I think it's time to stop sending billions of our tax dollars over seas to help other countries. I think it's time to stop spending our tax dollars on people entering our country illegally. Our tax dollars should be spent on helping fellow American tax payers first.

Colonel David Crockett was schooled by his constituents; It's not Congress's Money to Give Away...
since this political thread has been brought into YRC (and it has its own forum), I might as well agree partly with you, and post a solution:
End Baseline Budgeting that requires a 7% spending increase every year or be deemed a cut. Go Zero Base Budgeting, where every dollar spent is a 100% increase.
Stop taxing income; Repeal the 16th Amendment, and (17th, which turns the Senate into Mob rule by Party, instead of following their state legislature's intents, as the Constitution requires) and go with the Fair Tax!!!

By eliminating withholding, every taxpayer gets to keep his Entire paycheck. By having no corporate tax, the USA becomes the lowest taxed nation in the world, and companies flock to our shores to set up business, which hires more workers, and- because of competition for employees, raises payrates. The poor get Prebates to pay the amount of taxes they would pay on the consumption tax. It's a Win Win Win!
Eliminate withholding, Move election day to the same day state (or Federal, if they still exist) taxes are due. Pay taxes in the morning, vote in the afternoon, remembering who just spent your tax money. Things would change in one election cycle!
I hope you realize that everything you post was written in 1848 by Karl Marx. Translated into American English, it's almost word for word, at times. The classic us vs them, protelariat vs bourgeoisie.

In The Ten Commandments, it's called Envy, and defined as a Sin.

And to just retire in comfort and no worries would be nice.

I have 31 years this month. I'm done. Stick a fork in me and let me retire in comfort and not be a burden on anyone. (I know. Bailout by taxpayers (me) or foodstamps)
Sorry. Off the top of the head rant.

We went from pension plans to Karl Marx? Somewhere this thread made a left turn at Crazy Town.

It wasn't the La Purchase. If you read the article, it was building a house for a military man's widow. There is nothing in the US Constitution that calls for other people's wealth being taken to benefit someone else. That line of thinking comes directly from the Fabian Socialists, and Karl Marx.T
The Louisiana Purchase? That wasman!
You're the one that paraphrased Marx, so why are you questioning it?
Insurance companies can and do fail when events take place that were over and above what was anticipated/planned for - floods, natural disasters, etc. No guarantees in life, even when the premiums are paid.
Because I'm sitting in a truck, board out of mind waiting on my meet and turn driver, I'm gonna go all intellectual on you. So hold on this could get bumpy.
Working class wages are set in post-tax dollars not pre-tax dollars.
For example, let's say you make 80k a year and pay a 50% tax rate. Your take home is 40k. Now let's say your taxes are reduced to zero, and, wall la, your take home is now 80k.
But -- and here's the kicker -- the company knows that you are willing to work for 40k a year. Now, what do you think any CEO worth a dam will do in that situation? He's gonna reduce your pay to 40k because that's (barring a Union contract) the market price of your labor.
Likewise and forthwith, when income taxes are raised on wage earners the same thing will happen only in reverse. Your pay will go up so that your take home pay remains at market value.
Fortunately, we belong to a union so our wages are protected from "free" market forces to a certain extent.
Dam, this truck won't idle. It keeps shutting off on me. Where's my union representation when I need it? I'm fileing on this :
:. I deserve post and pre tax A.C.I know every bit of what you said Trip. Now that we have that out of the way what do you think the government will do in regards to the funding shortage of the PGBC?

The huge flaw in your argument is that the cost to the company is the same in both cases - they are paying 80k to the employee with no tax just as they are to the employee with 50% tax. So the employee is not working for 40k as you contend.
I honestly don't know Bart. We seem to be living in a time where everyone expects to be made whole regardless of what caused their issue. I don't know if there is a good solution to every unpleasant event.
But no employer will pay 80k to an employee who is paying zero in taxes and taking home 80. because the employer knows the employee will do the same work for 40. The employer will set the wage according to the take home amount -- the post tax amount.
CEOs may be greedy, but they ain't stupid.
Bill Dollars may be an exception to that.
The hard part today is plannnig on what the hell we do have the pension went sour the backup isn’t looking to good and then Social Security is started to smell a little!! Three deep people thought they had something at the end of the day!
Dude
Dude, I'm just messing with you. I appreciate your keen interest in U.S. history. I enjoy a good history lesson myself. You should look up the connection between Abraham Lincoln and Karl Marx. Fascinating stuff.

Ok, just show a little research to back your position.
