We could have solved simple poverty; but, the rich wanted their bailout.

what part of "labor cost" do you not understand? There is no reason for that tax preference, at US labor's expense.I make a motion to end the labor cost tax preference, for foreign labor employed by US Firms. Only US labor should qualify US Firms for a tax preference.

Let's get serious, for 36+ years the GOP has had a goal of "starve the beast" which ISN'T for making deficits or debt smaller!
Yes starve the beast since the beast according to our genius and saintly Founders was the thing that needed to be starved most!! Why do you oppose the basic principle of America?
But also they have shut down the govt, opposed debt ceiling increases, and signed the Pledge as our Founders would have wanted
but mostly they have introduced 30 Balanced Budget Amendments since Jefferson's first to make debt illegal. Libcommie Democrats have killed every one of them. Do you know why? Do you know why our liberals spied for Hitler and Stalin and elected Obama/Sanders?
More of your BS, Hint Geo Washington and the Whiskey Rebellion AGAIN Bubs
Balanced budget amendments? LMAOROG, After BJ Bill's first surplus the GOP passed a $792+ billion tax cut he had to veto to get 3 more surpluses, THEN the Dubya/GOP policy took over and we saw how fiscally conservative you Klowns were!
You're really one of the most ignorant on this board Bubs, and that's a low bar!
A tax on consumable items that you can choose to purchase or not isn't the same thing as a tax on one's labor...now is it? You can avoid the gas tax by not having a car, no? BTW, there never was a "surplus" under Bill "drop trou"...it's a total myth. The last time USA.INC ever had a "surplus" was under Andrew Jackson when he refused to renew the charter of the central bank. What was the public debt under Bill "drop trou"????? The total national debt on September 30th, 2000 was 5.6 trillion dollars....so what about that alleged "surplus"? Bushpuppet doubled it and then the Barrypuppet doubled it...see? That is what happens when you have a debt based fiat currency system with a central banking system...it's nothing but a machine of perpetual debt slavery.
Ah another right winger not understanding the difference with a yearly budget and the debt. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.
Q: During the Clinton administration was the federal budget balanced? Was the federal deficit erased?
A: Yes to both questions, whether you count Social Security or not.
The Budget and Deficit Under Clinton - FactCheck.org
About 90% of current debt can be traced back to POLICIES by Ronnie Reagan AND Dubya
"Starving the beast" is a political strategy employed by American conservatives to limit government spending by cutting taxes, in order to deprive the federal government of revenue in a deliberate effort to force it to reduce
spending.
Before his election as President, then-candidate Ronald Reagan foreshadowed the strategy during the 1980 US Presidential debates, saying "John Anderson tells us that first we've got to reduce spending before we can reduce taxes. Well, if you've got a kid that's extravagant, you can lecture him all you want to about his extravagance. Or you can cut his allowance and achieve the same end much quicker."
Starve the beast - Wikipedia
No, what remains at the end of the day is the 5.6 Trillion dollars owed to the foreign owned central bank known as the "Federal Reserve" after Bill "drop trou" left office and that debt has doubled with each presidency. You have a lot to learn. Have you ever heard of the "Grace Commission"? How the "income tax" does not fund "da gubermint" but pays the interest to the mostly foreign owned private bank known as the "Federal Reserve" that is neither "federal" and has no reserves"????

THAT $20 TRILLION IN DEBT CAN BASICALLY BE TRACED BACK TO 2 GUYS POLICIES SINCE 1981 (Hint RR, Dubya)
Ignore the black fella who added $9.3 trillion, eh?

Transfer payments are $1 trillion a year higher than before the crisis.
Are you saying that poor black fella was powerless to make any changes during his 8 years?
He has zero responsibility for the $9.3 trillion addition to the debt?
Got it, you can't name the policy/laws by the black guy that caused the debt. Let me help
REAGAN/BUSH TAX CUTS WERE THE BIGGEST DRIVERS OF DEBT. Dubya's UNFUNDED wars came in second.
lets be serious! Republicans have always been for making deficits and debt illegal while Democrats have killed each and every effort because they don't want to risk always more welfare entitlement spending that they use to buy votes.
Let's get serious, for 36+ years the GOP has had a goal of "starve the beast" which ISN'T for making deficits or debt smaller!
THE ONLY 2 GUYS TO LEAVE THE NEXT GUYS A SMALLER DEFICIT THAN THE ONE THEY INHERITED WERE BJ BILL AND OBAMA

I'll wait for your BS interpretation on the Chapter 11 nonsense!
Yeah, "labor"....why should my exchanging one hour of my skill and labor for something I can use as a medium of exchange be subjected to a tax? I know the reason as to why it is done and it's not for the reasons that you think it is nor is it even constitutional and before 1933, the SCOTUS ruled that the 16th amendment did not give "da gubermint" any new taxing powers.

Before I school you about the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy of March 5th, 1933 and how that pertains to what we are dealing with today, I would like your response to the above question and I want to see you justify a progressive income tax and what exactly is "income" as it pertains to Black's Law dictionary 6th Edition...........

LABOR is getting paid, regardless of how you are paid, consumable or not!
Jackson? Oh right the possibly worst Prez EVER. Follow what happened after the debt was cleared up
No, we are not "paid", we are given a medium of exchange that has no intrinsic value that cannot be exchanged for REAL money which is silver/and or gold. That was done away with when USA.INC declared Bankruptcy in March of 1933 and under penalty of a huge fine and a five year prison sentence, the people had to turn in their REAL money (gold) in exchange for a Federal Reserve Note and people lost allodial rights to property. Are you familiar with HJR 192 per chance?
Care to name the policies the black guy passed that created that debt Bubs? Oops
Here is the result of his policies. First president in history to go his entire term without having a single year of growth above 3%. This was caused by his policies restricting the growth of companies, halting new businesses and limiting the number of employees. The failed Obamacare scam has also added greatly to our debt.

THE ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES OF MR. BUSH
The next president will have to deal with yet another crippling legacy of George W. Bush: the economy. A Nobel laureate, Joseph E. Stiglitz, sees a generation-long struggle to recoup.
The Economic Consequences of Mr. Bush
OCTOBER 17, 2008
The Economic Blue Screen of DeathTheir work suggests that this growth was entirely due to MEWs. In fact, MEWs contributed over 3% to GDP growth in 2004 and 2005, and 2% in 2006. Without US homeowners using their homes as an ATM, the economy would have been very sluggish indeed, averaging much less than 1% for the six years of the Bush presidency.
Let's look at a graph I used two years ago, from work done by James Kennedy and Alan Greenspan, on the effect of mortgage equity withdrawals (MEWs) on the growth of the US economy.
Notice that in both 2001 and 2002, the US economy continued to grow on an annual basis (the "technical" recession was just a few quarters).
Their work suggests that this growth was entirely due to MEWs. In fact, MEWs contributed over 3% to GDP growth in 2004 and 2005, and 2% in 2006. Without US homeowners using their homes as an ATM, the economy would have been very sluggish indeed, averaging much less than 1% for the six years of the Bush presidency.
Indeed, as a side observation, without home equity withdrawals the economy would have been so bad it would have been almost impossible for Bush to have won a second term.

What did Obama do to cause all those things?
Be specific.
You first Bubba, YOU asked about the debt under Obama, I asked for HIS policies that created it???? I'll wait
He was President for 8 years. He didn't put any policies in place?
I guess he wasn't so smart.
Got it, you can't name the policy/laws by the black guy that caused the debt. Let me help

That's awful! And then Obama continued Bush's cuts.
And blew $800 billion on a "stimulus" package.
Dubya's UNFUNDED wars came in second.
Didn't the black fella end those wars and save us trillions?
If by extended you meant blackmailed by the GOP Dec 2010? YEP
Stimulus? Right WAY to small to fill the whole 8 years of Dubya/GOP policy put US in. But it still stopped US from going into GOP great depression 2.0
What Debate? Economists Agree the Stimulus Lifted the Economy
https://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/30/...ree-the-stimulus-lifted-the-economy.html?_r=0
“The stimulus worked” is the overwhelming conclusion of a panel of elite economists surveyed as part of the University of Chicago’s IGM Economic Experts Panel. The survey asked whether the unemployment rate at the end of 2010 was lower than it would have been because of the U.S. government’s 2009 fiscal stimulus act. Out of the 37 panelists who responded, 36 agreed, an even better response than an identical 2012 survey.

Sorry the black guy can't put wars back in the box after Dubya opened up those TRILLIONS of dollars wars!
If by extended you meant blackmailed by the GOP Dec 2010? YEP
Smartest president in the history of forever continued the Bush tax cuts. LOL!
“The stimulus worked” is the overwhelming conclusion of a panel of elite economists
Awesome! What did we get for that $800 billion?
Among those who responded, 36 agreed that the stimulus bill had lowered the unemployment rate,
By how much?
Sorry the black guy can't put wars back in the box
But he was gonna make the world love and respect us again. What went wrong?
"Awesome! What did we get for that $800 billion?"
