No More Corporate Welfare!
Posted: Apr 8, 2011
I know it's not realistic to think that we could ever get to the point where people would pay the taxes they are supposed to pay, but that would solve our budget problems and nobody would go hungry. The middle class would have more money to spend and we would buy things from the big companies who make them. We would all save money because we would be driving on better roads, not tearing our cars apart, children will be getting a better education and not have to move in with their parents when they're grown, and older people can afford not to get kicked out of their nursing homes. People won't lose their homes when they get seriously ill. That's just a start of the good things that could happen if those loop holes were plugged.
;
But how many of us little guys can afford the PR messages these guys buy? - We are losing that battle
[ In Reply To ..]They have the money to promote any idea they want to promote, and if they say it enough times, the general public will believe it. At least many will. Some of us have realized that they aren't using their bail-out and tax rebate monies so they can hire more people. That's the biggest lie of all.
It wouldn't solve the budget problem - - Billie
[ In Reply To ..]it would alleviate but we have expenses other than spending, such as interest on borrowed money for the wars, payments to veterans, wounded soldiers, and now the dollar is declining quickly. Our ratings agencies still haven't been held accountable for giving AAA ratings for bundled garbage loans that were sold around the world. Other countries do not want to invest in US now because our money has not real value. There is nothing sound about QE. The currency is likely going to fail and many people in the US will be doing without.
...not to mention we are in hock to China. - So you not agree that
[ In Reply To ..]spending cuts are necessary now? We are to the point that we must?
Yes - China paid for two wars, not sure how - Libya is being paid for.
[ In Reply To ..]We're also still paying for a multi-trillion dollar Medicare prescription plan which will cost more if the "donut hole" indeed closes. The budget cuts are a drop in the bucket. It is just interesting and disheartening to see how it is all such a political drama instead of a true effort to save money.
Getting the wealthy/corporations to pay their fair share is a start - At least it would be a start in the right directio
[ In Reply To ..]We can't fix everything instantly, but at least getting some fairness in having all of us who have money, not just the middle class, pay equally, that will be a good start. Then we can go from there.
Talk about beating a dead horse - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I don't believe you will find anyone on this board who disagrees with making corporations and the wealthy paying their fair. However, their fair share is not by raising their taxes. There are still loopholes they can use to get out of paying a lot of money while the rest of us will continue to get screwed.
Get rid of the loopholes!!!

A common complaint in today’s world is one of disconnection. Our industrialized world has resulted in less contact with community — we don’t know our neighbors or who grows our food.

The corporation-worker structure today is a master-servant relationship. We’re slaves to the company, working longer hours for less wage ...

For example, Clinton’s 2008 campaign co-chair, former Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz rescinded a DNC ban enacted by Barack Obama in 2008 on donations from lobbyists and SuperPACS.

Big Oil WelfareMay 18, 2011
The Senate blocked a bill Tuesday that would repeal about $2 billion a year in tax breaks for the five biggest oil companies.

A senator's job is to represent the people of his state, and that is what they are doing. However, I do fault MOST of the Republicans for voting ag ...

Americans For Prosperity Is A Social Welfare NonprofitMay 13, 2013

Targeting based on any predjudice is unacceptable (i.e., churches during Bush Adm that were audited for sermons that were interpreted as anit-war). I was warned when I itemized one year that claiming a home office was an IRS red flag and to be absolutely within the defiition of a home office because they have progr ...
