What about the US aid to CHINA! That's right, we send money to China to, among other things, help them quit smoking so that they can live longer.

Our government has become the queen ant, or the severely obese person that keeps being fed by the masses so that they can exist in a safe and controlled environment.

It's sick out there and getting sicker

 

so, raise taxes, duh!

 

Yeah - raise taxes!

 

just make sure to start with the 47% of americans that dont pay any federal right now.

 

I don't mind that some people don't pay taxes; if you are low income then maybe you should not pay. However, I do object to those same people getting a refund greater than what they put into the system.

There is a big difference between helping people grow by letting them keep the money they work hard for, and giving them money for not working. The former gives worth to the dollar, the latter does not.

 

How 'bout we do away with welfare, food stamps, and foreign aid. Then do away with subsidies on ethanol and farms. Then do away with the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Then cut our very high corporate tax rate (one of the 3 highest in the world) down to nearly nothing to encourage businesses and banks to come here, hire people, and invest in building more capital. Then raise the social security age to 76 since it was only designed to help people who lived well past the average life expectancy not outlive their means. Then institute the Fair Tax and let Americans prosper and invest in themselves. And cancel Obamascare.

 

How about every member go out and get one black person involved in the Tea Party

 

so, raise taxes,

 

You can lead some -----s to water but you can't make 'em think.

Or something like that. :grin:
