Tell me why some people believe that Republicans discriminate against blacks. Please explain!.?

Republicans talk about lowering taxes. The problem is that they lower them for the small percentage of the wealthy, not for the people who actually need their taxes lowered, like the working middle class, which most of us are. Bush lowered taxes for the wealthy and President Obama lowered taxes for the 95% of tax payers who are not wealthy and let Bush's tax cuts for the 5% of the wealthiest people in the country expire.

Anyone who is among the wealthiest 5% of Americans, shouldn't even be talking about this unless they are willing to admit that they represent a very small minority of Americans and are now paying what they did before Bush lowered their taxes. It won't hurt millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share. It won't even hurt those making $250,000.

Do people who earn $50,000 think they are in the wealthiest 5%? Surely not. It is hard to tell what conservatives are basing their misconceptions on.

"the non-partisan Center for Budget and Policy Priorities reported on Wednesday that "Middle-income Americans are now paying federal taxes at or near historically low levels." How low? The average family of four right now is paying 4.6 percent of its income in federal income taxes -- the second lowest percentage in 50 years.

Yet polling numbers indicate that Americans are barely aware of these developments. Indeed, a good chunk of the country believes it has been saddled by this administration with tax hikes. Back in mid-February, a full 24 percent of respondents to a CBS News/New York Times poll said that their taxes had increased under Obama.

Fifty-three percent said they had stayed the same. Only 12 percent thought their taxes had gone down. "Belief is triumphing over reality," explained Bob McIntyre, director of Citizens for Tax Justice.

"Part of it is they watch the wrong television shows and believe it. Part of it is the tax cut that went to almost everybody, the making work pay credit, was dribbled out... people didn't get a check. They paid lower taxes and might not have noticed it."

Fox is owned by Australian, Rupert Murdoch, who has probably done more than any American to swing Republicans farther to the right than anyone would have ever imagined a few years ago. It just cannot be that everyone but Fox lies, especially since Fox went to court to fight for the right to lie and won! http://www.relfe.com/media_can_legally_l... The truth is that without taxes our infrastructure will collapse as it nearly has under Bush, there will be no more Medicare, no more schools, teachers, no more fire dept, police dept, military, National Guard, no more trash collection, water, sewar lines, President, or Congress.

So if they succeed in not paying any taxes, they need to help themselves if their houses burn or flood, if there is a terrorist attack, if someone breaks into their houses. They need to plan to home school their children and drive on dirt roads, do without bridges or interstates and everything else that taxes provide. One good thing is it will end Bush's wars, because there will be no more military.

Those that have Medicare plan to give it up if conservatives succeed in not paying taxes and breaking free of government. Conservatives blame the economic problems on Obama, when the recession actually started in Dec. 2007. Bush gave tax breaks to companies who were outsourcing American jobs overseas and Republicans deregulated Wall Street and corporations whenever possible, causing the Wall Street meltdown.

Greed was the order of the day. Conservatives like to say that Republicans balance the budget, but it is simply not true. President Clinton left office with a budget surplus, President George W.

Bush created the deficit, by cutting taxes for the wealthy and continuing to spend. His father, George HW Bush called that voodoo economics when Ronald Reagan did it. Conservatives didn't complain about the deficit Bush created, they just blame Obama for it, and complain that money is being spent to revitalize the economy Bush destroyed.

If Bush hadn't started the Iraq War and lavished money and tax cuts on the wealthy there would have been ample funds to spend on programs that would benefit everyone. If there had actually been a valid reason for the Iraq War the money spent on it might have been justified, but Bush justified the war by saying Iraq had weapons of mass distruction (WMD, nuclear weapons). The following is from The Downing Street Memo: "Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD.

But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy." http://downingstreetmemo.com/memos.html#...

The Conservatives want a smaller government! A smaller government would be less intrusive in everyone life. Granted they wouldn't be pushing social justice, which even a black on the Supreme Court (Justice Clarence Thomas) says is a phony issue to gain power.

My younger brother is one that refuses to grow up. He has been placed on disability because he feels bosses should coddle their employees. He thinks that business's are corrupt & that the customer is always right.

He has no appreciation of creating wealth. He thinks it is a right to play & any dollars he saved, in part from others in his family carrying him, shouldn't be considered when he gets disability. He doesn't appreciate his benefactors, in fact he is an angry, judgmental individual.

It is funny when he was a kid he frequently said he'd take care of everyone when he grew up. He was amazed that no one fell all over him with adoration for such a thought. I will use 2 patron saints of the Democratic party, John F.

Kennedy & Martin Luther King. Both talked about being productive & character/ethical. Look at JFK's inaugural address & MLK's I Got a Dream speech as reference points.

Both of these individuals are more conservative than both the parties are today. As for your blaming wars on conservatives, I don't think you are being just! Human nature exasperated by teaching entitlements has created the majority of violence in the world.

Their is gang violence all over the world that has nothing to do with conservative or liberal politics. Yes we did & do look at the world through Capitalism/Communism, freedom/terrorism, war/appeasement blinders. My Marxist economics professor had PhD & could mathematically prove that capitalism had to fail, but he never even brought up an equation that showed another was better.

Since so many of his students were scared of him we wouldn't ask him to show a mathematical alternative. Most of the technologe that the 1st World takes for granted came from R&D done through the military. We as a society are a bit stupid in that we demand a large quantity to go into production.

I'm not saying the conservatives are angels. If we gave them unchallenged power they too would succumb to power corrupts & absolute power corrupts absolutely. I''m not a good writer so please check out my references & source while you think about what I've offered.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
