a level headed open minded liberal = oxymoron. ----->

this site seems to be largely Republican... Not necessarily Republican, but definitely conservative.

BTW, fully agree with your points. FWIW, there was a wise man that once opined, "“You can’t tax your way into prosperity.” (SIGH!) Wish he were still around...

You get it. Too bad other people don't. Liberal thought does not work, just ask Frankie Roosevelt.

Politics cause way too much hatred just like feelings on abortion, religion, a teachers job, legalize pot, and so many more. Why argue an opinion? You can call something a fact, but there will always be something to counter it. There will always be better and wiser views than yours (whoever is reading this), government will never be small, money will always be wasted, and so and so will be a dumbass.

This thread has gone fairly well actually, where it makes me sick seeing the name calling in most... Get over your strong feelings about something you will never be 100% happy with, and things you have NO control over and go smoke some tires.

Most of us wouldn't even come to agreement on proper air pressure or even the simplest things like how to properly cup a boobie or what is the best underwear for men..

1. 40 PSI
2. From the rear obviously..
3. Expensive boxer briefs

Just glad to see not too much hatin this time. Were MEN, so we will always be able to solve issues over a cold one atleast..PEACE BROTHERS.

So, by inference, if we all adopt socialistic governments, our problems will magically be solved?

Sorry, ain't buying that.

A great point, the wars have cost over $1.3 Trillion, which would be a huge cost savings. I don't think leaving taxes up to whatever people want to donate however will work. There's too many people trying to scam the system that would donate nothing.

But it should all be public knowledge as to exactly where our taxes go. I guess this is addressed by the Freedom of Information act, however no one is going to read a bill that is 5000 pages long. How about we instead institute a 3 page limit to all bills, eliminate earmarks, and give everything a straight thumbs up or down vote

I like that idea

LOL, I don't even want to know why you think of boobies and mens underwear at the same time.

Big ++++++111111. From behind is always the best way to grab boobies, that way you can get a good rub on the arse.

that having been said, I have truly enjoyed this thread because it has been an open discussion with some ideas and not the name calling that you mentioned. We all come from different walks of life and have different things that are important to us. We come together in a community where we ahve something in common= The Mighty Marauder, and from there we ahve shared a number of things, helped each other out, argued, but at the end of the day all is always cool.

The politicians could learn something from mm.net (Both sites actually. How to act from Mercury Marauder.net, and how to order an asian mail bride from mm.net)

I have learned something, I did not know mega-corporations could be classified as small business. That is B.S., I'm going to incorporate myself as a small business entity and get tax write offs.

Did you happen to see the new unemployment figures for this month? We had a month of job losses and unemployment has gone up to 9.7 percent. This is the longest run ever (history of the US) for the unemployment rate to be over 9 percent!

I read that the real unemployment rate is an unbelievable -17%! These are levels never seen before in our country and it's worse then the depression era.

We've got some major problems my brothers.

You are a small business Casey, you walk the streets for money as Casey Garvin-Male Prostitute. Your a small business with a small package

I have to admit, I didn't know that either about corporations. There are so many loopholes in the tax code, perhaps greater effort should be put towards closing those loop holes, then we wouldn't have to worry about the tax cut or increase.

I understand your point Kernie, but it is tough to compare many of those countries to the United States. As a world leader, we face different challenges than a Switzerland or Sweden, or really even France for that matter. When something major goes wrong in the world, all those countries are able to bow out as far as participation, unfortunately we have not been so lucky.

We also face different issues. As a spoiled nation we want to have our cake and eat it to. Our country as a whole is obsessed with keeping up with the Joneses and getting what we want. We have bread a culture of I want it now and I'll worry about it in the future.

We also have a larger population, more land mass in many cases, as well as 50 states to worry about. Our country was designed to give power to the states as well as the Fed and sometimes the needs of the individual state are completely different from the Fed.

I think there are some things to learn from some of those countries, but they ahve some things to learn from us as well.

Any business owner who is taxed as an individual continues with the current tax rate on a pro-rata share for the time they own the business. This makes certain the small business owner, where ~80% of new jobs come from in a recovery/recession, does not get hit with the tax increase.

It will also encourage people to become business owners providing much needed capital. For ever $1 Gov't borrows it crowds out 33 cents in private capital. In 2 years Gov't has borrowed ~$3.5 Trillion chocking off private capital to the point of strangulation.

Funny - I heard yesterday that a government spokesperson said " not extending jobless benefits will put up to 600,00 more people out of work"....

What is wrong with the government when they are looking at the "spending" habits of the unemployed to fuel growth? These guys have no fiscal compass what so ever. Just goes to show that you need demonstrated real world experience to run a country.......

Not community organizing kiss a$$ both side of the mouth shmoozing skills...
