Are you ever going to recognize that FIT do not fund the highway system? Just as I thought, you don't have a clue what the tax dollars fund?
Just take out the letter I in FIT and substitute a G.
Feel better? Still a tax.
I would feel better if taxes were used for their purpose and not put on budget to spend on whatever they want

I guess we can all agree that tax cuts don't stimulate the economy.
So let's start with repealing the biggest cuts first.
Wow, we all believe tat tax cuts don't stimulate the economy? Where did you get that idea? Further what do you do when you get more spendable income from tax cuts? Think about it and its affect on the economy.
We'd all feel better if you'd post a link proving your statement. (not a far-rightie blogger, please. We don't give two craps about the conspiracy theories spewed out Malkins trap)
Hey finebead, how you been? I have a question for you. My understanding is that WWII spurred a huge manufacturing effort to sustain our military, and if what you say is true that we suffered a recession immediately following the war due to that dropping off, then what pulled us out? Could it be that an equally strong demand for goods such as houses, cars, durable goods, textiles, ag products etc. all manufactured in this country did that trick? If so then it was American business, and manufactured goods that spurred economic growth, not government nannyism.

Um... SAVE. According to ALL economists.
You realize a good part of the stimulus was tax cuts... or maybe they don't teach that on Fox.
It's the 'hurts' the economy part of this hackery that is so laughable.
Anything that takes cash out of the hands of the taxpayers is detrimental to a private sector economy
You do realize SS puts cash into taxpayers hands.
Do you realize that your employer and you contributed to SS that you receive when you retire?

The answer to our economy is to recognize first it is private sector driven, second that individual responsibility exists thus consequences for failure, third, social engineering isn't the role of the Federal govt.

Psst........ I'm the employer.
You’re right on the private sector driven economy. Check this graph out,

Notice corp. profits as a % of GDP seems to be going up? It seems to me that the CORP PEOPLE seem to be doing OK though. Especially when you peek at that graph that shows CORP PEOPLES taxes as a % of GDP.
That second graph, the one that shows personal wages and salary as a % of income must make you proud EH?We both know that its not representing the top % don’t we?
What do you consider social engineering? Do you think that stimulating the economy via Keynesian economics as social engineering? If so, you must be frowning deeply about the money we spend on missiles and bombs then.

So then you agree that the Bush tax cuts should be ended, I never thought that you and I would agree
So as an employer you contribute to someone else's SS as well. You don't think cutting FICA affects the money that goes into the SS fund?
I think cutting FICA takes some of the burden off me as an employer.
Kind of selfish for a liberal as apparently you don't care about the shortage in the SS fund
So you think it is right to take someone else's earning and give it to another person? Not sure exactly what your solution is but one would bet it has nothing to do with free enterprise and capitalism. You certainly seem concerned about revenue going to the govt. but not at all concerned about the 3.7 trillion dollar budget. Wonder why?
Fine raise FICA and take money out of my pocket as well as employees. *shrug*
