Better it be on the backs of the upper ten percent who can manage it, than on the backs of you and me and future generations who will suffer for it, inho.

I'd rather pay a fairly large tax on things that I buy, knowing that this tax will be enforced during EVERY transaction, no matter how much money you have to spend. Progressive income taxes are a sham. The rich can find their loopholes to get out. Remember "voodoo economics" ? It may seem that the rich have to pay higher taxes than the poor, but it has a way of slowly trickling up the ladder instead....

Yes, what you say is very true.
And the rich also have a lot more money to spend to affect public attitudes and discourse, and in some cases get people to adopt policies that are completely counter to their best interests.

Progressive agendas are much more aligned with mainstream American attitudes than the media or Washington will admit, yet the democrats act like they are republican light.

Great points in this thread

im voting for kucinich. i belive when voting you should vote with your heart, not the lesser of two evils. We need to break the BushClintonBushClinton Corporate enterprise.

Clinton balanced the budget.

And Kucinich says we don't have to raise taxes necessarily, just rework what's paid for with what.

The media will only pay attention to the money race, therefore, Kucinich will never be taken seriously.
I agree with Dennis the most and would vote for him in a second. We need a good sound executive with policies based in reality.

They tried to make him seem like a whack job the other night because he said he saw a UFO at Shirley Maclaine's house, yet Bush speaks to God. LOL. Now, who is more of a whack job?
I like how he got Russert (potato) to repeat several times the fact that 15% of Americans admit to having seen a UFO. I like him.

I also like how Dodd, Obama, etc are taking Hilary to task over her Iraq voting record. No one's going down easily. I believe Dodd or Biden would be my second choice.

Even Kucinich knows he can't win. He just does it as a hobby.

So far, Kucinich has my vote. Of all the candidates so far, he is the one that I agree with the most. Maybe not about everything, but certainly more than any other runner for the presidency. Obama would be my second choice.

It's kind of funny how over the course of one year I've switched from "moderate end of conservative" to "liberalliberalliberal". College, I guess. I just want the world to be a better place!

My high school history teacher never liked any candidates enough to actually vote for them, so he ends up writing in Nader almost every year. Even the Democratic candidates usually aren't liberal enough for him!

If Kucinich isn't on the ballot, I'll definitely write him in. America needs Dennis Kucinich.

And remember, kids: George W. Bush =

Write in votes for Dennis Kucinich is just like not voting at all. If he doesn't get the nomination, then anything after that is wasted. You need to pick from the lesser of 2 evils. I would have thought that lesson was learned in the 2000 election. GW didn't beat Gore in Florida, it was Ralph Nader and his Green Party run that screwed Gore. The Green Party people are left of Left. And due to their actions, they got a Compassionate Conservative in charge. Nice move boys.
