Don't you just get tired of the Republicans robbing you?

No matter if you're Democrat or Republican, they take from the poor and give to the rich. How much of this $500 billion a year in defense spending goes to their rich buddies? And they want you to be without health insurance, without Social Security, without Medicaid, without foodstamps, without the necessities of life, as they take every penny of your tax dollars and more and throw it down a friggin' rathole. And they don't want to pay anything themselves - they only want to spend what you contribute in taxes. Don't that make you just a little mad?

Most of the people I know....!!!!

This is a very good campaign point. Why don't they use it? Republicans have been using our taxes to enrich corporations like Haliburton.

Our government has been pocketing the majority of our tax dollars for decades....

Name one major infrastructure improvement in the last 55 years? Why do our cars still only get 18 - 20 miles per gallon? Why has government allowed our country to become a toxic waste dump?

It is all about money.

Between Dems and Reps, Dems definitely look out for the country and its people. That is why I am a Dem. However, they could do alot more.

car gets between 25-35 mpg. Florida has done major building on highway and roads in the last 10-15 years.

It really looks like we've been screwed since oil started backing the dollar instead of gold around 1970. Our government has not been looking our for the country's best interest except for the pursuit of oil in other countries and using the military to back up our need for their oil. There is nowhere to go but down. The repubs led the charge on all of this. At least for the last 15 years, the Democrats haven't done much to stop the train wreck. We would have to change our way of life. No one wants to tells us that. And I bet no one has any idea how to do it.

Who drives those cars?

And, I also want to clarify the 'infrastructure' comment. Roads and highways are only real improvements that have taken place in our society. Why? Because that promotes more travel and gas consumption. And gas taxes pay for those roads.

I think we, as people of the Earth, need to dramatically change how we travel. And, yes, someone or a government has to tell us what to do in that respect. Humans have to realize that we are not the kings and queens of the world. The real king and queen is Father Time and Mother Nature. When global warming/climate change begins in earnest to right it's self, people and animals will die.

We have to change now.

The idea and answer is obvious: we immediately begin to implement solar cells, wind turbines, and geothermal energy sources. We de-implement coal and other pollution causing sources. We immediately migrate to electric and alternative fuel cars. We implement a massive high tech transportation system to reduce the need for auto travel.

It is better to start now while we have some lead time instead of being forced to by necessity of survival.

No one is an exception. To confuse that, with the outright stealing of our money once they're in office, the way Repugnicans do, is either disingenuous on your part, and/or an attempt to use a very popular right wing argument: "Oh the Democrats are just like us."

Not only do I hate their contemptible morality, but their judgement about what's important is pre-homo sapien in development.
