2012 Candidates

Sometimes I think that people put way too much emphasis on the "President"....I mean yeah he signs the bills into law and he's the face of the country....but when you have idiots in the Senate and House that sit there for 20 years doing exactly the opposite of what you elected them to do...THOSE are the ones with the real power IMO. They need term limits, maybe a bit longer than the president like 8 or 10 years, but get fresh blood in there that haven't been "bought" by special interest groups and lobbyists (we all know by year 8 or 10 they will have been bought :crank: )

Just IMO :wink:

Mauro said it best. And I still have no clue who to pick. They all seem worthless.

[i bleed green]

Totally agree with the term limits. Lobbyists are also a huge part of the problem. A huge part of the problem with the US political system is, corporations have way too much control.

[Pete Nice]

The US political system has been broke for 50 years. Lobbyists hold too much power, big corporations hold too much power, senate and house members are entrenched with only a bought agenda, the actual people who pay taxes have no say at all, most of the presidents during my lifetime have flat out sucked ass, the two parties are worse than ever and yet can get together to effectively block the rise of any third party. The voting system itself is broke, the electoral college is a joke, every vote should just be counted individually.

Shit's broke and unfortunately it might take the US turning into a third world country or a vast separation of the rich and the people (which is already happening) for people to rise up and fix it.

Mila Kunis needs to STFU and stick to looking very hot and shaking her tits and ass b/c she does not know shit about politics, everything she says is so misinformed. She speaks like one of those typical rich hollywood types who is ultra liberal b/c they already have money and it doesn't matter then turn around and pay no taxes....

Obama has proven that the President is powerless without a set of balls. He talks a good game and has SOME good ideas, but he needs to strike fear into his opposition.

1st off I agree with Pete if you vote for santorum I am going to meet him there and give him some condums for you skull fucking.

2nd- there are way to many tax loopholes for the ultra-rich. Unlike some people here- i have no problem paying a bit more in taxes, if I know they are going to be used for the right shit and not helping the rich get richer: fixing our education system, helping infrastructure, advancing science & medicine, etc.

[Joe]

Mila is right. :grin:

I don't want to pay any more taxes. Let the rich pay more taxes.

Here's where I disagree with part of it. You have all these pompous assholes saying "I'm a billionaire, I'm willing to pay more taxes" and give democrats the ability to argue for higher taxes, YET there has always been the opportunity to pay higher taxes. There is no law against paying more than what you feel is fair. You can mail the government a check. Hell, there's even a website for it. I don't like paying taxes, and as my income increases, I don't want more of my money taken out. It took a hell of a long time to earn it.

I think we should drop everyone's taxes, and cut out ALL the loop holes.

Here's a novel idea. You want to give people more hope, and a little more money in their pockets? How about you drop the FICA tax down to say 4%. That's nearly a 4% increase in everyone's pay (if your family is making 50k, you get an extra $2000 a year. Not a ton, but hey it's something you can depend on). Also, make it a deductible expense again (something Democrats took away), and you put another $500-1000 in our pockets. Offset that, by taking off the caps for what gets taxed. EVERYONE pays into it, not just the first 90k of everyone's pay. I (being a republican) think it's crazy that someone making 100k and someone making 200 million pay the same FICA tax. Suddenly everyone gets a tax break, and the "evil" rich people pay more taxes, and help to better stabilize Social Security, and get more money.

Just food for thought, but I'm just tired of people saying "I'm willing to pay more in taxes" because it's a theory. I don't see those people writing a check and sending it in. Warren Buffet said he should be paying more, but last I checked, he didn't write a check to "make up" for this gross inadequacy.
