But they all love Halo too... maybe they like killing filthy stinking aliens that cross the intergalactic border... food for thought.
and yes I'm just joking... but they are all 360 fans! Spooky! |
I never noticed that...I am not a Repulblican, but I am a Conservative. I guess you could make the case that Republicans/Conservatives have a knack for sniffing out a good value.

As a Christian I really believe people should be treated fairly and equally. Everyone deserves a chance. But man do I love my 360, I like my PS3 as well but to me my Xbox 360 fulfills me. What a strange assumption you have about 360 owners. |
In America, everybody has a chance, it is up to them whether or not they will take it. Also, if you really were about equality, you would be for a fair tax where everybody is taxed the same amount. You wouldn't be for the government stealing money from the rich to give to the poor (Or paying for votes with other people's money, or my personal favorite, forcing everybody to be charitable) No, you would be for churches and non profits taking donations from the rich (who would inevitably donate more if they had more to give) and would be for the government staying out of our way and letting the natural system of capitalism work. /rant

I am also in the upper 2% that the Bush tax cuts benefit and you know what I dont need the help. A little bit of extra truth about us in the top 2% when you cut our taxes we save the money for our family. We dont go out and spend it. |
You may, but most of that upper bracket will re-invest in their business and as a result will grow jobs.

Having a functional society surely is showing having brain. In my opinion, its worth more than paying less taxes. About the quote, you can have both a heart and a brain, dont you think? You also can be more or less realist whether your right or left. I think that realizing you have society problems and finding solutions to fix them is as much realistic as getting richer. What do you think? |
So your idea of a functioning society is 11% unemployment (last time I checked , and that's not counting those who have part time jobs but are looking for full time, those who have stopped being eligeable for unemployment, and those who have given up looking for work, which also brought the total up to somewhere around 20%).
About his quote, it is true that one can have a heart and a brain, but when it comes to the two extremes of politics, his quote is accurate.
I believe that allowing the capitalist system to work with minimal governmental interferance is the key to having a functional society.
