@LBPike350 Reagan created tax loopholes to benefit the rich. That's a major reason for the Enron fiasco. Reagan had to ask Congress 17 TIMES to have the debt ceiling raised. Clinton only had to ask 4 times. Reagan also had to raise taxes 11 times. A former GOP politician who worked with Reagan said so. The Joke is FOXnews.

the more I learn about Conservatives. The more I learn the damage they hace caused. And, have gotten much of my data from treasurydirect, IRS and Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Videos with 'Rachel Maddow' in the title don't get very many views. Maybe only dogs can hear them... or want to.

Tax "loopholes" are just a way to demonize tax laws that you don't like. Tax "Loopholes" are just parts of the tax code, tax laws, that peolpe and corporations use to lessen their tax load.

If loop holes were illegal those who use them would be arrested. She is just as bad as those the wags her verbal fingers at. There is corruption, and bad judgement from members on both sides.

I just love her holier-than-thou attitude. She is an intellectual joke...smart but a joke just the same.

@Textynn The political system in America is fucked. Campaign finance reform is needed. Lobbying is also a huge problem.

@09geauxtigers Spare the insinuations. If you had actually bothered to do some research, you'll see where the stimulus funds went. Heck, many Republicans who were opposed to the stimulus had their hypocrisy exposed when they accepted those very same stimulus funds they despised so much. All over the country my ass...

@haitianman117 good. we don't want productive companies giving money to the government.

[09geauxtigers]

Does anyone know what happened to all of the stimulis money Obama passed in early '09? I have not seen one work project and I've travelled all over the country in the past 2 1/2 years. Just wondering where the money went!

@ekjohndeer maddow actually did an entire segment on how GE and other companies got away from paying taxes.

I would offer that Maddow has no idea what she is talking about. She knows just enough to tilt the conversation, but that is probably not true. One must assume Maddow, Ed, Rush, Hannity, heck even Beck are all informed enough to understand the real issues. So it would appear that celebrity or money is the driving force behind the lunacy we see on cable and radio. Damn shame that the loons shape the debate while America suffers.
