that they are actually guilty of what they accuse you and rather than cope with it, they "transfer" it by accusation to those with whom they disagree.

When the Repugs "fabricate" something and they WILL! They're professional "crooks and liars"!

Dumb, dumb, dumb.
By definition, the Democrats have to lie to get elected. They cannot be honest about who they are or they would never win, because their prez is a radical from the gitgo, with former terrorists, Marxists, and even criminals as associates, mentors, advisors, and friends. The Democratic Party has to be the most corrupt and the most left wing radical bunch of socialists I have ever witnessed in my entire lifetime and I am now over six decades old.

The Democrats are so morally bankrupt at this point in time that their Senate leader has accused the party that freed the slaves despite his own lousy party, he has accused the Republicans that freed the slaves of essentially supporting slavery by not supporting his lousy and pathetic health care bill. Now, that makes my blood boil, that guy is an idiot, and a demagogue, and should be removed from office. By the way, it has been known a long time that the man is corrupt, as he invests in land deals and then pushes legislation to make his land holdings more valuable in Nevada, and besides that he works deals to benefit his friends, lobbyists, and contractors in Nevada, the guy is an absolute joke, but of course teeny does not care because his a Democrat.

I am becoming more and more fed up with the double standard in this country, and the obvious corruption and radicalism that has taken over a once respectable political party. It was once respectable, but no more, it has sold its soul to the radicals, the socialists, and the crooks, and no lie is too large for them to tell in order to win an election, and no corrupt organization such as ACORN is too corrupt to use in its operation. And no dollar is too foreign for use as campaign money. And no technology is too important to be sold for campaign money, Clinton proved that. And no veteran is too honorable to be lied about and dumped on, Kerry and a few other Democrats keep proving that. And no science is too scientific to not be lied about and corrupted for political purposes and goals, the Democrats starting with Gore continue to prove that. The list goes on.

Okay, okie, all democrats are liars and crooks. Does that make you happy?

No! What will make me happy is all democrats STOP being liars and crooks.
