Maybe they should cut the spending in proporation to the wages being cut by the corporate CEO's? You know, the JOB CREATORS.
47% of Walmart employees now collect food stamps that tax payers pay for as the Walton Family with their 88 billion, pay their employees so low, that we, the tax payers, subsidze their food stamps and Medicaid, just like MOST of corporate America and their low wages and less than 40 hour jobs to avoid benefits. Walmart is the LARGEST employer in the US
Yea but how much chance does this have of getting through? It's intelligent, beneficial to a great amount of people and solves some major economic problems and exploitations.

Funny how Congress blames the American people for deficits (IE social security and disability), yet THEY are the ones who refuse to look at any decent proposal that actually works.
@silfner1: While you're at it, you ought to recommend "America's Great Depression" to help explicate the adverse effects of the social programs these collectivists endorse. ; ) I'm always pleased to see other individuals influenced by Austrian economics. It brings sanity to discourse that is typically dominated by economically illiterate collectivists who trust central planning over free human action.
@DaBamBamMan By the way, could you actually point out where I am wrong so I might be able to correct myself if I actually am? It's funny how hostile people become over the internet, it is really rather pathetic. Also, I do have a good source. Ever read the book Economics in One Lesson? Or taken classes?
@CreeperDownTheStreet The average tax rate is only 15%. That is about $3,000 a year. If we had a flat tax, the billionaire would be paying $300,000 a year. But that is the thing, we don't have a flat tax. The billionaires have to pay a MUCH higher percentage than the average person in the middle class.
@hodoprime Balances the budget, but craters the economy. And a cratered economy means that there would be less tax income, which means, that the budget would not get balanced.
@dangerouslytalented I'd have a bit different opinion on what would happen. I don't think bombing bridges and rebuilding them in Iraq, sending billions a year to Pakistan and bombing them, subsidizing the national defense of Germany, Japan, Isreal and South Korea, and having 100's of bases overseas in other countries a benefit to our economy.
I fully support a purge of congress. Remove all the incumbents and place an age cap, along with an age minimum. We need people who actually understand what the people of America actually want, and work towards those goals. While we're at it, let's remove all the lobbyists and make it so they can't come back.
I'm thankful you aren't in a position to implement those recklessly stupid ideas. You didn't think those through at all, quite frankly I'd hope you would try harder than that...if only for the sake of your country.
@lowenklee If you have a better suggestion, I would be happy to hear it. I don't mean that sarcastically, either. How do you propose to remove the corruption from our current lawmakers? We are in dire need of a governing body that once again works for the people as a whole, instead of the interests of the wealthiest few. Legislation in recent years has taken a turn for the worse, with SOPA being the recent one. There are many congressmen who have completely lost touch with the people.
Not to be flippant, but vote better. This happened on our watch, the electorate. We were too busy buying useless shit we didn't need to bother with our patriotic duty to be politically engaged.
Be angry, but civil and reasonable rather than a partisan, look for common ground with your neighbors and community. Stick together!
Know the positions, volunteer for grassroots initiatives, engage and hold politicians accountable to their voting record, not their made-for-tv soundbites. Think!
There's nothing preventing you from singling out individuals running for office from other voting districts and helping with their campaign efforts, giving donations, or simply spreading the word.
Likewise with grassroots initiatives and national advocacy groups, every state has them. Honestly you aren't even trying.
@lowenklee Why are we allowing people who use computers rarely if at all, and don't understand how they work to pass a law regulating the internet? (Yes, SOPA.) That isn't all of congress, but enough to terrify me. Not to mention the corrupt money bribing the people who make the laws that govern us and decide where our taxes go. This needs to be fixed. I'd love to go into great detail further, but Youtube character limits are a bitch.
It's too bad they won't deport those in the GOP from America as they really are no longer even Americans. I would rather have an illegal living next door to me than ANYONE in the GOP. At least they work hard for their money and have good family values. More than I can say about anyone I've ever met in the GOP. They are usually rude, abnoxious, beat their wives and kids, and cop like jerks.
@coltor9 Family values? The GOP is the party of values. It is you democrats and liberals that dont have family values. That is why you see no harm in killing your own child, just because it might be an inconvenience. You support gays who cant even naturally start a family. Its the dems who dont work for their money, they just want more free money from the govt. Dont think we dont work hard just because we dont work your union 40 hrs. Most work harder. CEO's average 60+ hours a week.
@TheExecutiveDecision The GOP has ZERO family values. Your candidate Gingrich, has had several wives and flings while married as well as you're Pizza Man, Cain. Gay's serve our country and veterans are both democrats and republicans. They don't work for their money? You are just a total moron and FOX NEWS Jonestown Cultist.
The Chinese learned years ago you can brainwash ANYONE by just playing the same sound bytes, over and over and over again, like the GOP does at FOX.
By the way, the naturally starting a family argument is bullshit. I guess postmenopausal women and infertile couples shouldn't be allowed to get married either.
@DeepSouth16 You sound like a total idiot and we're laughing at you. The only COMMIES are the GOP who try and FORCE their bs on the American People and strip their freedoms and liberties while claiming how patriotic they are. Yes, the GOP wants to tell people if they can have birth control, abortions, who they can marry, what they can smoke, if they can gamble, TSA, searches without warrants, even stripping voting rights and profiling Americans who drive while dark. They are sick and the COMMIES
The GOP votes for TAX CUTS for all billionaires and then VOTES NO for TAX CUTS for the middle class worker.
It's time to throw every member in the GOP to the unemployment line so they can show their GED and take a pee test to collect their unemployment check.
i love how it says "keep american jobs inside teh country" geez people stop being so focused on your country... you do realize that the reason why the whole reasons all countries are screwed is because of american banks and actions? We are all interconnected. How about finding ways to solve things together?
@DeepSouth16 Because assholes like you would pay employees like the GOP wants to pay them. 50 cents an hour, no health care, no pension, no vacation, less than 40 hours a week.
There's a concerted effort to push us into fascism, and that's all there is to it. It's why there's so much love for "Job Creators", it's why they want you to be afraid of an invading Muslim hoard that has no airforce or navy to even transport themselves over here, it's why they want to censor the internet, it's why they want to demonize Atheists and homosexuals, it's why they want to wind back scientific progress, it's why they go to war and don't even bother paying for it. Fascism is coming.
I say we try "make work" and put these people to task stacking stone upon stone. That's right, it's time to build pyramids again!
We'll offer people 15 fiat dollars an hour and some kind of sleeping shack. I'll bet if we surround the shacks with enough golden arches and pizza signs they won't even recognize what happening. They'll just keep shopping their fiat money at the company store.
@putittogether Uh, I don't know if Obama can do ANYTHING, dude. I know you're being sarcastic, but, really the Occupy Movement is about getting Democracy back in the USA. Until then, nothing the politicians do will matter.
The Minimum Wage needs to be raised to the same as Australia, $15.00 an hour. Health care, dental for all needs to be a priority as well as cutting the military 50% to pay for it as in today's world when you have Nukes, Jets, and Nuke Subs, you are well defended. The rest is a waste of tax payers money provided to lobbyists, and the 1%.
You want to end poverty, this is how you do it. The GOP is making us a 3rd world nation with their failed policies.

@Rantalicious No, Ron Paul would destroy the ducation department, killing millions of jobs and denying the poor an education. And his econmical views are bullsh*t.
@CreeperDownTheStreet Look at it this way. Farmers perform the most in demand and most important job on the entire planet. Software engineers are only important to consumers interests in the latest high tech gizmo. They aren't anywhere near as important yet they make thousands of dollars annually more than a farmer could ever hope for.
Saying it is unfair a billionaire pays more in taxes means nothing when he provides far less to society than every body else.
@7graywolf7 You're trying to have a debate with a guy named creeper down the street? Do you realize how pointless that is? That name implies that he's a 4chan lolicon addict sitting naked in a porn dungeon somewhere and never leaves his computer except to occasionally defecate in an empty KFC bucket. You don't have to say anything and you've already won the argument.
@garlicthethird I debate with him not to convince him of the realities of life. Rather I debate in hope that an undecided individual, or perhaps a blossoming young intelligent mind, may stumble upon what I say and understand the realities of life.
@CreeperDownTheStreet Factor in tax evasion/write off practices and they actually scheme their way out of much of what they are taxed on. Making charitable contributions is the easiest way to receive tax deductions.
If you really want to get into what is/isn't fair then how is capitalism itself fair? Farmers feed entire nations and yet they get paid some of the lowest salaries for the amount of labour they perform. Now compared that to someone like a software engineer.
A true millionaire American would willingly give up his/her money to save the US of A. If they loved America they would go out of their way to save it. But they don't, they would rather see America die than give a single dollar to Uncle Sam.
I'm a Canadian and I sound more like an American than these scumbags in the US government and social elite.
@7graywolf7 The top 1% pays more taxes than the entire bottom 99% combined. The rich do pay their fair share and help their country. It's people in the bottom 99% that are relying on unemployment that should be helping their country because a good amount of them are unwilling to find work because they can get paid just about as much sitting doing nothing,
@silfner1 Do you have a single fact to support any of those claims? Last time I talked to people on unemployment it was a struggle to feed yourself and pay the rent and everyone wanted a job so I doubt what you say is true.
Do you honestly believe that the majority of the nation would prefer to rely on the piddly welfare checks than get well paying jobs? Do you honestly believe that a small minority of Americans are financially supporting an entire (bankrupt) nation?
@silfner1 - Sounds like we need to raise wages, then. Or come up with a better social support system that actually encourages people to work. One solution is you give people below a certain income some amount of assistance. At peek, the assistance could be around $18,000.00 a year. But for every two cents a person earns, they lose one cent of assistance. A person would thus have to earn $36,000.00 a year or more to be ineligible, but they get more money for working than not.
@LeksServices If we raise wages, unemployment will go up. That is because the owners of the companies will not have enough money to support every employee. Either that, or the business will go under. Another option would be for government subsidies to give companies more money to pay their employes. That would cause even more inflation than we currently have. And sadly, Social security is the biggest contributor to our national debt.
@silfner1 So if this country's economy is going to survive, we will likely have to get rid of Social security. And where would the money come from for the assistance? It would likely be just printed by the Fed, so that would further add to inflation and the country's debt.
@silfner1 Everything you just said is complete and utter horse shit. The more money the middle class has , the more money the economy has going into it, equals better debt situation. So you just believe anything anybody you think is in a position of authority tells you? Please, read actual, unbiased facts. Not the fox news forums.
@DaBamBamMan Money doesn't equal wealth. It doesn't matter how much money we have if the value of the dollar is constantly diminishing. If all you can do is attack my argument, you really have no place to talk.
I've been saying it forever, fixing this country's economic problems is simple. Cut the military budget in half, implement a temporary tax increase on anyone in this country that can afford it and invest that money on infrastructure (thus creating jobs), Close all corporate tax loopholes, legalize and tax marijuana and end oil subsidies.
@sfm073 That's a great plan. But unfortunately the USA government isn't populated by politicians and true Americans. It's populated by selfish employees of a number of countless billion dollar corporations.
Shortsighted, friend. The reasons America ever had a middle class were twofold:
1: We had corporate tax at 70% before Reagan came along. This forced companies to keep the money in their business as taking it out was useless. This resulted in more jobs and higher pay.
2: We instituted Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security. Before these so-called entitlement programs (and presently due to lack of healthcare) people were often stricken poor due to illness, and seniors lived in poorhouses.
@sfm073 Nice ideas, but cutting Deefense in half isn't enough. That would mean the US still spends about 20.5% of the global Defense spending (which is still enourmous, trust me, even the Chinese can't do this). Dividing it by 10 would be a better idea. The US can only be attacked by land by 2 countries (and nothing to fear from the Canadians, eh?) and the Mexicans are also allies, but even if they weren't, their military's a joke. Cuba's too poor to attack and all the rest too remote.
Although dividng it by ten sounds like a wonderful idea, you end up adding over a million to the unemployed register. Assuming some 60% can get jobs in these bad economic times, thats still over 400,000 unemployed.
Also, actual physical, direct threats to the US by borders is a poor example.China is a growing threat, both financially and militraily, and although direct conflict is unlikely, the US would be in a far worse position to try and thwart chinese ambitions.
@SuperDJBling TYT recently covered the biggest and smallest job creating government programs, and military hit rock bottom. Destroying our department of education (like Ron Paul wants to) would be the ultimate job killer, whereas military doesn't create much jobs and isn't the most productive sector. Furthermore, you don't have to fire everyone, just ending two unnecessary wars would decrease military spending by billions. China isn't a threat, they rely on US consumption too much.
@demanvanhetstokbrood True. In comparison to other departments, it doesn't compete, but do you want 400,000 men and women who decided to serve there nation end up unemployed? imagine the kind of insult that would be. Yes, the defence budget should fall, but gradually, not just slash it to 1/10th of its current size in the next 5 years. Pulling out of Afganistan is currently not possible, doing so might very well see the current democratic gov fall, and you end up with a terrorist hidey hole.
@SuperDJBling Look, that's not what I'm saying. You can easily use these soldiers to protect the Maxican-American border if the immigration problem's so bad, or use them in other instances (such as in employ of the UN, in other humanitarian missions, or with natural disasters, of which we get plenty). I disagree with you on Afghanistan. It's going to be a terrorist hole anyway. I think you're actually making terrorists. Most Afghans despise us. Now there's Yemen...
@demanvanhetstokbrood I have to disagree on Afganistan.Although I am not surprised that they hate the US,They dont hate democracy or getting rid of the Taliban,I believe the majority think that.If you pull out before the country is stable, then essentially you have wasted thousands of civilian and military lives for nought,and terrorists are going to use it as base of operations to launch attacks on the US, and essentially your back at square 1, before 9/11. You have to finish what you started..
@SuperDJBling Well, it's not like like Afghanistan's stable now. They have a weak corrupt government vs. Taliban insurgents who have quite some support with the Afghan people.
The Taliban are just biding their time until the Americans leave. I think the Taliban can damage the US more in Afghanistan than they could if you left.
Besides, the Taliban is a local organisation. It's Al-Qaeda you need to eradicate. And they're not in Afghanistan anymore.
@sfm073 If you cut the military budget in half, you wouldn't have to worry about our economics problems because one of our enemies would take us out before we had a chance to see any financial benefit.
@TheExecutiveDecision The US spends more money on defense than the rest of the world combined. Do you really think we need bases in in Europe? Do you really think we should be giving these defense contractors blank checks? Our bloated military budget has drained this country.
@sfm073 I do think we need bases in Europe. As for blank checks, it depends on how qualified the person writing the check is. There may be room for cutbacks in the military budget, but you cannot just "cut it in half" as the comment said. Our safety in our homes & the safety of our troops here & abroad is most important. We must keep ourselves superior when it comes to our military. Do you realize how hated we are by other countries? If we let our guard down we would certainly be attacked.
@TheExecutiveDecision The person writing the checks is the same person getting paid by the defense contractors. Why do think the US is hated so much? Do you think maybe it has something to do with the fact we have a base in every nook and cranny? Or how about the fact that we try and stick our nose into every situation around the world. If we could mind our own damn business for once we wouldn't be the most hated country in the world.
@sfm073 What "drained" this country is all the "free" government systems that we pay with our taxes. Such as free healthcare, welfare. oh wait they aren't free we're paying FOR THEM.
some sort of rebound peroid were we amaricans would be hurt temporarily but eventually the act of burning some of the money would work its way around to making the dollar worth more and would only have cuased us a short and shitty time period,then it would get better like the calm after a storm. the money would eventually be where its supposed to be, oh well maybe a dumb idea, but if printing made the doller worth less then the idealy it would seem destroying sum would make it worth more,..
@fishkopp1234 The German healthcare system was always flawless! ( as long as you dont count what happened between the years of 1933 and 1945. As long as you werent jewish, gypsie, homosexual or impaired you got top quality service. and best of all it looked good on paper!)
@ecnerwal999 Strange how history doesn't back you up. Hey a great low-tax economy is Mexico, which has tax at 9% of GDP compared with the US's 23% (which is a RECORD low even for the US). But I guess you think reducing it to 9% (or even 0%) would actually help the economy. Wrong. There would be more fraud, crime, violence, cruelty, less education, more injustice. A strong government leads to a strong economy because then companies have to obey RULES (no fraud, stealing, violence etc.)
I just don't get the statement "The Rich need to pay their fair share." What is a fair share? 3-4 times in percentage than the average American is still not enough to be fair share? It's certainly unfair, and in the wrong direction too. Anyone who works hard for their money should keep it. Those who earn it illegitimately need to be stopped though. Take away the Federal Reserve, and you get a more productive rich class that benefits America. With legit rich, you get real jobs.
@Dudanation12 "The rich need to pay their fair share" is indeed a vague comment. I simply say, the rich should be forced to pay a lot more. All jobs are real jobs, whether it's a police officer, firefighter, teacher, government engineer or commercial company engineer. The so-called "private" sector has NEVER been "private" because they have always operated under government RULES (and consequences). So the GOVERNMENT is the key to a safe and just economy/world.
@Dudanation12 1: most of the rich people now have inherited theyer money, they did not work for it.
2: iv known rich people who often make purchases (such as cars, houses, etc) and simply put it as a tax wright off.
3: yeah those are nice sounding words, but they often do not apply to the wealthy american people. (and if it was up to me no one would have to pay taxes).
why cant we just burn billions of dollars to lower inflation? its inlfated becuase we printed so much so couldnt we just burn a shitload of money or simple "DELETE" some money/binarys/digital money in banks which will make the dollar worth more cuz thiers less?????
I guess the problem is it would stump growth. You burn the money from the banks, businesses and people can't get loans, so less transactions will occur, the less business will make jobs tight and tough to find and then the price decreases will start to kick in. We had inflation in 2009 and it wasn't the best time for anyone except those who already had cash. The problem is everyone spends every penny they have. We have a spending problem in America.

Why does he show up when the millionaires get threatened with a tax raise but he never shows if it's the poor or middle class?
I thought the GOP House members signed some kind of pledge not to raise my taxes?
Looks like the GOP are a bunch of filthy liars, I guess.

@silfner1 - Sounds like we need to raise wages, then. Or come up with a better social support system that actually encourages people to work. One solution is you give people below a certain income some amount of assistance. At peek, the assistance could be around $18,000.00 a year. But for every two cents a person earns, they lose one cent of assistance. A person would thus have to earn $36,000.00 a year or more to be ineligible, but they get more money for working than not.
LeksServices 2 months ago
@LeksServices If we raise wages, unemployment will go up. That is because the owners of the companies will not have enough money to support every employee. Either that, or the business will go under. Another option would be for government subsidies to give companies more money to pay their employes. That would cause even more inflation than we currently have. And sadly, Social security is the biggest contributor to our national debt.
silfner1 2 months ago
@silfner1 So if this country's economy is going to survive, we will likely have to get rid of Social security. And where would the money come from for the assistance? It would likely be just printed by the Fed, so that would further add to inflation and the country's debt.

Shortsighted, friend. The reasons America ever had a middle class were twofold:
1: We had corporate tax at 70% before Reagan came along. This forced companies to keep the money in their business as taking it out was useless. This resulted in more jobs and higher pay.
2: We instituted Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security. Before these so-called entitlement programs (and presently due to lack of healthcare) people were often stricken poor due to illness, and seniors lived in poorhouses.

@sfm073 Nice ideas, but cutting Deefense in half isn't enough. That would mean the US still spends about 20.5% of the global Defense spending (which is still enourmous, trust me, even the Chinese can't do this). Dividing it by 10 would be a better idea. The US can only be attacked by land by 2 countries (and nothing to fear from the Canadians, eh?) and the Mexicans are also allies, but even if they weren't, their military's a joke. Cuba's too poor to attack and all the rest too remote.

Also, actual physical, direct threats to the US by borders is a poor example.China is a growing threat, both financially and militraily, and although direct conflict is unlikely, the US would be in a far worse position to try and thwart chinese ambitions.

3: yeah those are nice sounding words, but they often do not apply to the wealthy american people. (and if it was up to me no one would have to pay taxes).

@4johnybravo
I guess the problem is it would stump growth. You burn the money from the banks, businesses and people can't get loans, so less transactions will occur, the less business will make jobs tight and tough to find and then the price decreases will start to kick in. We had inflation in 2009 and it wasn't the best time for anyone except those who already had cash. The problem is everyone spends every penny they have. We have a spending problem in America.

inflation is worst if you are the one with cash, you lose buying power, just pointing that out

The GOP has rejected TAX CUTS for middle class Americans but PROTECTS and gives TAX CUTS for millionaires.
Everyone see's this. You can put all the honey you want on the GOP but it's shit still stinks and we all see it.
