Biden says pay more taxes and be a patriot
by gmajesko

I was driving the car and almost went off the road with rage. We have had lying cheating weasals on both sides of the aisle, the latest being Rangle who never paid taxes on income property given to him by lobyist. I DO NOT CARE WHETHER YOU ARE A DEM OR REPUB BUT IF YOU WANT TO PAY MORE TAXES TO A CORRUPT SYSTEM YOU ARE A MORON.

We need to cut spending. We need to cut jobs and lifetime mealticket benefits in the public sector on Federal, State and Local levels. If you work in these sectors you hate me for this suggestion.

This nation was not invented based on a lifetime mealticket. Our nation is based on what you can contribute and what you can earn on your hard work. Unfortunately we have morphed this into billions of dollars paid to Wall Street insiders who are just as corrupt as the Public sector. We also have Corp execs who get paid bonus for losing money for their corps.

This is absurd as is paying benefits to school administrators who took us from number 3 in the world to number 25 in education.

STOP PAYING FOR INCOMPETENCE AND WHATEVER YOU DO- DON'T THINK PAYING MORE TAXES TO FINANCE CORRUPTION IS PATRIOTIC.

OK. How about the first job we cut is yours?

well one thing is clear Mr Rage

putting that 40 year old rusted out old Dodge into the ditch means you certainly won't be paying any additional taxes. Who would have thunk one can buy gasoline with food stamps any hoots.

He's just an inarticulate stooge that can't create any intelligent discussion. He posts this drivel thinking he's accomplishing something. In reality, all he's doing is proving merit to the saying, "Simple minds have simple thoughts."

I find it hard to beleive that we can pay off the enormous debt that bush has run up without some additional tax/income from somewhere.

How do you propose paying our debt without more money?

One way; quit spending money on items we don't have to have.

Federal courts; close 'em.

Federal departments; close or minimize them.

Armed forces; shut 'em down.

Public works; end 'em.

Of course, this is the Ron Paul way, and would drive us into a depression that would make 1929 look like the best year of the Clinton era.

That is the question that Obama and McCain won't answer. To tell the truth means losing the election.

Lets all pretend we are grown-ups.......whoever gets elected will have to raise taxes or we will have to endure bush's debt for years to come. Wake up and smell the coffee.
Re: Biden says pay more taxes and be a patriot

Not a whacko, just proving a point; the only way to reduce our debt without raising taxes is to shut down all of government except the IRS.

Ergo, we have to reduce expenses and raise income... that means more taxes, not less.

let's make it voluntary like the military
by gmajesko

If you want to sign up for killing terrorist OK.

If you want to sign up to pay more taxes OK

VOLUNTARY----NOT MANDATORY

Michigan tried BO's formula and now has highest unemployed
by gmajesko

When you raise taxes, you drive cash flow out of your state or your nation and cause unemployment.

Why? All investors want the low cost producer of goods and services and higher taxes mean that your cost are higher and must layoff or cut to break even----Econ 101

Re: Michigan tried BO's formula and now has highest unemployed
by Datslife

Like I said:

Why don't you set the example and cut your job? When you do so and attempt to go to the unemployment office it will be closed (at your behest).

Re: Michigan tried Econ 101.....?
by Chief

When we allow jobs to be send overseas we lose business[s]......The auto industry has been out classed/sold by Japan for years and they have done nothing except make more junk for the consumer.

Welfare [lower taxes] for business only helps the CEO's who take the money and run.

Business did just fine under the Clinton administrations tax policies...weather you admit it or not, it's a fact.

First of all, your numbers are nonsense; you are comparing apples and oranges. We educate all the students; other countries educate the elite only.

Secondly, if you want to bitch about low scores, find the parents of those who score low. There is the problem.

The parents do not make the students work, they do not value--truly value--the free education that their children receive. They whine if the students get homework; they whine if the teachers and administrators correct their special little angels; they whine unless their students get A grades for C- work.

You want to tell those parents that they are failing their children? Get right on the job, Grammy. That is the real problem in education in America.

Pogo said it: "We have met the enemy, and the enemy is us."

If you want to do more than bitch, sign up to tutor a student after school. Within a week, you will see what is really the problem in education. The student you volunteer to help will not show up for study sessions.
