[quote=mandingo][quote][quote]i'm sure they both take it up the ass in whatever way keeps the coffer filled, but generally speaking people who profit from bigger government contribute to the democrats and those who profit from less government contribute to the republicans. if there's a better dichotomy out there, lay it on me.[/quote] I thought I did.[/quote]i was talking to Dragon Xero. i have you on ignore. but syria us lee, i thank you for your well thought out responses and for the way your flaxen hair smells of water droplets clinging to green blades of grass after a spring rain [quote]They disguise this agenda in terms of bleeding heart compassion for their fellow man. Meanwhile, they set the system up so as to make tons of crooked bucks behind the scene.[/quote]how do democrates make their crooked bucks usually? the republicans link to big business seems more straight forward (selling granny tranny porn) [quote]One champions every person's right to say or fuck whatever he wants while abhoring the act of self-defense against violence.[/quote]just because they champion your flavor of censorship doesn't mean they champion free speech. republicans are more willing to censor howard stern and flag burning while democrats are more willing to censor politically incorrect bugs bunny cartoons and the pledge of allegiance [quote]As you can see, the list of things that are "Not Big Government" qualify as big government under any ordinary use of those terms.[/quote]good point. but [i]both[/i] parties are all about implementing a "big government" when it comes to social issues. there's examples analogous to the censorship one with the definition of marriage, race relations, whatever but what about fiscal policy? specifically tax burden. left to their own devices, which party do you think would collect more in taxes? no doubt it fluctuates at the extremes of the tax brackets, but i think of democrats and i think of increases in inheritance tax, capital gains tax, and the escalation of the progressive tax scale. i think republicans, i think reductions in the capital gains tax, reductions in inheritance tax, and a flat tax [quote]Note that in 1992, after 3 Republican Presidential terms, the federal deficit was about 4 times what it had been after the Carter years.[/quote]with a majority democratic congress though, correct? [quote]Nonetheless, after two terms of Clinton, there was a federal surplus nearly as large as the deficit had been under Bush I.[/quote]with a majority republican congress though, correct? and do you remember how angry some democrats were at clinton about cutting the deficit? they even referred to him as a republican for doing so [quote]Here is another illustration of what is meant by the sentence, "Republicans are against big government"[/quote]what would you say drives the republicans to be more fiscally big government and the democrats less so? certain money pipelines in place for each?[/quote]
