As the vote passed the house to cut, cap and balance the budget, another name for the Ryann bill. As usual the cuts come from the working class, the S.S., Medicare . and Mediaid are the number one cutsw to be made. this isa republican bill formented in the house. Abd the big kicker that is not there --no tax cuts on the rich or no cuts on the subsidies of corporations such as the oil companies that recieve 4 billion each year and pay no royalties to the goverment on the oil drilled on goverment land. Even though they make billions in profits they pay no taxes but get returns in the millions even though they paid no taxes. How much more do you pay than an oil company? if you pay 1 dollar you paid 1 dollar moe than they did.

The rich have never paid their taxes at the tax rate of their moneyed position onthe tax bracket, nor have the corporations. Now we seee where Exxon has not made the same profits this quarted, but still made over 10 billion dollars--why? one simple reason their specualators along owth the other oil companies and those on wall street have driven up the prive of oil, thus the price of gas and diesel fuel. Leading to the results of slowing the economy down and costing the consumer their jobs. Each and every one of thsoe oil companies owns a refinery which from that barrel of oil they deriive even more products than the different fuels. and distillates and other chemicals. so they are also making billions off of the other by-products of each barrel of oil--something never mentioned in the public when cost is brough into the picture. Why not---if never brough up there is no conversation on the truth of what product is actually gotten from a barrel of oil. Now you add it up of all the products gotten from that barrel and you have a hefty profit derived from that oil.

So why should a corporation not be paying taxes in their tax bracket and the rich not pay in their tax bracket. But as they have hreat wealth they both have lobbyist to write their patrons plenty of tax loop holes so they do not have to pay taxes. But as a working class person the only loop hole writer you have to depend on is the senator or representative you voted into office--but then you realize he is not concerned with the problesmd of hos constitutients, but the one s who hire the lobbyist and makes donations to him. So the working person gets left out in the cold and the corporations and the rich are good paying and the electoed person you elected to office is forgotten by all 3, the rich, the corporations, and the elected officials. BABYITS GETTING COLD OUTSIDE FOR THE WORKING CLASS AND IT SURE FEELS LONELY

Class envying pieces of trash. Try working a little harder instead of being jealous and seeking to punish those who have worked harder and reaped greater fruits of their labor for it.

yep, those tea baggin republicans were playing with a set of loaded dice today when they passed thier bill, it contained an amendment to the constitutional amendment that held the load dice--in it was the amendment that contained the piece where it took a 2/3rds vote to change the tax laws or the tax loop holes in the tax codes. Were those republicans looking out to protect the rich, the privileged and the corporations---some of which made billions in profits, paid no taxes, and got welfare check in the billions. then then really rolled that pair of loaded dice to cut medicare, medicaide and medicare to where it would only take a bare majority of 51 prcent to reduce those programs and to put them under private insurers. Or do away with them if they wanted to How-- with the barest of majority of votes 50 percent, plus one more vote.

What you democraps don't understand is that we can't drink green in, eat paper, and crap 100 dollar bills. This money is going to have to come from somewhere, and you greedy, spoiled, selfish bastards have no qualms about enslaving your children and grandchildren so that you don't have to give up a tee time to pay for your medication. What a bunch of filthy, diseased whores you are.

This is another one of those things that you can't completely agree/disagree on. The reason for this is because Kim Kardasian is living the high life just because of a "leaked" sex tape. That is not fair, she didn't have to work hard to make such great money. Her money should be taxed so much more. On the other hand, people like Bill Gates worked their way up and worked hard for their big cash. They deserve to keep most of their money.
