Politics, why is this?

Every self-declared conservative I know is against public education, welfare, Obama, atheism as a valid metaphysical viewpoint, higher education, taxing “the rich” (because they earned their money), low taxes for “the poor” (because they’re lazy and a drain on the system), rival religions (especially Islam; none of them have read any of the Qur’an except [...]

Why do individuals feel the government should take care of them? or Give them everything?

The government should help assure that we all have a equal opportunity to succeed. In America, all citizens are guaranteed “the pursuit of happiness,” not happiness given to them by a controlling government. Democrats would have you believe that every American is entitled to full healthcare, welfare, and high wages whether they’ve earned it or [...]

Why are Republicans caving into Obama on the debt ceiling?

If you know me from my previous questions, I’m very mad at the Democratic Party for jeopardizing our nation’s future.

Why do Democrats cling to failed policies?

Hello. I’m 14, and I’m gravely concerned about our country’s future. Since Obama’s taken office, the debt has risen to $ 14 trillion, gas costs have doubled, unemployment rose to over ten%(now it is at a nonetheless catastrophic 9.1%), households are well worth significantly less, and inflation is starting to take hold. It appears pretty [...]

Please explain why the wealthy should pay out increased taxes?

Dear Liberals, I have a question that puzzles me and I’d like some of your input as I, a fiscal conservative, can’t grasp the justification for increasing taxes on the rich(higher than they are now). These “Occupy Wall Street” protesters are unnerving me a bit with their chants of “tax the rich” and “arrest the [...]

Inheritance tax – Can we please cut the crap about “being taxed twice on the exact same dollars”?

Should the wealthy have to pay Estate taxes? We hear Republicans and wealthy Americans constantly grumbling about being taxed twice on the same money. Can we stop the lies? We are all taxed more than once on the same money. We pay taxes when we earn it, when we spend it, and taxes on our [...]
