> [@adaher](#): > > Because liberals have one big stupid idea: that the government can be effective. They can’t even save their own emails. The government can be very effective when it’s adequately funded. During the 50’s and early 60’s, the top marginal tax rate was over 90%, and the economy and middle class enjoyed record gains, while the government built the interstate highway system and created a space program that went from zero to a man on the moon in ten years. Under the ridiculous tax cuts of Bush, and the draconian budget cuts of Republican congresses, and even their childish antics of delaying the approval of important department heads for months or years, it’s no surprise that effectiveness has gone downhill, along with the middle class getting screwed. ---

> [@eschereal](#): > > Do you have faith in the Teas/Republicans? Because that would qualify you, by proxy, for having “crazed” beliefs, as those people are just downright fucking crazy. No, they aren’t. The majority are people like me fed up to the gills with high taxes and government waste and intrusion into private life. As with any large group, there will always be a few under the left end of the bell curve, and as usual, you liberals promptly latch onto them and say that they represent the entire class. You libs have your share of the batshit crazy under the left end of your bell curve, but I don’t recall ever saying that whackjobs like San Fran Nan represent the entire class. You’re close but you’re not there yet. ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > No, they aren’t. The majority are people like me fed up to the gills with high taxes … What in the wide world of sports are you babbling about? For the last 13 years, you have enjoyed the lowest tax rates of the last 60 years, which are the direct cause of the deficit spending that produced the $18 trillion debt you abhor. You are just plain ignorant if you think government taxes you too much. ---

Thank you, **Miller** , for so eloquently arguing my case for me. Your retarded little comment is the kind of booger-eating bullshit that I have to put up with all the time. I could post something as fundamental as “oxygen is necessary for life” and you mouth-breathing morons would be posting shit like “Oh, dat Clothahump, he so dumb” instead of trying to (intelligently) debate what I said. And this is why I laugh at you. I shouldn’t, I suppose - it’s not nice to make fun of the mentally challenged. But damn, you make it soooo easy. ---
