If that theory was correct then the US would have a multi trillion surpus right now not a multi trillion debt because taxes have been going down since George W Bush came into office. How low do taxes have to actually get before this magical tax reduction = revenue increase effect actually starts happening? It'll never happen. It's a delusion. The economy is only going to grow to a limited extent because there is a limit to how many goods and services people want. Reducing taxes isn't increasing revenue now and it isn't going to in the future. |

There is no "magical" low of taxes that increases the economy as the economy is always changing as are the attempts to get it into action. Reduction of taxes has a long history of success, and failure. But you seem to understand only "Raise taxes" and pay for ones deficit. If one raises taxes to much it stymies the economy. How high is "to high"? Well that changes all the time as the economy changes. I happen to agree that raising taxes is not the way to fix the problem, it's only a short term solution that will raise capital in the short run by stymie the economy and cause further recession in the long run. But mine is simply an opinion that the government of Bush and Obama have likewise endorsed through thier actions. Its worked and it's not worked. The deficit continues to grow and the problems are bad but should we continue this tact of restoration or should we drop it and try another? Dunno because the problem is so very large and so very complex. Your simple solution might be the one, but I kinda doubt it. So much for economics and back to WWIII. Shall you explain yourself now on the details of your armaggedon philosophy? So far your blunt and vague suggestions have not formed a picture beyond simple black paint on a canvas! This is your thread after all, will you not delve a bit deeper and show us your brilliance in seeing the end of the world? Or are trolls common in your part of the country side? |

Or if neutering was an option. There are several benefits to neutering one's male animals, not the least being that they are so much more mellow and less inclined to fight. I bet there would fewer wars and a lightened load on the prison system. It's all chemistry, in other words. I also wonder if some of the fanatics who are hoping their personal god will kill everyone but them would get on some medication, they might have their world view changed right along with their own chemistry and moods.
Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones. Marcus Aurelius

That's you accusing me of being a troll. That means I'm done with you. |

Can you be done with the rest of us too? And this silly thread? I really think that you are "done" with whisper because he tried to give you an ecconomics lesson and you don't want reality to intrude upon your imaginary scenarios.

In your dreams. I'm serious. You seem to be clinging to imaginary stuff rather than embracing life. I wonder what is going on in your life that is so bad.

Is there really any difference between praying and longing for some religious event to happen and praying a longing for something out of a non-religious book to happen? Is there any difference between believing that if you could just find the right magical wardrobe, you could reach Narnia and believing that a god-like being is going to scoop you up and take you (or take away everyone you don't like) and you will find yourself in a magical world where everything is wonderful and everyone likes you? I really don't think that there is, even though some adults think one is childish and the other is "real."

My predictions are based on Bible prophecy, which cannot fail to come true. God will not let His chosen people be exterminated. Israel and the west (led by the US) will win. |
