Quite the forum for gnashing of teeth. I have a bit more biting post on the other computer, but who knows if it will see the light of day. It deals more with the State Budget cuts than this one does. Sorry, this one goes a bit off course.
Hey Hooper, did you know now that Japan has or will be lowering its tax on corporations? The US will have the highest corporate taxes in the world of developed nations! We’re Number 1, We’re Number 1! Whoops. Gee, that 2 Trillion Dollar increase last year was really kept in check by the corporate tax. The same corporations who employ us and screw us at the same time. Thank You Wall Street, Thank You Government, for stealing our money.
Gee just like Bullwinkle said, I gotta get a new hat. Hmmm maybe time to fix the tax system and be responsible fiscally?
We used to be in the middle (corporate tax) not so long ago. I think I read a Drudge link about it. I am being lazy and not posting the link. On second thought, here is a link from the libertarians. http://www.cato-at-liberty.org/u-s-corporate-tax-rate-the-highest/
Well Hoop I AM A REPUBLICAN and I am going to help change my party. I have a brand new pot of TEA brewing. I’m going to BAG some of the old RINO’s and send them into the sunset. The flavor is FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY. No more of this lame duck stupidity (for a month or two anyhow). Ms. Murray is going to get a lot skinnier from less pork in the diet.
Oh Redblack, don’t worry, we need to pay taxes. We need services. But there is a point where CERTAIN people, AND I DO MEAN CERTAIN people need to help themselves. Some cannot and our state and federal government programs can help. Just like certain corporations need to pay their share. Yes, only the Republicans and Rich are evil. How’s Rangel these days? The mistakes of the past are in full view, but Krugman advocating spending even more is just plain nuts.
You rail against the rich or corporations but Locke and the state of washington gave Boeing a SWEETHEART deal a few years back. http://www.seattleweekly.com/2004-07-28/news/airbus-america/ Ouch! Must of been all Republicans. NOT! Tell me it wasn’t so!!
How about a little history. Read about Andrew Mellon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_W._Mellon
Whoa, Fiscally responsible, Kind of hard nosed and eventually saw Hoover to be an idiot. FDR must have considered him dangerous since they went after him.
I love volunteering to coach kids. Had a ball this year.
Finally, JanS, I really feel for you (if you don’t mind). I truly do. I have always felt kids and (sorry to say this but you have said your age before) seasoned citizens should have their healthcare provided for them. Unlike Mr. Zeke Emanuel who says you should die. (Ahem, that would be Rahm’s brother). Now I think many Republicans would disagree with me, but I think the Golden Years should be rewarded. I believe in the individual who played by the rules should be helped in the golden years. I just believe it shoud be states and not the Federal Government.
To all Merry Christmas. And if you would rather me say Happy Holidays, so be it. Now the etymology of the word Holiday . . . In fact I might prefer it. Just airing a slight grievance, don’t you know.
