Bob, what do you mean, you homophobic racist?

Peter, I am not sure what the financial implications of that are. The baby boomers are retiring, so social security and medicare are already facing a crisis-level shortfall. In general, I am all for cutting taxes to stimulate the economy, though. And it’s better to give people tax relief for money they earn than to give them handouts, obviously.

“Why not let conservatism go head-to-head with liberalism, progressivism, social democracy, or whatever you want to call it? Why not let America hear the best arguments on both sides and make a choice?”

Because leftist always suppress the opposition. Just look at China, North Korea, Cuba, the USSR, and most of Latin America. It’s just what they do. Unfortunately for leftists here, most of the military is conservative and us civilians are pretty well armed. Killing and jailing us not an option, so marginalizing is the only option.
Besides, when was the last time you heard a decent argument from a liberal? They state their position and then call you names when you disagree.

As a true conservative what do you think of the idea of a ‘payroll tax holiday’–one year–to also help jump start the economy and give working class people some RELIEF (NOT welfare)?
