Posted: Apr 25, 2010

Let's take away the tax-exempt status from religious organizations. Imagine how much revenue that would provide! Problem solved!

I have been saying that for YEARS! AMEN - to that! It would be

You think THAT will pay for all of Obama's trillions of dollars of debt he is putting us in? The way you take care of our economy is for government to butt out!!

Government should NEVER be doing what it is doing right now and it has been far too involved in our lives for a very long time now. Obama is just pushing the decline of our free society faster than ever now.

The easy fix has NOTHING to do with government, which amazes me that you don't know that. You actually think paying MORE taxes is the answer. MORE taxes = MORE government! We do not need more government. By all means, explain to me why we need bigger government again and how religious organizations paying taxes is going to fix this mess our government has put us in?

Remember, GOVERNMENT is the problem, not religious organizations. By all means, explain to me what a religious organization ever did to you that COST YOU money?! At what point in your life were you FORCED to pay money to a religious organization?!!

Has a religious organization ever FORCED you to buy something just because you breath every day?

Like all businesses...religious organizations should be taxed! - Charo

Maybe you would like to explain to me why they should be exempt from paying taxes?

Yep, let's go after big old bad religion 'cause Obama's about - to run after people to go after!! NM

Is President Obama ever going to stop blaming the Bush administration for the mess we are in. I don\'t care who caused it, it needs to be fixed. Besides, I thought we had a democratic congress??? I just wish he would stop the blah, blah, blah, Bush, Bush, Bush, and get on with doing his job to the best of his ability. He does not give the American people enough credit. We are smarter than he thinks. November will be a landslide. I actually wish ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy unexpectedly shrank from October through December for the first time since 2009, hurt by the biggest cut in defense spending in 40 years, fewer exports and sluggish growth in company stockpiles. The drop occurred despite stronger consumer spending and business investment. The Commerce Department said Wednesday that the economy contracted at an annual rate of 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter. That was a sharp slowdown from the 3.1 percent growth rate in t ...

Has anyone changed their lifestyle to accommodate the downturn of the economy? Just wondered if it was just me. I don't drive as much. My thermostat is switched on to 79 in the summer and during the winter I don't have the heat on at night. Haven't had a new car in years, driving a 2001 Toyota that should be replaced. Buying generics at grocery if brand names aren't on sale. What if anything have you done to spend less? ...

20 Ways The Economy Has Gotten Worse Since Barack Obama Became President By almost any measure that you can think of, the U.S. economy has gotten worse since Barack Obama became president. Unemployment is higher, the cost of food and gas are skyrocketing, the number of Americans living in poverty has spiked dramatically, the housing market is in nightmarish shape and our national debt has absolutely exploded. Meanwhile, Barack Obama continues to prance around the countr ...

We knew it wasn't pretty; these are the gruesome details: To view clip http://www.americablog.com/2010/10/p...h-economy.html Notice Bush's list at about 1:05 of the clip — the cuts will help "businesses that create jobs," those at the "low end of the economic ladder," and "small businesses." The first isn't true unless you replace jobs with profits. The second is just a lie. And the third isn't true unless you replace small businesses with billionaires. ("Repl ...

(Reuters) - Twice as many business executives around the world say the global economy will prosper better if incumbent President Barack Obama wins the next election than if his Republican challenger Mitt Romney does, a poll showed. Democrat Obama was chosen by 42.7 percent in the 1,700 respondent poll, compared with 20.5 percent for Romney. The rest said "neither". The result was different among respondents in the United States, where a slim majority thought Romney would be better for ...

IMF Says Sequester Hurting U.S. Economy, Delaying Recovery As much as half of U.S. economic growth this year has been slashed due to tax increases and indiscriminate federal spending cuts known as sequestration, according to a sobering new forecast by the International Monetary Fund, which urged lawmakers to repeal the cuts. Risks to U.S. growth are "modestly tilted to the downside," the IMF said in its annual report on the nation's economy, as a reduction of $85 billion in government exp ...

As usual, the Henny-Penny-sky-is-falling republicans are insisting that the economy is in the tank because of a weak GDP. Most economists have already recognized that the terrible winter we had is the cause. Last Friday the Dow and S&P 500 closed at new all-time highs and the Nasdaq hit a 14-year closing high. In my neck of the woods, there are billboards on the highways with job advertisements. Just last week there was a job fair where 400 jobs were available. Rea ...

I have a really easy, quick recipe. It's sort of Sloppy Joes, but my own version. Brown chopped meat in a skillet. Add seasoned salt, onion powder, a hint of garlic powder, and black pepper and stir around. Throw in some chunks of Velveeta cheese and stir until cheese is melted all through. Serve on bun of your choice. You can use regular American cheese, but the Velveeta tends to melt easier and clean up in the pan easier. ...

Yes, see how it`s spiraling out of control? See how much it`s growing? Higher and higher all the time? Yes, no. Actually, down is not up. Night is not day, and the deficit is getting smaller. It`s dropped by hundreds of billions of dollars during Barack Obama`s presidency. We are currently experiencing the fastest deficit reduction in several generations, and nobody knows it. We`re in the midst of a major national crisis, self-imposed, brought on by fear and loathing and worry and outrage over ...

Don't know if any of you have ever watched the "Morning Meeting" with Dylan Rattigan on MSNBC (9:00 a.m. Eastern time), but I would highly suggest watching it. He is very angry about what's going on in the economy (from banks "too big to fail" to the "public option"), but instead of bashing Obama, he refers to the culprit as "the government," since we all know when this really started and how many administrations are really involved. Rattigan used to be on CNBC but is now o ...
