what about all the folks who don't earn a dime, and simply live off their inherited or earned wealth from past years?
billionaires not paying taxes is frightening.
Obama inherited $9 trillion in debt.
your predictions are very faulty.
they're not "your" jobs. they belong to the people who create them. if you make it too expensive and difficult for them to create them over here, guess what? they will do so elsewhere.
I didn't say they were MY jobs. I said they were OUR jobs.
The rightwing doesn't understand the word "our"
I understand your point and I can respect that. I see it that the GOP does not want to fall for anymore lies about actually cutting the budget.

Let's be realisitic. The govt will never willingly divest itself of power, not even a little bit....
As long as the 2 party system keeps handing us poor choices to vote for, the status quo will remain.
The GOP just wants to keep telling lies about cutting the budget. They always promise to do so, and always fail, even when they controlled Congress and the White House
The figure refers to debt held by the public. Obama inherited 6.3 trillion:Obama inherited $9 trillion in debt.

Me too.
So which party in power has filed to pass a budget for the last two years? Democrats in the Senate? And which party has passed a budget, on time? Republicans in the House.
I think the Republicans should just walk away. Let the one term Marxist president Obama come to them with a plan, in writing. Reject it if it increases tax rates on the people who are already paying. Let him come with another plan. Reject it if it fails to cut the 25% growth in government we have experienced since this regime took control. Repeat until we have a good deal. Or walk away from any deal.
I can see that at some point I will have to walk you through the reasons why I believe the president's core values are Marxist. My believe stems from my experiences in the Army as a military intelligence officer. During the 1980s I spent a great deal of my time reading Marx and Engels. Marx had a theory but he had no real world experiences. I moved on to Marxism-Leninism. This was the embodiment and an extension of Marx's pernicious theory, applied in a real place with real (tragic) consequences. Given that Mao Tse-tung (sometimes spelled Zedong) was also very influential I read what I could of his writings as well.Changing someone elses post does rank right up there with labeling a president a Marxist.
Sure they'll move their companies to other countries, and are doing so. As well, they're moving too. I meet them regularly.
It happened to the UK, it happened in Canada and now it's happening in the States. It's been going on since taxes were invented.
Maybe that should be taught in schools.
constantly spewing a stockpile of propaganda or rants that prove nothing and then are cited dishonestly to say they prove your point is rather worthless. I don't believe the stuff you post is either objective or necessarily objective. For example, tax cuts do cause deficits. and its republican spending that causes deficits. The best you can do is blame the middle class for being parasites. Its the stupidity and corruption of rightwingers that causes the deficits

There are those who feel the money they earn should be theirs, and any unreasonable demands by government will either discourage them from earning more, or they will leave for a more friendly environment. At one time that friendly environment used to be the United States.
when you say tax cuts cause deficits rather than spending you pretty much have left the realm of reality
how does someone who inherits money not pay any taxes? are you saying they just take a lump sum of money (that was subjected to confiscatory death taxes) and do nothing but spend it? so what. how does that hurt you?
It's the Houses' responsibility to pass a budget, and not just any budget. They have to pass one that has a chance of geting through the Senate.
Many believe that the rich and corporations exist to fund the needs of others and when a corporation or a wealthy person moves away to avoid being looted, the parasites and their panderers claim that such a movement is "betrayal"
that is one reason why the left abhors states rights and want a huge federal government-if welfare and other handouts were left to the states as the founders intended, any state that became too greedy would quickly go bankrupt as the wealthy would leave as the dependents and welfare addicts would swarm in.
it would keep any one or a few states from becoming too generous to the non-producers and too hostile to the earners. the left despises such a system and wants the federal government to impose redistribution nationally
tax-cuts without an equal amount in spending cuts, means a higher deficit.
its simple logic.
And none of those companies cite taxes as the reason why they outsourced. They do it because they can get cheap labor.
No. It wouldn't. Again, there is really nothing more than lip service to anyone actually wanting to solve the problem, especially in the states. Those who make money, want cheap labor. As long as that is true, there will be a place here for illegals.

It goes against the idea that in America, you are what you make yourself - not what Daddykins and Mumsy bestowed upon you. And that hurts America.
