Like the space program right? Where Obama wants private companies to step up and lift cargo and people into low earth orbit instead of NASA. > It is the wealthy, regardless of their greed, that create jobs in this > country.

They've been moving their wealth overseas all during the Bush Jr. administration. What makes you believe that would change with another Republican President? If anything it would remain the same as Republicans don't believe in changing anything. > >> that's why Republicans lost the last few elections and will continue to > >> lose until they change that rhetoric. > > Actually, the Republicans lost badly in 2008.

True, but it will be short-lived if all they have to offer is .....wait for it ...... nothing. > While you are correct that the eight years of the Bush > administration were not popular, and the 2008 elections proved that, > the current administrations record of rapid government expansion, > massive increases in debt, increasingly high unemployment, etc., are > inciting even more outrage than Bush was ever able to muster. No, the roots of the outrage haven't magically formed branches...they're still roots. > Sadly it > is you who is the ideological sucker.

No, I'm not the one who believed throwing unlimited amounts of money towards unending wars. I'm not the one who believed in the power of hate-mongering as a progressive economic ideology. I'm not the one who believes that turning defense industries into offense industries to promote war and police state mentalities, while pretending that government was doing it all in my best interest. I'm not the one who believes that an extra $20 bribe in my pay check a week makes government somehow better and all the problems somehow less. As far as government solving problems; they can solve them if they have the good will and support to really solve them instead of trying to make a profit from them. As Jack Kennedy said in regards to landing a man on the moon within a decade; "We choose to do this, not because it's easy, but because it's hard". Now if you think some private sector company(s) could have did that, well your dreaming. What it did do was allow the private sector to benefit from the technologies developed later. If it were strictly up to private companies to do this, rest assured, we'd still be in the thinking stages while other governments would be doing it. The problem with politicians of both parties currently is they don't do anything for nothing; but instead want other people to either pay them directly in kickbacks, or sacrifice significant amounts of time for them while they profit from it. If Republicans can't lead by example, then they don't need to lead us into more unending wars, more angers, more frustrations, more despairs, more hates, more poverty, more moral/science restrictions, more greed, higher prices, ... because that's all they have to offer. Taxes will be the least of concerns in such a country. -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
