QuoteQuoteWe have a free labor market- you are free to leave an employer and go get something better at anytime.
Have you tried getting a new job lately? Seriously?
I'm on vacation after the end of my last job. As soon as I'm willing to work again, it will be mere days. It's almost too quick, so I don't want to get the process started yet.
QuoteQuoteThe simple fact is that the wealthy will be better off if they prevent the revolution by throwing some rice to the peasants instead of waiting for the starving peasants to slit their throats inorder to gain a few grains of rice.
No, the simple fact is that we've been throwing rice for decades, and the only thing we have to show for it is more angry peasants and fewer affluent folks to do the throwing.
what a lot of dribble - the wealthy have got richer and richer until the top 1% own 90% of the country's wealth - not a healthy state...

"Rob the rich to feed the poor, until there are no rich no more."
The wealthy gained their wealth by cheating the workers from their due.
A worker produces $1 and the employer pays him 75 cents.
On top of that the government takes 20% to subsidize the employer and bailout his banker freinds who sold his singular mortgage to investors multiple times.
Of course a portion of the money the government kicks back to the employer and the banksters is used to prop up candidates running for government positions who will kick back money to the corporate employers and the banksters.
When the people realize the treadmill they've been shackled to they will revolt.
Machete killings and rubber necklaces may become the norm.
A smart rich guy may want to throw some rice today.
What are you talking about? Have you ever worked in manufacturing? I spent about 10 years working the factories and in today's world the blue collar guy on the line earns more than the white collar guy in the office.
utter rubbish...

1. Fix the tax code - it's broke. Make it simple, get rid of deductions. That will in fact be raising the taxes on the "rich" but also the middle class. You CAN'T raise taxes enough to fix this problem.
2. Cut the budget 10% across the board- everything. I believe that most goverment agency's could keep functioning with that cut IF they ran as effiecent as private companies.
3. Index for inflation.
4. Pass a law that when things do get better (and they will) and revenues start to increase that NOTHING can change at least until the debt is paid off.
5. Finally pass a balanced budget admendment to avoid this mess.
What struck me recently is that our system can work, what I mean is how the Rep/Dem spend money, "We the people" have to put a limit on HOW MUCH THEY GET then they can fight, people can VOTE and life goes on.
As s small business owner this whole mess is worrying me. In the last 5 months I have added 4 jobs, I was planning on adding two more. Watching these clowns on BOTH sided really scares me.

I'm not talkin' about the white collared peons.
I'm talkin about the owners . The rich.
They own everything including the politicians and they own YOU!!!
umm. Nobody owns me. Sorry if the politicians own you or something, that must suck. I get to wake up every morning and do whatever I want.
QuoteIt would be simple if "we the people" actted like "we the people"

QuoteQuoteDo you want this clown to borrow more money from China or to simply print more paper?.
i want him to tax the rich - who are the richest they have ever been in human history and who can afford to pay off the deficit they created...
We have a spending problem, not a revenue problem
Your hard on for the rich is just your jelousy
But in any event
Your solution is loony tunes

QuoteA report from the Internal Revenue Service found that the rich — 8,274 people with incomes of $10 million per year or more — earned a total of $240 billion in 2009.
Even of you confiscated every dime they earned, you would barely have enough money to cover government spending for 24 days.
What would then propose after you add the rich to the welfare lines?
if we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

I read an article recently that made a strong case against a balanced budget amendment (BBA). The language used in bills is not well defined. Thus, inevitably the courts would get involved in resolving budget disputes. If those courts are left leaning, it would present them with an opportunity to become an activist court, and that would be bad for all of us.

Kudos to you! I hope the risk you're taking in life pays off, and that you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Most people have absolutely no idea how difficult it is to start a company, much less keep it going.
QuoteThe money simply isn't there.
sure it is - when 1% of the population own 40% of the nation's wealth...

Do you even know the difference between "wealth" and "income?" If so, then you seem to be advocating the siezure of the assets of US citizens.
