SkyDekker 1,465 #51 April 1, 2010 QuoteSpoken like a true liberal. I vote conservative in Canada, but I guess that does put me around the Democrats in the US. fact remains that the level of spending in the US has almost never been sustained by actual revenues in the last 40 years. (and there certainly have been Republican governments in that time frame, so it isn't all the communists' fault). A 40 year history shows you have been completely unable to control spending, when that remains the same, raising revenues is the only other option. I understand some of you believe you can raise government revenue by lowering taxes. However, one look at your current situation makes it quite clear that is not true. Hence, whatever label you want to give me....taxes will have to go up significantly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idrankwhat 0 #52 April 1, 2010 Quote Quote Quote If we rolled the current spending to 07 levels and changed nothing else this mess could be fixed in less than 10 years Why 2007? Why not go back a few years earlier before 43 bloated the size of government and started a trillion dollar optional war? Oh, and while we're traveling in time maybe we could take Gore up on that whole "lock box" idea. Seems that one was pretty good. Im game! Yea, me too. Go back a year or two earlier and we could slap the pen out of Clinton's hand before he signed the Gramm Leach Bliley act and of course, do a little stock trading.

kallend 2,146 #57 April 1, 2010 Quote Quote ...guys like kallend who say we are not taxed enough today! Came to America so that he could bite the hand that feeds him. Go figure. Playing the player AGAIN? How is my paying a lot of tax (more than $40,000 for 2009) towards running the country "biting" its "hand"? This is way way more than the average born-in-the-USA guy pays to the country. Country should be pleased to have me here. How much more than $40k did you pay for 2009?...

This is way way more than the average born-in-the-USA guy pays to the country. But the real question is what percentage of your income did you pay. The telling question is did you file short form standard deductions or did you take the effort to make your tax bill as low as possible.You are only as strong as the prey you devour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
