Sorry, Mr. Porter but you aren't quite right there. A little bit more than half of all personal income tax in both the States and Canada are paid by the rich.
I think it was (in his mind) a humanitarian gesture to assist them on their journey by speeding up the process.
I could see where one might think that way for a minute after having a couple of "Sunday morning visitors" peddling literature knocking on the door..:lol::lol::lol:
"No, you have no facts, you assume just as I am assuming, you're not fooling anyone, you're trashing him just because of his political party,"
What is wrong with trashing someone just because of their political party. That along is reason enough.

No nothing wrong with that, it's just too bad that the politics get mixed up in
everything, and people are called names or accused of 'something or other' because they belong to the political party you don't like. The two points get
mixed up together. All of the republicans will say he is a hypocrite and all
of the democrats will say he isn't, doesn't prove anything but 'who' likes one
party or the other, and doesn't prove if he 'is' or 'isn't' actually a hypocrite.
Hence, the point I made earlier, if he was a republican, all of the opinions
would be the opposite.
I don't know where you get this idea that people are trashing Gore because of the party he belongs to. He's a hypocrite and he would be a hypocrite regardless of his party affiliation. I think you like him, you like the Democrats and you are defending him because of that. Not everybody is like you. I think Gore is a hypocrite and I think Rush Limbaawww is a hypocrite. Makes no difference to me which way they swing.
What about people like me that don't support either?How do you account for us?
No, I would still call him a hypocrite. I base that label on his actions, not the party he's in. You should try judging people on their actions as well. It can be somewhat liberating.
Yep, it sure is a coincidence isn't it how people with the exact same political beliefs happen to have the exact same religious beliefs. At the peril of being accused of hate mongering I'm going to say there is very little of either, that I believe, beyond the fact there is a "God" or supreme power but I don't think that pertains to politics...............:lol::lol:
The system needs reform, not a government take over. The government is full of corrupt politicians who get themselves richer and richer...and the liberals just worship at there feet like they are the gods in government. At what point in our life did they decide that we are helpless and cannot take care of ourselves? And we need some government burocrat to help you and make your decisions for you....Why is it the liberals want to sacrifice who we are as an individual to be part of the collective? Some people work harder than others, some people have more desire than others, some are more willing to take risk than others, those people should be rewarded, not punished. Eventually the whole country is going to look like CA, broke and buried in a huge government autocracy with no way to pay for it. We cannot raise taxes high enough to pay for what CA is doing. The great liberal experiment is a total failure. All you have done is replace people's ambition with dependency. Still we keep voting into national office those fools who helped bankrupt the state of California.
You've pretty well put my entire philosophy in a nutshell- BUT I think there has to be a humanitarian side for things like seeing to the well being of children, and those with physical and mental defects- but always looking toward a goal of all people being successful and self-sufficient to the best of their ability. There has to be some compassion for the broken man but in the way of a helping hand - not pity.
They always had compassion for the broken (out of work) person, it was to take care of them for 6 months while they actively had to look for a job. They did grant extensions if they could prove that they were really looking. All that changed though in the early 1960's has since evolved to what we have now.
Can't speak for Canada, but here in the USA we are a lot happier and more optimistic about our future when there's a Dem in the White House. In fact many of my former Republican pals have either left that party or stopped voting altogether as they are mightily disappointed in the GOP.
Boy Gopher you sure have a way with words. Here in my area the Republicans have shrunk in spite of the population growth. Many are very disenchanted and Newt and his crew are not the answer to the fix they so desperately need. The recent record of misdeeds by some of their best and brightest doesn't help either. Right now the Registrar of Voters roles reveal there are a lot more registered Independents and I'll bet that is where the former GOP members are heading to.
I would bet a lot of people are going "unenrolled". It used to be called Independant until the Independant Party was formed. I was a Democrat and changed to "unenrolled". I was a Democrat because my parents were and I was a Union Member at one time but changed.
Here goes one source of clean energy, sure everyone wants to build the 'Wind farm", but no one want to build the new infrastructure needed to trnsmit the power. Pickens talked the walk, but couldn't walk the walk.
Reuters) – Texas oil billionaire T. Boone Pickens has called off plans to build the world's biggest wind farm in the Texas Panhandle, the Wall Street Journal said.
Pickens said the wind farm project was scuttled partly because of the lack of adequate transmission lines to carry the electricity from remote locations to cities, according to the paper.
