Theres a malignant tumor still growing on the body of America. It is called the Religious Right. Ironically, McCain,warned of this tumor in 2000, but now embraces it as an American value, thats part of the body of America.

Sarah Palin (of the Religious Right) is as irrelevant to the movement for women's equality as what Clarence Thomas is to civil rights, and as inappropriate to advancement of science and global rational as GWBush. Shes Bush with lipstick who promotes staying stupid.

Children were of the highest regard and therefore women's work was the most respected. In this culture every time the RICH make an increase more women and children become homeless. Mothers work is the only unpaid and unrecognized work force in this country!But we are at the end of an age and it always gets corrupt then. This culture is definitely an object lesson on what NOT to do and WHY.

There is too much rich people power-so we can't have a flat income tax b/c it won't work. We need to close all tax loop holes. We need this progressive income tax. How can you claim to love America if you can't bring yourself to love Americans? Yes, people need that money. A handout is okay ever so now and then but not to live off of. So, close a lot of the Hand out opportunities-enforce illegal immigration- and the economy would be fine. Or do like ron paul, no income tax, but raise sales tax

duhhhhhh. The future will obviously be biased according to ethnicity, etc.

I wouldn't be surprised in our tax rate will variate according to your race and gender...

Plug the Black Hole that is the Pentagon, and we would see a difference. I'm not saying don't give them ANY money, just stop with the blank checks.

You can't get a loan or do very much at all without a SSN, and every time a company has to verify your number, they use SSA. SSA is constantly inundated with requests to verify SSNs, that costs a lot of money. When the government doesn't keep adequate track of how much all this costs, our SS funds continually deplete.

All of this SS mess is due to the fact that SS has been abused, turned into something that it was never designed to be: a tracking system. Same thing will happen with Real ID.

"SS collections were used to fund all manner of social programs."

The money that is supposed to go to SS isn't SS money itself, but budget for the SS program. But the actual money that you pay into SS IS being spent. By law, they are not allowed to spend it on anything but payouts, but instead, they get around that by "charging" for their services. Like all government entities, they can't keep track and end up undercharging.

787: Well, I'm in complete agreement on this one. It's common sense that when you tax something you get less of it; it's a penalty that incentivizes people to do less. So, eliminating a tax on production (income tax) makes a lot of sense. Replacing it with a tax on spending/consumption would incentivize saving and disincentivize spending on the credit card. It's too hard to do though; too much risk for the pols.

And there's plenty of govt spending we could cut; not from the Obama crew though.

[JohnR22926]

787: Well, I'll agree SS is a ponzi scheme. If they were honest, the govt would have kept all SS payments in a fund collecting interest; if they had, we would have SS suprluses out the butt and would have easily been able to reduce the tax from 7.6% to something much lower.

But, govt's motto is "have a dollar spend a dollar", so SS collections were used to fund all manner of social programs. The money is gone and the system is bankrupt. So, stand by for tax hikes.

[787Bisurdaddy]

I don't agree with the concept of taxing anyone on their labor, so I disagree with income tax, and I definitely disagree with increasing the cost of goods and services (which are already taxed numerous times within the process of a single transaction) just to make up for its loss. *Especially* when government use of our tax money is wasteful and fraudulent (I saw it with my own eyes when I was in the Navy).

The simple answer is to STOP SPENDING SO DAMN MUCH MONEY. People do this all the time.
