So the only money the government gets from you to solve all these problems is what they TAKE from you? You don't volunteer any extra when you earn money. I thought you were compassionate and conservatives were not. If so pony up 80% off your income to make for better schools and housing and welfare and healthcare and auto insurance and etc...

Your not compassionate, you want everyone else to pay the bill while you sit back and tell everyone how you are "for this" and "for that" but you don't get in line and pay for it.

No honor either.

You're seriously saying you don't mind risking a depression just so you can have your welfare state? "they're fine now" isn't a valid argument, since without 80% tax rates they probably would not have been through there in the first place. In case you didn't know, economic depressions are bad.

But what if you could have equality, justice, and prosperity? I think I got the answer.
How about this? Sweeden did yes have some trouble but what about england france and germany. Since we are economically advanced now we would not face the same problems sweden did. This much is very true. Study up.

Now your just flame baiting. Stop trolling and saying I'm not compassionate I'm not old enough to pay vote yet I dont make enough money to pay taxes. How about a real debate. stop saying that I'm not conmpassionate. I should and will do what I can to give to charities as all should but that alone wont do the trick.

You make money? You just said you did. So go to the IRS and donate half of your earnings then we can talk on a subject we both have experience in.

Don't make enough to pay taxes? The IRS takes donations, lucky for you so find your local office in the US Government section of your phone book or do search online

http://www.irs.gov that might help.


By the way I give more than the money taken from me in taxes. Not as much as the taxes but I do give to the needy charities and SPCA.

Who do you support? You great person of compassion.

I never said I in particular was a great person of compassion I thinks its something we all need to work to become. I have ideological support for Ralph Nader.

Works well for Switzerland, to the extent that they have it.

I like the way Switzerland is governed, very very much.
