American resources – for American jobs, revenue and prosperity
A frequent refrain during budget and debt ceiling debates is that we need revenue enhancement: higher tax rates, reduced deductions, eliminated credits. But doing this, especially amid today’s massively expanding regulations, will kill more jobs and further reduce government revenues.
Obama Set To Win In 2012
As much as it grieves me to say it, I am STILL convinced that President Obama will win a second term as President of the United States in November of 2012. His win will be followed by the collapse of the United States, as we have known it since it’s founding. Yeah, I know the Gallup pollsters say their poll shows that any GENERIC republican candidate can beat Obama. The key word there is G E N E R I C – not one of the republican candidates running today.
Oil “subsidy” and “tax breaks” nonsense
By Paul Driessen
Subsidies are cash payments from government to the private sector. Money is taken from the 51% of Americans who still pay income taxes – and transferred by legislators and bureaucrats to companies and activities that “deserve” or “require” these wealth transfers, because the recipients perform an important service and/or could not remain in business unless subsidized with other people’s money (OPM).
Quit Scapegoating the Oil Companies!
by Doug Edelman
Democrats in congress love to beat up on the oil companies: those “evil mega-corporations that make obscene profits and gouge us poor consumers.” But while that populist meme might gain them a few polling points with the assistance of a complicit press, any objective analyst of the facts will have to call BS on the entire premise.
Schooling the Uninformed on Taxes, Deficits, Debt and Spending
Ignorance and stupidity, while often misapplied as though they were synonymous, are not the same! Ignorance is a changeable state of the lack of knowledge. Being uninformed does not make one stupid. Stupidity, on the other hand, is an immutable state characterized by a lack of capability to understand or learn.
States must boot Federal Department of Education
No where in Art. 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution does it give the Outlaw Congress the authority to take over education in this country. If the framers of the Constitution meant for the GENERAL government to legislate education, it would have been specifically enumerated in the clauses under Art. 1, Sec. 8. It is not because education is the domain of the states of the Union – an internal operation.
Dems: OK to be “Bi” as long as it’s not “Partisan”
For readers not up on their class warfare, the reason for the revolt is ‘progressives’ are enraged because Obama agreed not to raise taxes on those cruel overseers making over $250,000 a year and he is willing to compromise on how much grave robbing Uncle Sam does to your estate after you die.
Thoughts on the Tax Rate Debate
Conservatives take the position that it is unwise and unproductive (not to mention unfair) to raise taxes on anyone at all during a period of economic turmoil such as we are currently experiencing. Further, it would do damage to the employment prospects of the working classes if more of the income of those in a position to create jobs were to be confiscated in taxes!
McCaskill and Pitchforks: Dissecting the Sentences
If ANYONE wants to get serious about the deficit, the issue is SPENDING, not revenues. As demonstrated every time… Tax REDUCTIONS increase revenues. Tax INCREASES rarely succeed in raising revenues. And Democrat majorities spend nearly $2 for every $1 in increased revenues.
Earmarks Simply Aren’t the Problem
Let me tell you what else it means. It means a lot of federal revenue. Missourians pay the federal government 18.4 cents of taxes for every gallon of fuel sold. This tax is supposed to fund road projects and repairs, and earmarks are often used to return this money back to the state and your district. Do the math.
Rescue and Restore America
If the democrats are successful in punishing the rich with more and higher taxes, do you really think it is they only who will suffer? Do you actually believe they will suffer at all? Of course they won’t. It is you and I, the ordinary Americans of what used to be called the Middle Class, who will bear the weight of those taxes on the rich.
Clean them out from City Hall to Congress!
I tend to believe there will be a deliberate move to “cook the books” in the months and weeks, leading to the election in November, to make democrats look much better than they look today and stave off the bloodletting of democrats in the Mid-Term Election. In 2011, if we are correct, the bottom will fall out of the American economy again.
The State of the Union : #Fail
What you subsidize, you get more of. What you tax, you get less of. When you raise taxes, you slow the economy. Jobs are lost and there are less tax payers. When you lower tax rates, the economy is revved up and there are more taxpayers making more money, and generating more revenue.
Massive Tax Hikes, New Taxes On The Way, America
If I were among the rich of this country, I’d be staying up nights transferring my assets off shore and getting myself, my family, my business, and, anything the government could tax, out of their reach. What the current government of the US is doing to the wealthy Americans is flat out wrong. It is thievery by another name… taxes.
11 Major Corporations Have Moved From the USA in 2009
They may have expected the worse after Obama was elected. Knowing they were going to be subject to more profit-robbing taxes including cap and trade, 11 major US corporations beat Obama to the punch in 2009. They have moved their operations overseas.
