Proof Democrats are Stupid - again. Options

[Dogmeat]

Subject: In just one year

This email comes in three parts:

Part 1

In just one year. Remember congressional election of 2006?
Thought you might like to read the following:
A little over one year ago:

1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.

Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:

1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.25 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5%.
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.

America voted for change in 2006, and we got it

Remember it's Congress that makes law not the President. He has to work with what's handed to him.



Part 2:

Taxes...Whether Democrat or a Republican you will find these statistics enlightening and amazing.


www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/151.html

Taxes under Clinton 1999 Taxes under B Bush 2008
Single making 30K - tax $8,400 Single making 30K - tax $4,500
S ingle making 50K - tax $14,000 Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $23,250 Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K - tax $16,800 Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $21,000 Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax $38,750 Married making 125K - tax $31,250



Both democratic candidates will return to the higher tax rates



It is amazing how many people that fall into the categories above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever.

If Obama or Hillary are elected, they both say they will repeal the Bush tax cuts and a good portion of the people that fall into the categories above can't wait for it to happen.

This is like the movie The Sting with Paul Newman; you scam somebody out of some money and they don't even know what happened.

Gas prices have nothing to do with congress, you are an idiot if you think they control gas prices. It has to do with the dollar free-falling and more demand in other places. Fairly simple. If it had something to do with congress or the house, then why would gas prices all around the world be going up?

Please explain to me how the democrats in congress for two years has explained americans being in debt and not being able to pay back what they owe? Pretty much explains why the housing crisis has happened. Unemployment is also caused by this, our crappy economy (which doesnt miraculously change in two years, it takes years to change an economy to what it has become).

Taxes, well I dont mind higher taxes due to the debt we are in. Spending aimlessly is not solving anything nor does it help the value of the dollar. I dont know why you bring up illegal immigrants on your defense of war spending....since both democrats and republicans have problems with the way they are here and mooching off of us. I dont think we should pull out of Iraq, but it is a huge waste of money from the beginning that we did not need, nor has solved anything.

Every domestic drilling proposal and virtually any other proposal to develop natural resources, with the exception of eastern US coal mining, has faced opposition on pure bullshit grounds from the Democratic party for nearly the last 40 years.

So yes, they do have something to do with gas prices.

How about you read the same post you just quoted from me, and when you can put 2 and 2 together, we'll talk.

strangely, I did answer. All that was in your post was the amount of money that we pay for illegals, which has nothing to do with democrats or republicans (we both agree on that, we should not be paying for them), and then you compare taxes....which I mention already, what part of your post did I miss exactly?

No, you didn't, because you completley missed the entire point of the post I made and I don't know how to make it any more obvious:

The Democratic party has opposed and moved to hault virtually any new domestic drilling project in this country for nearly the last 40 years on pure bullshit grounds of environmental impact, spotted owls, whatever. ANWR is no difference. So when I say put 2 and 2 together, what I mean is, that this mentality over the course of the last four decades has left us in the pickle we're in today, and the left side of the aisle bears HUGE percentage of the blame for it. They've sold themselves out to the greenie fucks to get votes, and now we're all paying the price for it. Will drilling in ANWR cause gas to go down? No. Will it help to prevent it from going higher? Yes. The bottom line is, we need 15 more ANWR's domesically if we want to satiate our lust for oil and not see the prices shoot even higher, but every time a company wants to drill somehwere, regardless of how "environmentally sensitive" the area is, there 10 whacko greenie groups suiing the BLM to stop development. It's absolutley fucking mindless, and groups like these have done such a good job brainwashing the public about it they public buys into it. The Democrats wouldn't get elected into office without this. "The Environment" is roughly the equivelent of the "War on Terror" for the Republican party.

I bring up my point again, even if we did drill in ANWR, even if it was 10 years ago, chances are we would still be in the same shithole we are in now. How much more supply would it bring in? The demand for oil would be the same, the dollar would still be shitty, and gas prices all around the world would still be going up. You would be a fool to think that if it started pumping out oil 10 years ago to think that it would solve our skyrocketing oil costs. Demand everywhere is going up, regardless of if we drilled or not. Money would be a lot better spent on finding things were we dont need to rely on oil. Other technologies that oil/car companies have been putting off for years due to the profits that they make on the current technology.

I dont agree with the environmentalist to the extent that they go to stop things, but I also dont trust large oil companies and the greed that they have.
