Are cons unpatriotic because they hate taxes?

Jannette Kotz: "If you are happy with 8.2 %..;then you are either employed and do not need to worry..; or you are on welfare and will not worry (about anything!)!""American's are not happy with 8.2% unemployment(actually, it is approximately twice that number).""By the way..;It is not just Republican's..;Those democrats out of work are not happy about it either!!"

David Kuper: Anything working people use. The middle class will be hit hardest

Caryl Mclaen: There's almost nothing left to tax and you can only tax rich people so much before they renounce their American citizenship and move out of the country for good.Universal health care will bankrupt this country.

Shamika Schools: Frankly, their "focus on jobs" seems to be REALLY effective.... for Communist China, India and Mexico, since that's where they sent the jobs.We might be doing a lot better if they stopped focusing on Eric Holder, Marriage Equality, PPACA, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", the BP Oil "Shak! edown", every BUT jobs has been their focus.They've proven over and over again they do not care about the average working American. They won't serve in the military to defend this country, they try to take voting rights away from American citizens, they take away teachers, cops and firefighters in order to give billionaires tax breaks, our roads, bridges and levees are collapsing and all they can talk about are anything and everything EXCEPT working to fix these issues facing us.Hell, they spend their days telling the American People bald-faced LIES in order to scare people who don't know any better into voting the Black Man outa the White House.Luckily, most of us know them for the seditious, "Republican Before America", sociopaths they truly are.

Georgianna Zollo: cap and trade, (electric, gas, auto)guns and ammoalcohol

Pamela Meno: Who said I love the military? I oppose standing armies.Who said I support the national highway system? I'm opposed to it as it fo! rbids a viable option from arising.Who said I support the scho! ol system. I do not support the compulsory school system or the uniformity of the educational system.Who said I attend parks? Nor do I eat burgers.Correction, the U.S. does have high taxes. You also forgot to mention that the U.S. thrived during a time when global competition was low, war torn Europe was still rebuilding its infrastructure in this era, and is the reason why the U.S. dominated global trade during the "Keynesian Era".Patriotism is love of country not love of government or taxes.Being unpatriotic is showing a lack of love for ones country; not an unwillingness to support government or taxes....Show more

Arleen Bussing: Who is happy with 8.2% unemployment? Obama promised that unemployment would not go above 8%, yet it's been well above 8% for almost all of his term.

Raymon Fiene: We will get taxed for alot more. That's what happens when a nation elects a socialist leader.

Becky Mosena: In California, there's a loud call to tax marijuana sales.! And in Georgia, one lawmaker says he's not giving up on his proposal for a state strip club surcharge.http://abcnews.go.com/Business/Economy/Story?id=71...The federal government would amass greater power over the financing and delivery of medical services; it would also determine the benefits and medical procedures that Americans would get and the prices providers are paid for them. This concentration of government power over health care would have a profound impact on all Americans, especially members of the medical profession.Such government control would: Result in substantially lower payments to physicians and other health care providers compared to a multiple-payer system; Reduce the quality of care by limiting the ability of physicians to invest in advanced medical equipment that takes advantage of new technology; Limit access to care in the near term, as current physicians and other professionals retire earlier or otherwise leave the profession; Limit access to care! even more substantially in the long term, as the prospect of lower lif! etime earnings reduces the incentive for talented people to choose careers in health care; andReduce the rate of medical progress, because fewer talented people receiving medical training decreases the supply of talented medical researchers. o_O

Rocio Karvis: not true,, everyone pays taxes when they go to any type of store, when you use the word tax an not define what a persons fair share is, that's when I have a problem

Cornelius Thornborrow: I do not support anyone in office that is a Communist because I am a real American and not brainwashed! We all know what this tax crap is about and it is about taking control of American citizens and sucking the heck out of all of us and the poor! Let us see now.. we have State Government and local government and, unlike the totally stupid Hillary book claims, individual rights come before any other rights! What you suggest is that all funds go to the spenders, that we all know waist the most, and then spill what remains t! o our States for schools and operations. We have way to much Federal Government and it is costing our freedoms! Earl...Show more

Gaylord Barragan: Republicans haven't addressed jobs once since taking control of the House. Their 30 or so "jobs bills" are nothing more than tax cuts for the 1% and the scaling back of social programs. They are much more concerned with defunding Planned Parenthood, defending the clearly unconstitutional DOMA, banning abortion, opposing Obama on absolutely everything, and redefining rape.

Booker Moros:

Clifford Gombos: First, that would drive the cost of programming through the stratosphere. Do you have any idea how much that would require if we reduced the public income to a single stream? Second, the advertisers would just pass the cost along to the customers.How about instead of whining about our taxes we admit that they are the price of freedom and security, and just pay them? Generations of Americans have contributed ! to making this nation great and it is now our turn.

Bettye Arre: ! The concept of taxation isn't anathema to us, it's the WASTE and OVERSPENDING, which creates other problems like destroying personal initiative and creating dependancy (which gives you more votes at the cost of ruining this countries moral fiber and international standing). Nothing like creating your own straw man arguments for your campaign of demonization.

Raven Purl: Fast food, any grocery item with a high fat content, alcohol, firearms, ammunition, fuel and income to name just a few of the items that are likely to incur a federal tax or an increase.

