First you talk about taxes now you go talk about something else in the middle of an argument. The fact is less taxes under Bush than Clinton.

Much more limited then when Clinton was president.

Scoot:

[ QUOTE ]
"Stephen Moore, president of the Club for Growth, and Daniel Mitchell, a Heritage Foundation economist, argue that government was much better contained under President Clinton, in part because Mr. Clinton faced a skeptical Republican Congress.

"We are now seeing the biggest expansion in government since Lyndon Johnson was in the White House," Mr. Moore said. "It is pretty much an across-the-board mushrooming of government. We have the biggest education, foreign aid and agriculture bills in history, and bigger expansions are on the agenda."

Mr. Mitchell called the growth of government under Mr. Bush "very troubling for conservatives." He calculates that domestic spending is up about one percentage point of gross domestic product. "That is quite discouraging," he said, "particularly since we made so much progress under Clinton in reducing the size of government."

He was talking about the size of government; and so were you.

Stop dodging the facts you brat. I provided proof that government is not more limited under Bush than it was under Clinton.

What the hell does it matter if it's higher deficits or higher taxes? Government is still growing much faster under Bush than it did under Clinton. I actually prefer higher taxes to higher deficits, because at least we aren't paying interest on the additional debt.

My advice to you is to switch your major immediately. Change it to some bullshit major like children's studies, because you clearly have no clue about economics. The CEO of some company isn't going to care that you can quote Bush's campaign speeches or that you're a registered Republican. That's not going to make him give you the job.

It's not as if it was particularly hard to capture what everyone was saying; he made two, separate, one-sentence posts; how can I take that out of context?

At least you see the humor his 'you're missing the context' claim. What context could I miss?

If you play poker for a living then Canada looks good as it doesn't treat gambling winnings as income subject to income tax. If not, then move into your country's rain forest with a friendly tribe. Topless women, no tax or government. All you gotta do is hunt/pick/root for your daily meal.

Gee Dub said that he thinks the federal government should take no more than 1/3 of your money. Wow, that's re-assuring. That sure sounds like someone who believes in limited government. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

In Brazil you are required to vote by law and you can't get a job unless you can prove you voted. Laws like these will keep Brazil from becoming an economic powerhouse.
