What about independent parties? I'm 13 I wouldn't know at this age. aren't you 9 though? Just because you're parents are something doesn't mean you have to be the same.

But why do you like it? You can't just say I like "_____" for no reason.

When you're old enough you could be voting for the downfall of America. =P

Democrat, and no, it's not because my parents are. I do have the capability to think for myself.
Why are you a democrat?
I am for progression and spending money to make money. I couldn't care less if the rich are taxed to death, they have enough money already. I don't want to bring abortion into this because it's a touchy subject, but I believe it should be allowed for the first early weeks of pregnancy. I'm for protecting the environment.

@Garret: that wasn't aimed at you. I'm just sick of people thinking I'm an idiot just because I'm 13.
Jus makin sure ;)

and it's not just the rich being taxed to death anymore, it's the people in the higher tax brackets, which aren't necessarily rich. And the people in the lower tax brackets are getting by with very little tax
Th people in the lower tax brackets make up most of the population. They shouldn't be taxed much, because if they were they couldn't buy stuff. This, unfortunately, is a very consumerism based economy, which requires constant spending to be successful.
What about all the people who worked harder when they were younger so they could make it through school and get a good paying job? Why do they get punished when the people who didn't take school seriously get it off easy? How is giving the poor a lower tax going to teach them how their lesson about the importance of knowledge?

Spending money to make money? Haha! So the trillion dollar debt we're in means nothing. Right? And I agree with the tax rate, because if everyone is taxed the same, someone might lose. But still, spending money to make money does not work. And that didn't answer his question...
The country's deficit is my biggest economic concern, because it's what I'll inherit. However, Democrats fit my values much more than republicans for most subjects.
Then don't say Democrat, just say Independent. That means you can chose your ideas instead of having them laid out in front of you like being a republican or a democrat. I'm an Independent more than Conservative... I don't always agree with Conservative...

Getting a good education doesn't guarantee success. My family found that out the hard way.

Minnesota allows a split ticket, however, many states don't. When I move to another state, I'll probably have to affiliate with a party.

Actually, the tax rate is another controversial subject. Right now, more than ever, we need to lower taxes, for everyone. With people getting laid over because of this economical crisis, we shouldn't have taxes. The government is taking people's money (democrats/obama association) and everyone's going into debt. Also, the bailout was the worst idea ever conceived.

I do agree with that also. I think it should've been a stimlus package for the middle class, with just enough taxes for infrastructure, defense, and all the essentials.

layoffs etc..

the governmet needs to help the middle class becuase we make up the majority of the usa's economy
 
I'm really surprised this didn't turn into a flame war. :O

That means... TBT had an intelligent discussion! :yay:
