What are you talking about?! The corporate tax in the US is the highest in the world at 35%! And whats the relevance of it occurring on Fox news?! Although some, very little, of your stories contain no bias in them its the fact that you chose to only air anti-republican ones. Im sure it would be difficult, if not impossible, to find a story from the "respectable" Young Turks that showed the negative left side!
He is right... in a way. The corporate tax rate is among the highest in the world. However, the effective corporate tax rate is quite low. With all the loopholes and tax breaks corporations pay less taxes than most (or all, not sure) European countries. Then there is the issue that cutting corporate taxes has little to no influence economic growth and job creation. Independent studies and historical evidence suggest, cutting corp. taxes will not help.
Lastly, corporate tax isn't income tax. Income taxes have been as high as 94%!!! for top earners without any demonstrable negative effect on the economy.
What the Republicans often forget is that public spending always helps the private businesses as well. Taxing the rich hurts the small companies much less than education, health care and welfare cuts.
When I first saw the captioning I was excited! But then I saw how terrible it was, wow...the mistakes are actually insulting to the story you are telling. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, make your captions accurate. As a professional that works with the Deaf population I cringe to think of some Deaf person reading those captions and believing them. I would lodge a formal complaint if i could. CAPTION CORRECTLY!!!
@daerice you can, the captions are an automatic process done by youtube, complain to youtube, it's actually new technology which is why it's so crap at the moment but hopefully it will improve over time, unless of course somebody sues them. At the moment the captions are only useful as something to laugh at whilst you listen to the actual audio.
@daerice clearly tyt dont do the captions, this is a youtube software issue. someone isnt typing these out, rather software is attempting to make sense of the audio and doing an awful job. siri would sort this out
Very intelligent kid. Dictator will lose in the recall election. As long as the individual is a moderate. Most liksly, he'll be replaced with a Democrat.
Politicians of course are very well versed in lying and in hiding evidences that will link them to any unconstitutional and unlawful and unethical and immoral activities like allowing oligarchial corporacies and their greedy corporate lobbyists to take over and control the government and dictate to them what to do for their greedy and selfish interests like cutting corporate taxes, allowing tax breaks for outsourcing at the expense of small to medium size businesses, etc, the list is endless.
Wisconsin is a very bad case of corporate rule through government that has allowed corporations to rule over it and dictate to it on what it should do to enhance the corporations' avaricious greedy one-sided agendas. The government of Wisconsin has allowed corporacies through corporate lobbyists to take control of the state government in order to cut corporate taxes, etc at the expense of the people. Government should be above corporations not under them for that is OLIGARCHY NOT DEMOCRACY!
We Russians has seen the failures of socialism & communism first hand. Only capitalism will work if it is properly regulated and policed & is made to be self-policing with the government overseeing everything properly under a complete transparency clause written in the laws so as to prevent abuse from being committed from either side. For example: pay living wages and salaries indexed to inflation, prevent corporate lobbyists forming self-serving corporacies inside the government, etc.
WOW!!! HOLY SHIT!--MAN, that kid really gave it to FOX News!! He didn't just Crush FOX, but, I mean he, annihilated them to the EXTREME!!!!! Raise taxes on the rich, YEAH! The kid sure told her! He's a fucking genious. My God! He really let FOX news have it. Evil Greta, just yelling and screaming at that kid; right in his face interrogating the living crap out of him! Then he stuck it to her, "raise taxes on the rich". Lucky break for TYT coming across this interview.
@pansch1138 He spewed the same liberal bullshit. "Tax the rich!". That's because he's been brain-washed by all the other liberal idiots who can't use common sense.
If you think raising taxes on the rich is going to solve anything, you are just as dumb as the rest. Do you actually think they will pay higher taxes when they can just raise prices on their produce/products and pass it along to the consuer -- YOU AND ME, or they can just take their businesses to a foreign country COSTING JOBS.
@CasperCee Casper, a question for U. The US thought it was necessary to invade and occupy 2 countries, Iraq&Afgh. The cost of that folly of tril of $ was covered by borrowing from China and other countries, leaving the bills for the next generation to worry about. Instead, taxes were not raised but cut! Now the bills are due. Who should pay for those wars? Shouldn't it be those who are most able tp pay more?
@CasperCee Ever look at the CBO's estimate of future costs directly related to those useless invasions? No curiosity? Iraq produced 100's of thousands on servicmen & women who will need care for a lifetime. The estimates for Iraq alone are an additional 3 to 5 tril over the many years to come. Bush kept America safe? 9/11 happened on his watch.And he was warned by R.Clark of the hijacked jet scenario. He ignored, and 3K Americans died.Plus 6K more in Iraq, including suicides. Part 1.
@CasperCee Part2. Yes the debt is 15tril. When W began in 2001 it was 5 tril with a balanced budget from Clinton.When he left office it was 12.5 tril. BAD! BTW, Obama created more jobs in 2010(1,1mil) than Bush did in 8yrs.(1mil) At least U recognize Bush's wild spending,on wars based on lies. He has much blood on his hands. Ironically, it was Obama who gave the orders to get Bin Laden&Ghadaffi. That's leadership! Clinton raised tax on the rich, and the result was a balanced budget & surplus.
@Loejyrrab Bush made a lot of mistakes and should have done some things differently. The fact is, he kept America terror attack free for 7 1/2 years. Terrorists & their groups were scared of Bush. Hell, when Bush started the War On Terror, Libya renounced their WMD program without a shot being fired.
Then Obama steps into office and we've had 5 attacks or attempted attacks on our homeland. 2 being successful with the killing of Americans.
@CasperCee Bush & Obama have made mistakes. BO should have ended the Afgh folly 3 yrs ago. W blundered by going there in the 1st pl.(I love Ron Paul's foreign policy).The deal Bush made with Ghadaffi was a sham.He let the nut case off the hook for renouncing nukes that he didn't have.Shame on W he was bought off cheaply .Recall, it was Momar who killed 300 Americans by bombing a US jet over lockerbie.So you're angry at the killing of Americans, Hell, Bush was the Babe Ruth getting us killed.
@Loejyrrab 9-11 would have never have happened if we had a leader as president when the first WTC attack. happend in 1993, our military base (the Khobar Towers) was attacked in 1996, our embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were attacked in 1998, the USS Cole was attacked in 2000, and after Osama bin Laden declared war against America on live TV in 1998 when being interviewed by ABC's John Miller. What did Clinton do? Nothing. It was because of Clinton, bin Laden called our military a paper tiger.
@Loejyrrab ...and to pay for health care for illegals, federal workers making over $150,000 a year has increased tenfold since Obama's been president (that is paid for by our tax dollars), $70,000 was spent on Obama's book "Dreams of My Father" to send as Christmas gifts to send around the world, the list goes on and on how Obama is wasting our tax dollars --- and that includes Michelle Obama.
@Loejyrrab ... Obama did not help Texas after the fires destroyed 1000 homes and cost billions in damage, did not help Nashville after it was drowned by the floods, and he denied FEMA funds to Virginia to help rebuild after their 5.8 earthquake. Yet Obama has spent more than Bush. On what? He wasted over $2 trillion of failing solar companies that have all gone bankrupt, $529 million on an electric car company that isn't going anywhere, is using our tax dollars to pay for abortions and......
@CasperCee You claim that Obama spends too much, you blame him for high deficits but you want his adm to borrow money to give to Teaxas for fires. Did you know that Perry CUT the fucking Texas fire budget from 23 mil to 7, then came to congress with hat in hand. How dare you come here so uneducated and so biased. You claim that Ob blew 2 tril on failed solar.Bogus numbers. Quit fucking lying. After the oil spill, Ob got BP to fund all cleanup and aid costs. Idiot, he saved the country billions.
@Loejyrrab The national debt was about 10 and half trillion when Bush left office. That was after our worst terror attack in American history, one of the worst natural disasters (Katrina), 2 wars, our aid to Indonesia after the tsunami, Bush's record breaking-unmatched aid to Africa to help them fight the HIV virus and 8 years. Obama has added more to the national debt in 3 years than Bush did in 8. Obama cut the help Africa, he did not spend ANY MONEY on helping Florida after the oil spill,
@CasperCee Yes it was 10.5 tril, BUT CCee,The Bush Adm's fiscal year didn't end till 9/30 of the year he left. In that time, the govt was still operating on Bush's budget. Obama's didn't start till Oct 1 2001. Another 1.5 tril got added to Bush's debt load under his bgt..W still remains the largest deficit spender in US history. Also, W inherited a surplus & left a depression for. Therefore Bush added 7.5tril(fiscal yr) Ob, so far,,2.5 tril.Much of that caused by continuing Bush tax give aways.
@CasperCee Also, W did all that spending without ever asking the rich to cough up more.His pres.drug program, a giveaway to BIG ass pharma, which has cost us a tril to date, was also borrowed. Repubs don't believe in paying their freekin bills. Don't give those mooches a credit line ever! Katrina? It was Bush who put a horse trainer, Brownie, in charge of Fema.Blame his boss,W! Negligence on it's face.Abortions have not been paid for by the gov for several decades.Ever hear of the Hyde law?
@CasperCee My final statement to U is this. A recent poll has Obama's approval rating at 42%. The Repub congress is hovering down there at 14%. Your candidates are showing more of their incompetency every time they speak. Their gaffs are astounding. Better get used to it. repeat after me CC, President Barrack Obama, again now, PRESIDENT BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.!!!! BTW, Bush lost 10bil in CASH money in Iraq. No one knows where the money went. Goodbye, I'll read no more of your false crap.
@CasperCee I agree with you brother! I was being facetious in my comment and thought that was obvious. The kid didn't crush anyone. I know how libtards think and it's a mistake for you to even attempt to get through to any libtard on this message board, especially those who watch TYT! For God sake, the false advertising alone ("High Schooler Crushes Fox News") should clue you in on how separated from reality these people are. Momma's boy says "tax the rich", and automatically hailed a hero!
check this shit out!! out of the 5 states the collective b. is deamed illeagal 4 of thoes states are on the bottom for education and the 5th ranked 44th hmmm...
@Rfriddle1977 Your list is the best start on this country I have ever seen if we all want prosperity again. Trouble is, republicans only want prosperity for theirselves and their corporate henchmen. Fuck an unamerican US Chamber of Commerce loving republican. Time to put American values in the hands of patriotic americans and not the republican speculators.
@XMADDMARSX Just curious, but why do you believe that military should be funded to the max? I personally believe we should do everything in our power to help them integrate back into society and provide the best medical care possible, but as for maintaining some globally active presence... I am just not for it.
Maybe I am just an insufferable internationalist, but I don't think you can kill terrorism will bullets and bombs. Diplomacy really should be the way of the world.
"By saying I love tax loopholes and I want them now does not make you more of a conservative"
Your right it doesn't. But here's your delima.
1.)I never said anything about tax loopholes.
2.) The concepts of the Flat and Fair tax structure, which lowers all rates, eliminates all deductions, and simplifies the tax code is always backed up by conservatives, and more precisely, the Tea Party.
It's the Crony Capitalists in both parties that exploit our tax code.
Yes we should tax the heck out of 50 or so wealthy individuals here in Wisconsin. I think we have 4 or 5 major corporations as well. Yes they should flip the bill for all of us. Then again will the numbers add up? I think not!
I think it would be better to just remove the rich from our society. Make a law that basically fines people for being wealthy. Oh wait that's called taxes.
You losers. Don't you get it? I'm offshore on paper. I'll go to NYC, party in Hollywood, ski in Vail and hit the Vegas Strip any time I want.
Got it now, losers?
You only hurt people I don't employ, because I have taken my cheddar overseas to Korea, Macao and other CAPITALIST place, that appreciate and treat CAPITAL deployed in their countries. You pricks.
Actually I haven't heard you say anything concerning the fiscal wrecking ball Obama is swinging thru this country. All I hear from you is "Republicans did this", "Republicans did that", and the standard "tax the rich will solve all our problems" rhetoric. I don't give a damn about party! I want every person that gets up and goes to work to keep as much of it as possible, and I want Washington to live within it's fiscal and constitutional limits and allow the ppl to be prosperous.
@EchoMike03 I want pukes like you to be run out of our country and exiled to china for $12 a day and all the rice you can shit out of that tea party asshole. heheheh
And that's pretty much the response I would expect from a leftitst.
A true representative of a tyranical ideology.
Again, emotion trumps logic and morals. Liberals could create their utopia if it just weren't for that damn Constitution and conservatives who prevent us from redistributing other people's private property.
Actually you'd be more cofortable in China than I would since you subscribe more to their ideology than I do.
@EchoMike03 Good that is always my response to teatards that hate America and want our government torched and burnt to the ground. So we have a stalemate. Teatards that hate the feds first, last, and always and the Dems who hate the republicans that hate the feds. Of course there will be a few republicans that will hold up their end of DC and actually try to govern. But the people out in the burbs are starting to catch on to these catch me fuck me teabaggers.
"Good that is always my response to teatards that hate America and want our government torched and burnt to the ground." Again, a purely emotional, and irrational statement, also laced with an insult.
I've learned not to waste my time on irrational loons.
@EchoMike03 That is pretty much the response I have been getting from republican leaning braindead tards like you that rely on nothing more than random occurances to inject anything constructive into the task of governing this great nation. By saying I love tax loopholes and I want them now does not make you more of a conservative............ it makes you more of a dumbass conservative. But the "blind leading the blind" namely your republican party would be proud.
@EchoMike03 Pardon, but since when was "leftism" a necessarily tyrannical ideology? Extremism on either side of the political paradigm generally results in some form of oppression. To be honest, I would much rather see the "proletarian dictatorship" that was espoused by Lenin than I would the NSDAP platform under Hitler, but neither are desirable.
God forbid we try and help others less fortunate in our communities. It is disturbing just how greedy western society has become.
@EchoMike03 That is pretty much the response I would expect from lying teatards like you. So if the Dems are responsible for the budget before they took office, then the republicans are now responsible for the last $2T we have spent in the last year and half since they own it now. Make you feel better now dumbass. It is your truth. It is quite immature but something stupid fucks like you tend to rely on. That is stupidity to make an argument.
I'm pissed with W and the Republican Congress who abondoned their conservative principals and increased spending and the size of govt. The question is, now that you've listed all these expansions in govt and spending, are you going to assert that same frustration with the current admin? I'm assuming that you are at least twice as mad with Obama for now going on a third year with a Trillion+ dollar deficit, or how he stole from seniors by raiding Medicare to 1/2 trillion.
@Rfriddle1977 Yea I see some republicans trying to do the right thing. But most republicans will not compromise . Dems are nothing more than a rich republican. Therein lies the problem. These freshman republicans are trying to blow our economy up because most of them have very little education and a "my way or the highway philosphy". While the more country club wing will stop at nothing short of having the poor and rank and file among us (me included) pay for any and everything the rich want.
@Rfriddle1977 I totally agree. Republicans do not apologize for starving the beast. From 1994-2006 laws that hurt everyday Americans ended in the worst recession and worst debt since WWII. Republicans would not try to govern on a bipartisan basis because then they would have to walk back their contentions that republicans have never been responsible for anything wrong when it comes to governance. hehehe Yea right. Stupid republicans have always been this countries problem.
Asking people who already pay over one third of the income tax paid in this country to pay more when the problem is spending and not income is ridiculous. But then perhaps the president's definition of fair is different than mine. Of course nothing stops people from sending in more money. I did it for a decade.
@Anglar76 Wisconsin republicans are running away with their tails between their legs. Another Dem wins. And poor Scott Walker.............Na Na Na Na ................Na Na Na Na...............Hey Hey ................Goodbye! People from both parties are not buying the union busting lies by Walker and his Koch sucker Bros. They speculate while middleclass familes pay more for gasoline and walker gets more campaign money. He will need it. Can you say RECALL?
@teabaggersblow Recall. I can say it. If it happens, it happens. Someone please tell me the logic in letting an employee base that does not produce a consumable good or service to which alternatives exist in being able to negotiate workplace benefits the same as private sector unions while that employee base also has the ability to change the person or persons with which they negotiate. Can the employees at Ford change their CEO and have say in who the next one is? Major stockholders maybe.
@Anglar76 I will tell you but party first fucks like you will not understand. A high tide lifts all ships. It is all about money just like when your least favorite CEO wants to assfork some republican politican just because he knows with his money he can.
@teabaggersblow A response I have come to expect from your ilk. Swearing, insults, and dismissal of the topic without answering. Please, sir or madam, tell me the logic in public sector unions. What common good is served by non-privatize capable industries such as law enforcement, fire department, and educators in organizing and collective bargaining to such a degree that their pensions are causing the state to go bankrupt? Note that I am only against the unions which have ceased to be useful.
@Anglar76 By seeing the response from tea party fucks like you, I must say good luck with whatever short sided agenda you have come to support but, IT IS NOT WORKING! hehehehehe Men and women from all walks of life in America should work everyday and twice on Sunday to uphold the right to collective bargain. No problem for you and your ilk just go work in China for $12 a day and all the rice you can shit out of your republican asshole. LMAO!
@teabaggersblow Such an educated response. If labor unions are so great, then please explain why less than 10% of private sector employees belong to one. As for public sector unions, please tell me the greedy people against which they organize. And if unions are so benevolent, then explain why there is a union for the people who work for the various unions. That's right. The people who work for within unions felt it necessry to organize against the people who run those very unions.
@teabaggersblow That is about the same as a person who works for a security service hiring personal bodyguards to watch out for the service acting against that person.
@teabaggersblow If public sector unions, which is what I'm against, ensure the prosperity of local economies, please explain why the cities and states that have the most prevalent public unions are also the ones in the most economic trouble. And I don't care if Walker gets recalled. He's not my governor. You still have not told me the purpose of public sector unions. Against what employer are they protecting themselves?
@Anglar76 So our children's education does not mean anything to you teatard first fucks I suppose. Fire and police protection does not mean anything either. Ok I love the way teatards are against the very fabric this country is made of while every teatard and republican are sewn from whole cloth. And teatards are such whiners. Gover Norquist "A taxloophole is an imposed tax on one of my benefactors so I will have to suck his cock dry everday and twice on Sunday. hehehe whiney teabaggers!
@Anglar76 It is unamerican rice burning cunts like you that fail at everything being an american is all about. Republicans were against propping up the auto industry so you could continue to rape American workers by backing those gooks for 30 cents an hour. Fuck a republican!
@timmmahhhh I wish more of us would speak up about the injustices of the republican party. They screw people now days right in front of the whole world. They used to hide it alot better than they do now. As long as they keep putting their elite benefactors in the drivers seat they could care less as long as the corporate money machine continues to lay a golden egg. The people can turn that egg of gold into a rotten egg at the ballot box. Fuck republicans!
You know I was going to reply back, but since your little Articles of Confederation debacle I'm going to go ahead and drop out of this conversation because you're not a serious minded person. You're rhetoric is boring, and nothing but a bunch of talking points and scare tactics that I've heard over and over again.
You guys are funny, you act like the govt has never operated with less, and every cent is mandatory. Hell just taking govt spending back to 2008 levels would immediately eliminate almost a trillion dollars in spending. And if my memory serves me correctly SS checks and Medicare benefits were rolling out just fine.
We have a spending problem, not a revenue problem.
@EchoMike03 You must be the biggest dumbass republican cod nibbler on record. In 2008 spending by your republican party left the Afghanistan and Iraq war expenditures off budget. Bush and the republicans did this for the whole time they deployed troops in the Middle East. How can you even type republican lies without batting an eyelash. All these same republicans blaming the current administration failed to be truthful about their own yearly budget. Republicans still lie about it.
@teabaggersblow You are even more of a dumbfuck than I originally thought. The two wars that Bush started after 9/11 were never put on the budget from year to year. All the money spent in Iraq and Afghanistan were considered offbudget expenditures. So the deficit as you republican cod nibblers are so much up in arms about never existed on any budget until 2009 when Obama took office. Convenient crock of bullshit by republican corporate ass clowns like you. Fuck lying, cheating republicans! LOL
And again you show the smallness of your POV. The govt is not just SS and Medicare. There is literally an alphabet soup of govt agencies that cantake a little cutting. Hell the EPA's budget alone has gone up 125% since Obama took office, and the fed spending has increased dramtically since 08. And SS and Medicare ppl were being taken of just fine back then. Who said anything about "no fed govt"? Again your emption trumps logic.
Path to a better future- Get a balanced budget amendment, cap spending to a % of GDP, get term limits for congress, reform the tax code by lowering all rates and eliminating deductions, require 2/3 of each house of Congress to raise taxes, then finally take an axe and chop off as much of the fed govt as possible. More ppl keep more of their money, you stabilize the business environment which creates jobs, and makes the US much more competetive in the global market. BooYah!
@EchoMike03 Are you on the ALEC board of fuckees? You got their spill down to a slimey throat and dribble on your mouth. Don't choke on the corporate cum who brung ya. An ALEC mantra.
You mean break the programs that are already boke? LOL Nice try.
1.) SS trust fund was raided long ago, and is running off of IOUs out of the general fund
2.) I would assume then that you are worried about the $500 Billion that the Dems and Obama just took out of Medicare, since you are so worried about the program
3.) Like a typical liberal you immediately jump to the most painful cuts first to make you sure that you scare as many ppl as possible. Nice try though
"raising no revenue " this is exactly why you ppl can't even be taken seriously. The fed govt takes in over 2 TRILLION dollars in revenue each year at this point. It takes in almost 200 BILLION every month. What the hell are you talking about, no revenues?
Just in case your curious $200 billion dollars would equal $50K salaries for about 4,000,000 ppl. Those are the resources you advocate taking. (Rant about eveil coprs holding onto money in 5...4...3...2..)
The wars, yes. TARP/Bailouts, no. So if you're mad at W for his deficits, then you must be raging over the spending that this Preisdent has racked up so far. This guy has dwarfed what W spent in 8 years, in less than three. If you taxed the top bracket even at 100% next year, you'd only get enough money to fund the govt for 10 days, that's how insingifcant, and dishoenst, these tactics are. We have a spending problem, not a revenue problem. The rest of your rant is childish
49% of U.S. households paid NO federal income tax at all, due to the tax breaks and tax rebates for income, children, dependents, so on. Get these middle class and moderate-to-low income people to pay some taxes and we might be in better shape.
By the way, i make about $15 an hour, not exactly a corporate jet owning capitalist pig by any means.
This guy is a joke. "Nice job man, on fox news, wow, nice man." LOL. There is another way of balancing.....tax the already taxed to death.
Top earners are the target for new tax increases, but the U.S. tax system is already highly progressive. The top 1 percent of income earners paid 38 percent of all federal income taxes in 2008, while the bottom 50 percent paid only 3 percent. Forty-nine percent of U.S. households paid no federal income tax at all.
This is a Fact. Look it up. I play in the arena of idea's....and liberals always fumble the ball as they have no means to hold any rational view of economics in the USA system.
@sexyhanson Well, you maybe right. It is abundantly clear that liberals clearly want to move everyone to dependency on the government in one way or another, that is why I only support small government, tax cutting conservatives. All politics is local and all politicians want to server their local constituency to get re elected. Unfortunately that usually means to the politician, how much bacon they can bring back. I just can't get my head around the whole global conspiracy thing.
@sexyhanson I was referring to Dems, they have to lie. If you are referring to the financial crisis, the blame for that goes squarely to the democrats, namely people like Barney Frank, Barbara Boxer, Maxine Waters and rest.
@sexyhanson The Top 10 Percent of Earners Paid 70 Percent of Federal Income Taxes in 2008. In 1980, the top 10 percent of earners paid about 50%. Taxing the rich at some point is going to cost jobs and devastate the economy, and I believe that we are at that point.
@sexyhanson Roosevelt and Lincoln reigned in freedom during a war, sometimes that is necessary and reasonable for national security. And I do understand and sympathies with the motivations and philosophies of constitutionalists and Libertarians, But clearly democrats are all about power over your life in someway or another to the point of "the ends justify the means" and that scares and infuriates me. You shouldn't have to lie to promote your ideology.
As usual, the TYT moron (as well as the ignorant high school kid) are woefully uninformed. "Raise taxes on the rich" is the only solution that these idiots know. You would think that at least one of these morons would have taken an economics class.
The Wisconsin public workers will not loose their collective bargaining for wages, just benefits. The free ride they are getting now is not sustainable, they should have to contribute to their own health care and retirement like everyone else.
@bluegsp no they really do loose collective bargaining. the bill in wi is aimed at stopping unions thats why in the bill it says that unions cant collect dues like they did they have to apply and be "allowed" to collect and even then the worker has to jump threw hoops to be represented so it will cut down on collective bargaining so out of a work force of say 5000 public works only 2000 have a union. its all aimed at the unions gov walker even admited that.
@ransom1wi Unions cannot have the employers withhold the dues from the members paychecks and union membership would be voluntary instead of compulsory. That sounds like freedom to me. If you are saying that 3000 of the 5000 workers would not voluntarily join the union and pay their dues, than that it their choice. Not a mandate from the government. It is always the "liberals" that want to restrict freedom.
for those lacking the common sense to grasp the concept of wealthy vs poor is not a set #. dependents & location have an effect on everyone. 100k is rich for the middle of nowhere montana, but is standard living in NYC for a single in their 20's. 250k is not rich, but is certainly wealthy and anything but poor.
@devoutvalor ther not talking about 250k a year were talking about the top 2% there is nowhere in the us that if you are making 1million a year your scrapping by. If your struggling to pay off that 3rd vacation home i dont feel bad for you.
@DataJackOne Okay but that is actually not true. How will raising taxes on sole proprietorships that make up the MAJORITY of our economy NOT hurt our economy the way it is right now??? You also said that what you said was right and what I said was wrong because yours was factual and mine was not. If you can find solid proof that what you said is right, then I am all for it. But when you tell me that I am wrong without telling me why, that is just ignorant.
@DataJackOne Actually record low tax rate was 1%, top rate was 7%. Of course it was 1913-1915, but even in the years 1988-1990 actual top rate was about 33%. And there are countries that have lower tax rates. Google it. And why do you think that 37% of all recent new jobs created have been in Texas? Maybe the fact that there is no state tax has something to do with it.
Great idea: raise taxes on the rich. Problem is, when you raise taxes on the rich or business, they MOVE! Stop soaking up all the socialist b.s. your teachers are trying to force feed you and learn to think for yourself.
Corporations don't pay tax. The consumer pays the tax for them. Raise corporate tax, your goods and services get more expensive. Raise corporate tax a little more, the Corporations close their plants and more to China.
Raise taxes on the rich and they move their money to a tax haven to avoid paying.
folks, wake up, it isn't liberals vs. conservatives, it's Satan and his followers against the Lord Jesus and those who follow Him. If you follow Jesus then make sure your eyes are on Him and He has your time and attention, there is nothing else nearly important. If you don't love Jesus with all your heart and turn from the ways of this world then you are no different from the very people you debate.
@henrycate you say that like the amount of work being done by both people is equal. Yes, if they were both doing the same job then it doesn't make sense for there to be that much disparity. That's obviously not the case though.
@futbol2009 Of course it's not the case that they are working equally hard. The $100,000 teacher works about 180 days a year: indoor work with no heavy lifting, and paid summer vacations every year. The $40,000 "prole" paying him or her is lucky to get two weeks of vacation per year.
Does that sound right to you?
How about Nancy Pelosi making you pay for her in-flight drinks??
@henrycate They also have to deal with children and make homework for the students and correcting work and checking tests and they also have to spend a big chunk of their weekend checking homeowork, they also have to work in the summers. (Run-on sentence I know but I don't feel like ocrrecting it.) They do deserve that pay..
@futbol2009 I don't understand you. Who are the "both people" you are referring to? Are you trying to tell us that all people are equally productive???? :-) :-)
All you need is a few living brain cells to rub together to crush Fox News or most far right people for that matter. I rarely ever meet a right winger who can even state their position in a logical manner. That's why they bring guns to political rallies, because they have no valid argument so they want to threaten and coerce. I'd love to see one of those Tea Party people blow their own pecker off with their own gun and win a Darwin award for themselves.
@heartfire451 This is not rational political discourse, and you know it. The lack of rational political discourse threatens to destroy our nation. Why are you helping that along??
Great idea! Raise taxes on those who worked the hardest to get to where they are today. Hurt the peoples that went through the education systems, getting a masters degree, starting their own business and hiring Americans. Such a fucking stupid argument.
@adrew1452 I'm looking at getting a masters degree myself even with that I'm not going to make any where near as much as them. Most people who get masters don't make as much as they do. Most of the uber rich don't make jobs they only suck up money like black holes.
I'm glad he was on one of the more rational shows on the Fox News Channel. She let him talk and finish, unlike some people on that channel do... *cough*O'Reilly*cough*.
@FluffyFeralMarmot I think u have it a little wrong, getting rich has nothing to do with working hard, people work harder on the streets everyday just to survive. Getting rich has to do with who your contacts are, usually in privatized tyrannies, called corporations. Don't tell me CEO's or bankers that scheme to get rich work harder than anyone else.
@FluffyFeralMarmot You are absolutely wrong. Most likely a bit daft, as well. The amount of money that small business and the middle class are working for is incredibly small compared to the profits of shareholders and CEO's and multinational conglomerates. The money is hung up in the upper echelons of the economy, making the poor and middle class work harder for less. Now, because of policies that make this happen, we are having a budget crisis. Being rich is fine, being greedy is not.
@FluffyFeralMarmot It's simple math. How do you know birds can fly? That would have been just as silly a question as the one you posed.
If we have a pie with ten pieces, and we give 6 of those pieces to 2 of the 10 people waiting for a piece of pie....then the 8 people left trying to get a piece of pie are going to have a harder time getting a full piece. Judging by the smug question you posed, I suppose this is simple enough for you to understand.
@FluffyFeralMarmot You are truly dense....to the point of idiocy. I'm saying it is not easy to become rich....at all. Even with hard work and good career building. Your statement was that they "worked harder...building their career." In the current economic situation, hard work does not equal money. To say that implies that those that aren't rich are lazy. I dare you to tell an iron worker that.
@LoK3y The average iron worker only has a high school diploma or GED. The average CEO has at least an MBA.
You work hard in school, you get good grades, you get to go up to the next level and make more money. If you screw around, drop out, you get to dig ditches. Very simple.
@FluffyFeralMarmot I'm sorry, clearly your IQ is nowhere near the bare minimum for this conversation. You have obviously never done a hard days work, either intellectual or physical, in your life.
You're living in a fantasy world like most conservatives. I'm reflecting on reality. Grow up and then we'll talk.
@FluffyFeralMarmot Another response because I'm baffled by your infantile mentality. I've known straight A iron and pipe workers. I've known C student six figure businessmen who can't think their way out of a paper bag.
Skill is what sets these two groups apart, but we do not reward skill or hard work. We reward profit. Not only that, but our society does not care about quality any longer and we do not keep the vital professions elevated to the necessary income bracket.
@LoK3y No one "rewards" anyone anything. You go out and earn your place in this world by doing things that other people value. Skill means nothing if you're skilled at something that's commonplace or useless.
Look at average income based on education level. The harder you work in school, the more money you make. If you got straight A's in high school, but then decided to become an iron worker, then you didn't really work very hard on your career, did you?
@FluffyFeralMarmot You, apparently, know nothing about iron workers. That is a profession, like many, that is referred to as "skilled labor."
You're a moron. I'm done with you. You're a typical conservative retard playing semantics with words rather than taking things in context. Congratulations on adding nothing of value to this conversation, and taking away even less.
@LoK3y Okay, explain this to me then: you and I both have the same opportunities, but you decide to become an iron worker and I decide to go to college. 20 years later you are making $18 an hour and I am CEO of a multinational corporation. You want to pay for something, like better schools for your kids, but you don't make enough money. Why do you think you can take MY money to do this?
yes jacob you legend.

@PrincessSybilla77
He is right... in a way. The corporate tax rate is among the highest in the world. However, the effective corporate tax rate is quite low. With all the loopholes and tax breaks corporations pay less taxes than most (or all, not sure) European countries. Then there is the issue that cutting corporate taxes has little to no influence economic growth and job creation. Independent studies and historical evidence suggest, cutting corp. taxes will not help.

Lastly, corporate tax isn't income tax. Income taxes have been as high as 94%!!! for top earners without any demonstrable negative effect on the economy.

@CasperCee Casper, a question for U. The US thought it was necessary to invade and occupy 2 countries, Iraq&Afgh. The cost of that folly of tril of $ was covered by borrowing from China and other countries, leaving the bills for the next generation to worry about. Instead, taxes were not raised but cut! Now the bills are due. Who should pay for those wars? Shouldn't it be those who are most able tp pay more?
Loejyrrab 3 months ago
@Loejyrrab The wars in Iraq & Afghanistan cost roughly $1.5trillion & he kept America safe.
Obama has taken our national dept to about $15trillion & he has nothing to show for it. How are we supposed to pay for that?
Bush had 52 months of job growth. Obama has almost 3 years of job losses. The only jobs he's creating are federal jobs. Many part-time or seasonal.
Raising taxes on the rich WILL NOT cover the cost of Obama's or Bush's spending. To get out of this mess we need private sector jobs.

@CasperCee Ever look at the CBO's estimate of future costs directly related to those useless invasions? No curiosity? Iraq produced 100's of thousands on servicmen & women who will need care for a lifetime. The estimates for Iraq alone are an additional 3 to 5 tril over the many years to come. Bush kept America safe? 9/11 happened on his watch.And he was warned by R.Clark of the hijacked jet scenario. He ignored, and 3K Americans died.Plus 6K more in Iraq, including suicides. Part 1.

BTW, Obama created more jobs in 2010(1,1mil) than Bush did in 8yrs.(1mil) At least U recognize Bush's wild spending,on wars based on lies. He has much blood on his hands.

@CasperCee Yes it was 10.5 tril, BUT CCee,The Bush Adm's fiscal year didn't end till 9/30 of the year he left. In that time, the govt was still operating on Bush's budget. Obama's didn't start till Oct 1 2001. Another 1.5 tril got added to Bush's debt load under his bgt..W still remains the largest deficit spender in US history. Also, W inherited a surplus & left a depression for. Therefore Bush added 7.5tril(fiscal yr) Ob, so far,,2.5 tril.Much of that caused by continuing Bush tax give aways.

You guys are funny, you act like the govt has never operated with less, and every cent is mandatory.

And if my memory serves me correctly SS checks and Medicare benefits were rolling out just fine.
We have a spending problem, not a revenue problem.
EchoMike03 7 months ago
@EchoMike03 You must be the biggest dumbass republican cod nibbler on record. In 2008 spending by your republican party left the Afghanistan and Iraq war expenditures off budget. Bush and the republicans did this for the whole time they deployed troops in the Middle East. How can you even type republican lies without batting an eyelash. All these same republicans blaming the current administration failed to be truthful about their own yearly budget. Republicans still lie about it.

"In 2008 spending by your republican party"
I'm sorry, but weren't the Democratsd in charge of both houses of Congress in 2008?
Those are not Republican budgets. Those are Democrat budgets because they controlled both houses of Congress at that point since 2007.
EchoMike03 7 months ago
@teabaggersblow You are even more of a dumbfuck than I originally thought. The two wars that Bush started after 9/11 were never put on the budget from year to year. All the money spent in Iraq and Afghanistan were considered offbudget expenditures. So the deficit as you republican cod nibblers are so much up in arms about never existed on any budget until 2009 when Obama took office. Convenient crock of bullshit by republican corporate ass clowns like you. Fuck lying, cheating republicans! LOL

@Rfriddle1977
And again you show the smallness of your POV. The govt is not just SS and Medicare. There is literally an alphabet soup of govt agencies that cantake a little cutting. Hell the EPA's budget alone has gone up 125% since Obama took office, and the fed spending has increased dramtically since 08. And SS and Medicare ppl were being taken of just fine back then. Who said anything about "no fed govt"? Again your emption trumps logic.

@Rfriddle1977
Path to a better future- Get a balanced budget amendment, cap spending to a % of GDP, get term limits for congress, reform the tax code by lowering all rates and eliminating deductions, require 2/3 of each house of Congress to raise taxes, then finally take an axe and chop off as much of the fed govt as possible. More ppl keep more of their money, you stabilize the business environment which creates jobs, and makes the US much more competetive in the global market. BooYah!

"raising no revenue " this is exactly why you ppl can't even be taken seriously. The fed govt takes in over 2 TRILLION dollars in revenue each year at this point. It takes in almost 200 BILLION every month. What the hell are you talking about, no revenues?
Just in case your curious $200 billion dollars would equal $50K salaries for about 4,000,000 ppl. Those are the resources you advocate taking. (Rant about eveil coprs holding onto money in 5...4...3...2..)

Top earners are the target for new tax increases, but the U.S. tax system is already highly progressive. The top 1 percent of income earners paid 38 percent of all federal income taxes in 2008, while the bottom 50 percent paid only 3 percent. Forty-nine percent of U.S. households paid no federal income tax at all.
This is a Fact. Look it up. I play in the arena of idea's....and liberals always fumble the ball as they have no means to hold any rational view of economics in the USA system.

@sexyhanson Well, you maybe right. It is abundantly clear that liberals clearly want to move everyone to dependency on the government in one way or another, that is why I only support small government, tax cutting conservatives. All politics is local and all politicians want to server their local constituency to get re elected. Unfortunately that usually means to the politician, how much bacon they can bring back.

bluegsp 8 months ago
@bluegsp no they really do loose collective bargaining. the bill in wi is aimed at stopping unions thats why in the bill it says that unions cant collect dues like they did they have to apply and be "allowed" to collect and even then the worker has to jump threw hoops to be represented so it will cut down on collective bargaining so out of a work force of say 5000 public works only 2000 have a union. its all aimed at the unions gov walker even admited that.
ransom1wi 8 months ago
@ransom1wi Unions cannot have the employers withhold the dues from the members paychecks and union membership would be voluntary instead of compulsory. That sounds like freedom to me. If you are saying that 3000 of the 5000 workers would not voluntarily join the union and pay their dues, than that it their choice. Not a mandate from the government. It is always the "liberals" that want to restrict freedom.

@DataJackOne Actually record low tax rate was 1%, top rate was 7%. Of course it was 1913-1915, but even in the years 1988-1990 actual top rate was about 33%. And there are countries that have lower tax rates. Google it. And why do you think that 37% of all recent new jobs created have been in Texas? Maybe the fact that there is no state tax has something to do with it.

@FluffyFeralMarmot I think u have it a little wrong, getting rich has nothing to do with working hard, people work harder on the streets everyday just to survive.

@FluffyFeralMarmot You are absolutely wrong. Most likely a bit daft, as well. The amount of money that small business and the middle class are working for is incredibly small compared to the profits of shareholders and CEO's and multinational conglomerates. The money is hung up in the upper echelons of the economy, making the poor and middle class work harder for less. Now, because of policies that make this happen, we are having a budget crisis.

Look at average income based on education level. The harder you work in school, the more money you make. If you got straight A's in high school, but then decided to become an iron worker, then you didn't really work very hard on your career, did you?
