If the Democrats took control of Congress

Thats just because your rich. Thing is, right now the rich are taxed the least of anyone, and they're the ones who can afford it the most.

do you have a support i could examine, im not really sure i understand what you are saying. are you saying poorer people are taxed more in comparison to the amount of money they make (ie tax percent is higher?) or are you saying the amount of money a poorer person sends to the government is more money than a rich person sends to the government?

The problem with the Liberals running Congress isn't anything on that list. The things they want to change are things that are moral issues that have been accepted for hundreds of years until now. Abortion, gay marriage, gun control. We can just plan on bending over and taking it up the tailpipe if the Democrats take over the country.

the problem with that is who is the government to decide what you believe morally?

It's odd hearing about "gun control" from a guy who hunts from the back of his pick-up truck. (had to say it, LOL!)

Before this thread gets out of hand and locked, I wanted to say this: What will come, will come. None of your discussions will change it. If a Democrat gets elected, who cares? If a Republican gets elected, who cares? Parties don't matter at all to me. The person themself is what I'm interested in, and I honestly am repulsed by people judging others based on what party they closest align to.

Now that I've said my bit, back to your regularly scheduled Party v.s. Party discussion.

I Like the country just the way it is.... Gay marrages still a no (FTW), Abortion on the fence causeing alot of people to not get some, we are in a war, and gas prices are going down....

IMO that all works for the good for me.... As for if the demos take over... i would be afraid i would get impeached

There is only one issue you guys speak of that I disagree with and that is gay marriage. How does that affect your morals? If they are legally allowed how will that change your morals? If they were allowed it would not affect you at all, so whats the big deal. I guess having a loved one who is gay (I have a cousin who is gay) might change your perspective on this. I can't say I'm an advocate for gay people or want to hear or see about their life, but why, if 2 partners love each other, can't they get married? You can say "It says in the bible" all you want but then what happened to separation of church and state. Honestly why should the government have a say in it at all?
