What would liberals do if the rich left America? Who would they get taxes from?

And where would the rich go that would tax them less, where they could live with the same level of comfort and safety???

Are all American liberals poor? Including liberal celebrities that earn more in one month than most people's wages? Also, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't welfare more to do with socialism that liberalism (is there such a word). From what I understand, people who are liberals believe everyone should be free to make their own decisions (like the abortion decision you mentioned) and socialists are those who believe that we should help one another in society (like the welfare idea you mentioned). Not necessarily the same thing. Where are you getting your information? Where are the statistics/journal articles/ reputable news sources (Please don't say Fox) that say all or most liberals do not contribute to American taxes and that they "don't want to work and earn their own money" as well as reputable sociology/psychology that show that liberals are self-important? I don't mean to offend, it's just that this seems more like opinion than fact to me. As a side note (feel free to ignore this): I don't understand why welfare is something that's "greedy". Sure, sometimes it can go horribly wrong - when the system used to give out welfare is incredibly flawed - thus leaving obnoxious people who feel entitled but not all the time. Sometimes, life can just hit - you can get incredibly sick and have three kids to feed, so you need a helping hand for a little while until you get back on your feet and contribute to society again through taxes.

If only the greedy Illuminati pigs would leave. Then we would have a congress free of lobbiests that could do the same services on about 30% of the current budget. Screw the wealthy elite and the conserv mental deviates who enable them...

Liberals pay more in taxes than conservatives do...if all the liberals "just left", YOUR standard of living would plummet! Strange but true: http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&gcx=c&ix=c1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=red+states+blue+states+federal+dollars The problem with "conservative thought" is that it strongly appeals to Bubba, and Bubba ain't got no money...so he's feeding at the Federal trough... (Try not to forget that stalwart Red state TEXAS sucks harder at the Federal teat than almost any other state!)
