Stalin = Bush = Satan. Understand?

P.S. If one doesn't vote in an election, it doesn't necessarily mean they "have no say" so to speak or that they're apathetic or unaware of any of the issues. Sometimes, it means the prospective voter concluded that there isn't anyone to vote for (since they're equally bad). I would propose that that happens often and each time it does, democracy suffers. It can't work very well when people aren't voting and when all (or nearly all) the candidates are poor choices.

Just my two cents worth...

Anyone that did not have anything to vote for in this past election was either misinformed, didn't care, retarted, or too busy in their lives to make an informed decision.
this is what I mean;
Kerry: Socialism, pro-choice, anti-war, or anyone that wants the government to take care of them verses them taking care of themselves, which in essence is socialism.
Bush: Capitolism, pro-life, pro-war with the crazies, and supports the "american way" which is work hard & get rewarded for it, like I did.

Now if none of these topics were important to you or anyone for that matter then u have some serious soul searching to do.

B, it's the governments responsibility to look after its people.

Alice-Illegal ways?

Uday-It is the governments responsibility to provide its people with opportunitiesto help themselves, not to provide everything for them.

Once again I am speaking from my vast knowledge of my personal experiences. I was a waiter 3 years ago with only 1 semester of college, my family was not helping me out, and I realized if i was going to have a better life then I should get up off my a$$ & work since my destiny was in my hands verses the governments.
Now I sell houses & make a killin', why; well i'm glad u asked, I wanted a better life for myself & have self-respect, thats really what capitolism is all about, self respect.

When I use the word Socialism I mean the following; providing everything for someone so they don't have to be dependant on themselves they are dependant on the government. ie..health care, tax the rich give to the poor, people that have $ are inherantly bad. Also living for the greater good of the community rather than the sanctity of the individual.

On social issues the liberal democrats are without a doubt SOCIALIST. Brick wall

I personally don't believe u should tax the "rich" more than anyone else & this is why: the rich employ the poor, now if u take a lot of $ away from the rich then they will take their money away from expansion, employee benefits ect. , now who does that hurt , the rich or the poor d'oh!

.

The rich will always be rich, the poor depending on how much initiative they will either become one of the rich or stay poor, & depend on the government to level the playing feild, while cutting their nose off to spite their face.