Jorge Gerrero: Remember two years ago when Biden predicted Obamanomics would create over 500 million new jobs per month. Only over estimated that by 321 million (188 million is the current average) per monthhttp://newsbusters.org/blogs/julia-seymour/2010/06...

Ramon Dahlheimer: No. but unfair taxes yes .. and "other developed nations" are not doing as well .. as for low taxes.."In a press release, “Avoi! ding Their Fair Share of Taxes,” the AFL-CIO hails Levin and bewails the fact that the U.S. corporate tax rate is 35 percent, highest in the world"http://www.humanevents.com/2013/05/31/abolish-the-......Show more

Pam Rampadarat: I think that you will see taxes begin to rise on alcohol (sin taxes) in the near future. Followed closely by increased taxes on fast food (fat taxes). What amazes me with the support of these taxes on cigarettes is the fact that some people do not seem to be able to compute this out to it's logical conclusion. If the government is allowed to tax freely and excessively by playing on people desires then at some point something you enjoy will also fall victim to this practice. Call it the law of unintended consequences.

Armanda Hertel: Everything! Sales taxes would increase dramatically, and necessary spending, such as defense and education, would drop dramatically.

Elinore Schlinker: "Are cons unpatriotic because they hate taxes?"T! he founding fathers hated taxes. Are they unpatriotic too?"The military! they love... tax funded.The roads they drive on...tax funded.The schools most of their kids attend...tax funded.The parks they eat burgers at...tax funded.The building of infrastructure that made American standard of living one of the BEST...all happened during the Keynesian era."The terrorists we're fighting against....tax funded.The united nations orginazation with human rights abuser countries running its human rights division....tax fundedMurdering babies through abortion....tax fundedSolyndra....tax funded.Opening companies in foreign lands....tax funded...Show more

Loise Mausser: Got no problem pay taxes, just want to have a voice in how the tax money is spent. I want a government that establishes a budget as called for in the constitution and spends the money wisely. Not on fake "studies", not on congressional perks or vacations for the president. Oh and if you look, National defense is the responsibility of the Federal Government, the roads are funded thru ga! s taxes, the schools thru local taxes, same with the parks.In the 3 years the democrats had control of congress how much of the 787 billion dollar "stimulus" went for infrastructure repair, not enough.Unlike liberals we want a voice in our government, we don't yell Sieg Heil and goosestep off the cliff because your fuhrer tells us to.Oh and I spent over 20 years in military service because I was patriotic, how many did you serve?...Show more

Serita Hefferon: I keep hearing Republicans bashing Obama for lack of jobs or the quality of jobs. Who Cares. People with Phds and Masters can work at McDonald's for $7 per hour. Big deal. And lots of Union people in Ohio are happy with their jobs. Notice almost every swing state has lower unemployment rates. THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN WIN. You already lost on Health care too. Oh and Bin laden is dead as well and in Egypt and LIbya Democracy is flourishing.

Frank Crummell: birth control devices ie. condoms, the pill, etc

Brittanie Zakutney: We already see them raising the tax on cigarettes! and people cheer because of the cost associated with smoking. But, do people stop to think about what else they will tax the hell out of or make illegal due to "cost" associated with certain activities once the government is in control of the health care system?

Chauncey Williama: Your conservative BS is just that. BS.No one is "happy" with the unemployment rate except unpatriotic cons who would rather see families' financial futures destroyed if it gives them a political edge.More to the point: the unemployed rate is dropping, bit by bit. It was over 9 percent a year ago. And the job market overall, is improving. The housing market is finally turning around -- and the economy is growing.Economists across the board -- and Obama -- told you recovering from the recession you conservatives caused would take years. It did, and we still have a ways to go. But nothing will change your lies into truth. Or absolve you from the disloyalty you have demonstrated by seeking Amer! ica's failure for your own political gain.

Matt Gerdeman: We know almost every other developed nation has even higher taxes,but we need to fix our economic problems before taxes get higher.

Dick Baumgarten: Obviously--the average American is dumber than a rock--so obabble can run all over the Consitution--His supporters can't read anyway---Not to worry----help is coming--2010--we can VOTE OUT OBAMAM corrupt CONGRESS--and Save America!Just buy your cigs from Illegals--they sell them cheaper and unde the fed tax laws--

Idell Syed: America does NOT have high taxes... almost every other developed nation has much higher taxes than the US.

Luana Carothers: I pay taxes weekly. But when I'm taxed for every damn thing I do, Its a problem

Ambrose Mumma: Not at all. They just don't like an administration contriving to develop healthcare for all, while allowing a racist tax therein (the tanning bed tax for fair skinned people) or, the "fine" for non compl! iance with Obamacare (the SCOTUS said it was a tax.)We are not unpatrio! tic at all, we just don't see it as particularly patriotic to have unjust and hidden taxes foisted on us under the guise of something else....Show more

Corrinne Ruozzo: Because Americans aren't happy with 8.2% unemployment. A lot of Americans are suffering due to the President's incompetence.

Theresia Fashaw: if McCain had won and the unemployment rate were 5% you'd be screaminv about how those jobs are "hamburger flipper jobs"… your hubris knows no bounderies!

Myriam Hetjonk: If you are correct why are so many dems blaming the Republicans for NOT focusing on jobs?

Rivka Killmer: Gov mandate=forced/lost freedomhealthcare= huge taxunemployment/low paying job= no way to pay obamacarehope and change= morons
