Reagan and the Tea Party
| Tue, 04-05-2011 - 9:51pm |
The presidential administration of Ronald Reagan revised the tax code and supported increasing taxes on corporations and wealthy Americans. The Tea Party, who purports Reagan to be one of their predecessors, actually supports the opposite: that is, cutting taxes on the wealthy and corporations. In some sense, then, Tea Partiers might be said to be even further to the right of President Reagan.
How do you suppose Tea Party members might reconcile this difference? And what do you think about taxes on corporations and the wealthy?

The Reagan platform was one where people prospered in a unified manner moreso than with other Republicans of that era's clique.
Abortion is a Constitutional right?
*** Just as no one can force you to put your body in harm's way, the same goes for forcing women to undergo a pregnancy against her wishes. The fact of the matter is that pregnancy is a risky proposition for women and they either choose to risk their body and health to carry a child to term or they don't.
Actually, by my logic you wouldn't be...hence my explanation that you wouldn't be.
You aren't proactively killing someone else when you refuse to donate a kidney.
It's funny that liberals consider abortion to be a "right"...when the reality is that they enjoy that "right" by intentionally taking away someone else's right to life.
