we are in 9 trillion dollars of debt. ANY decreases in tax revenue would have to be covered by borrowing. Bush's tax cuts for people making more than $100,000 a DAY have cost us because we will pay $4.85 in interest on each dollar not received in taxes. and under the republicans and bush, spending has skyrocketed so this "tax cuts" lie that the gop trots out every 4 years is just that. a lie. republicans are expensive. we pay more when they are in charge. mostly to their pockets.
A "tax" is a tax. There is no relationship between what it is collected via a tax and how it is spent, never has been. A "fee" is collected for a specific use and must be used on that use.
He can't do that, than he would have to give the tabbaco lobby all the money they give him back. This is a state sponced group suicide pack. the tabbaco industry, washington keep a known cancer causing poison on the market because it is a great money maker. I have smoked for 30 years, I hate it, I have tryed to quit so many times, If he gave a shit he would be willing to raise the price to 10 bucks a pack, I garuntee, people wouldn't start as teens with that price. he just does not care.
I don't know...but I think that there is already an extremely high tax on the cigs...lol they keep going on those paricular taxes they might just as well out law them...
After the big Tobacco lawsuit years ago, if I remember right, Kentucy used it to upgrade a horse track, and one of the Carolina's used it to help the tobacco growers. It was used for everything but what it was intended for.
Yes, I can't remember all the details. It was quite a few years ago. I think NBC at the time did a few Fleecing of America segments on this. All the money was to be used for anti-smoking education, and medical bills, etc. This is why Obama's Faith Based programs, could so easily get out of hand. Who is going to make sure the money is properly spent? Obama's health care won't work either. The Massachusetts plan is $900 million short already and it's only been in effect 7 months.
Hello Bigone555J. Once again thanks for the information. WOW im sort of shocked about Massachusetts , not the short part but the part about it's only been 7 MONTHS!. I wonder what the explanation is?.
His plan will work, look at the details online on the web site. His ideas are very good and the portablility of service and the lowering of prices by negot, the lowest price is something bush would not do because he was in the pocket of the drug lobby.
A simple analysis of pros and cons for McCain
Pro- lower taxes
Con- lower taxes at the expense of lowering HIGHER EDUCATION FUNDS
Littledog, get EDUCATED
-The taxes he will cut will be at the expense of the AMERICAN VALUE *EQUAL OPPERTUNITY*
