    Yep, and that fact pretty much ended the conversation the OP started, so time to try a new tactic I guess.

    Who says it has 'ended' besides You?

    Maybe people haven't responded because they haven't logged in yet this morning.

    It's not ended, of course, tag teaming aside... But I'd like to see those claiming so to comment on the new taxes instead of trying to proclaim the conversation has ended.

    The new taxes are unrelated to the OP which was talking about ONE specific tax.

    On the whole, anyone dumb enough to believe that Obama wasn't going to raise taxes deserves what they are getting. EVERY politician raises taxes. That's just the pathetic truth of it.

    Then if you don't like the twist the thread has taken, move along to the next one instead of talking about how the discussion has ended.

    Oh for the love of God...............

    I didn't say I didn't like the new twist. I merely stated that the discussion about the OP was ended and now the discussion has moved onto something else. I even discussed that something else.

    No, you said the discussion ended and that the OP needs to try a new tactic. You didn't discuss anything at all.

    Not in that single particular post , no I didn't. But there are SEVERAL posts in this thread that don't discuss the topic at all, so what?

    I certainly DID discuss it in another post, and will continue to do so as I feel the desire to.

    As for the OP, it HAS been shown that that tax will affect essentially no one. As to other taxes, once again, no one could honestly have believed Obama wasn't going to raise taxes.

    Not surprised by that

    Most Dems, and Obama himself, do not want to talk about passing the biggest tax increase in the nations history

    So you do not care when people lie to you eh?

    Do you give your friends, wife, and kids, a pass when you catch them lying to you?

    Oh thats right - in another thread you dismissed YOUR lies as "embellishments"

    Oh, and here is Obama in his own words

    So the conclusion the Democrats want us to draw is clear:

    We should not object to this kind of theft... as long as WE are not presently the ones being stolen from.

    Got it.

    They are the same "smart people" who consider tax cuts "spending"

    So the conclusion you want us to draw is that taxes are government theft.

    Got it.

    What is the difference if a guy holds me up and takes $100.00 from me - and the crook sees a man out in cold and he takes the $100 and buys him a coat, a meal, and room for the night

    VS

    the government taking the $100 from me and uses the money for the same thing

    One uses a gun to take the money while the other takes it via the whim of the government

    Yes, the government steals money from all of us everyday
