• These Are The Countries With The Highest Income Tax Rates

  May 11, 2012 at 9:17am

  In reply to cmonnow.

  First off I said “eliminated many” not all loopholes and many loopholes have been added back since. My company pays very little taxes and some years none at all depending on profit, even then when it profits the business doesn’t pay the taxes I do as a Sub. S Corp. and if you start taxing my business via for instance a VAT, I will just like any other business pass it along to you, causing you to make a decision as to whether to use my services at all harming my business. This is what rules and regs do a small business will be hit just like the large business, the big ones will spread the cost out while the little ones can’t, the little ones die out leaving only the big ones. The sub-prime and speculation was driven by gov’t rules and regs. The gov’t trying to rig the market to help “the poor” by trying to push the lenders into making bad loans caused the lenders to find ways to still make money on the bad loans, that’s business, business is in business to make money by adding value to their liabilities, employing people is a necessary liability and is also added to the end product, but now the gov’t trying to add more expense to the hiring and also the existing employees via Obamacare is causing business to sit on their hands.
  BTW why is it you must raise the taxes on the rich to make it fair, why not lower everyone elses taxes wouldn’t that also be fair?

• Nancy Pelosi: My Catholic Faith ‘Compels’ Me to Support Same-Sex Marriage

  So Nancy is bringing the church into the Gov’t, I thought that she believed that there needs to be absolute seperation of church and state.

  And there were tax loopholes, tax shelters, and ways to dodge taxes (Reagan eliminated many of these when he cut the tax rates in the eighties causing an even greater cash flow to the gov’t), you also didn’t have welfare, public housing, epa, deq, osha, and a myriad of other gov’t entities watching every step with ever growing rules and regulations, there were very few people pulling from SS and many putting in, society and business wasn’t bogged down in litigation, unions weren’t in the gimme gimme mode yet, so yeah you are right gov‘t wasn’t as much of a problem as it is now. Back then you could build a house without a mortgage now you need a mortgage to build a house, I tried to build my housing from my savings and from my wifes and my paychecks but with all the rules and regulations one of them being time I ended up going into debt with a mortgage before I could finish unlike my parents who took as many years as they needed to finish the house I grew up in which was the late 50′s & 60′s

• ‘Clearly Not the Poor’s Fault if They are Poor’: Georgetown Priests and Protesters Attack Ryan and Budget

  May 10, 2012 at 12:34pm

  In reply to MaxMagician.

  Yes isn’t that amazing, the liberals cry out seperation of church and state and then call out a conservative because he is not letting the church rule in his governing of the state. This just shows that they just don’t know what they are saying and letting the mantra of “He‘s conservative so therefore he’s a very, very, bad guy”. Another thing can anyone please define “the poor”? I keep hearing about “the poor” but yet no one knows who they are.

• Actual College Protester: Paul Ryan Not Really a Catholic Because He Believes ‘You Can Determine Your Own Fate’

  In reply to marybethelizabeth.

  MarybethElizabeth: I guess you need to define “the poor”, according to the US census I would be considered “the poor”, but I don‘t feel like I’m “the poor” and I am not looking for handouts from “the not poor”. And “preferential treatment” does that also mean that if a rich and a “poor” man are hit by the same car that I being a good Catholic should spit on the rich man and call an ambulance for just the “poor” man? I am not Catholic but am a Christian and it is by freewill and by my own disgression how I will help others as I see fit, what I take from your comment is that the gov’t has the right and must take from others even me to dole out the “preferential treatment” that is wrong and not the role of gov’t.

• Farrakhan Praises Pat Buchanan as a ‘Great Republican’ & Warns Whites: ‘Unless You Change, Your End Has Come’

  @ Addy: Yes they will drop like flys and the rest will run, but then they will ask for help from their allies around the world. “We” have no allies for “we” are hated around the world. If or when that happens are “we” going to go on the offensive and attack as a coordinated group with a plan or are we just going to defend ourselves on our own little plot of land? We need to ask this question of ourselves if it comes to what Farrakhan wants to happen. I really don’t see where I am being paranoid here, I am looking at how unprepared we are in case this comes about, for I am one person and you are one person (in fact we have quite a few one persons) and we are to fight Legions without a cohesive plan. (what would be great if they all killed themselves off with infighting and power struggles which could happen too)

  Here’s another thought, say a conflict starts, since “we” are painted as the bad guys around the world who will China come in and support, what about Russia, the muslim brotherhood, etc. “We” could be alone fighting the world. Russia and China would be salivating for the chance to bring down the US and rape our lands for fuel and food and those that will start this (Farrakan et al) think that “we” are the evil ones and will quickly learn that “we” are the ones that have secured their freedoms for generations, but that will be too late a lesson learned for they will be the next ones done away with.

  Grimmy: You don’t quite understand what I am getting at. Sure we could inflict quite a bit of damage to them, but how do you know your not shooting at me or I you, “we” have no coordination. Because once this turns into a guerilla action you will not know who is who, I will be as you wearing camo and camo paint so will they, unless “we” train and coordinate a plan “we” could be shooting at each other, it would be like Longshanks in Braveheart using his archers after his infantry has engaged the Scotts with the statement “Won’t we be hitting our own troops?“ and Longshank states ”We will hit theirs too”, well “we” can’t afford that.

  Look up the New Black Panther site and you will see they have been training and are well armed.
  Sarges: Yes we all train to hunt and are all snipers out here and we are armed also, but we have no structure, I‘m afraid we may start shooting at each other by mistake because we don’t know what our neighbor will do if the fighting starts, their structure may counter our knowledge of the land if we have no coordination. Sorry but just us training and coordinating will alert the gov‘t against us and the gov’t turns a blind eye towards groups like the New Black Panthers. I will probably get a visit shortly from a gov’t official just for typing this that is how bad things are getting.

• ‘I’m Going to Be Fired’: Bob Beckel Detonates a High-Volume ‘What the F***’ Live on Hannity

  In reply to AmericanFightingMan1.

  I also agree with AARON leave him there. How do you know what your opponents are thinking if you don’t let them air out their thoughts especially when they get upset and give you what they really think. Please note after the explicative he gave his opinion on the right wing which is really revealing, you will never compromise with someone who has such hatred towards you, but yet it is the conservatives that are demanded by the liberals to compromise.
