    Good post.

    That one who made the original claims doesn't know Jack about the Founders.

    Your chart compares revenues to deficits. No where on your chart did you include the statistic taxes or tax rates. Your being disingenuous.

    Correct. There is no evidence that the founding fathers supported a socialist system. They supported the free market.

    Nat King Obama is not listening, and even if he was, he would not give a crap. It all part of the incompetent leftist loser gig he's got going at the White House along with his leftist flying monkeys in the senate, and some are republicans.

    Once again the right wing is proves its great skill at framing and deception, with the name 'cut cap and balance'. It is designed to hit the right emotional spots, and for the easy sell, because most people do want cutting and capping of spending and balancing, the question is WHAT, and thats the deception. They want to cut, and cap everything the majority of americans support, so this is just another right wing con job. Like their lovely 'patriot act' which is the most traitorous piece of legislation in modern american history.

    The Patriot Act is a terrible policy, no argument. But so is economic tyranny, running a trillion and a half deficit, on top of a multi-trillion dollar debt; and spending twice as much today as we did on military and entitlements in the year 2000. Telling the American people we need "new debt" to pay down "old debt." Increasing the rate of inflation. Risking default by simply not having a balanced budget and spending without having an approved budget.

    The Federal government is being run by lunatics. We need constitutional and fiscal sanity.

    Polls are polls and reality is reality

    9.2% unemployment, a national debt that is near double when Obama took over in Jan 2009, $840 billion for stimulus that failed to get people back to work, Gasoline near $4.00 a gallon and food prices skyrocketing.

    That will be the Democrat platform in 2012. Start praying now.

    Joe, Joe, Joe, liberals just don't get this. Hell, many Rinos don't either. It is our only future to crush this sort of behavior. Well said, by the way.

    Would you think it fair that we reduce all spending by 10% so that everyone takes a hit equally?

    (I also do not support the Patriot Act.)
