Would Obama have to create debt to try and grow jobs if he didn't kill the ones already out there?
Yikes! I coulda sworn that GWB was prez in Decembr 2007 when the recession started! That darn Obama killed the jobs as as Junior Senator from Illinois, man that guy had influence
What was the last Republican Congress' budget deficit?
Which budgets in 2007 and 2008 did Obama vote against?
A progressive tax is fair. A flat tax would kill people. When people like Forbes campaign for a flat tax I know it would be a poison pill. A trust fund billionaire who says he speaks for 'the people' and has their best interests at heart.
Here's some thing I want to know from the Degree enabled entitlement crowd. Did you take a degree that someone considers worth paying you for? (meaning something that actually DOES work that is currently in demand, not a cushy office no-show job) Or did you take something that nobody (or very few) have a need for at this time (education, psychology, history, law, art, music, web design)
Face it, what do you do that is worth paying you what you stupidly paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for by a bunch of scam artists known as the University Board of Regents?
Shit... so I need a degree to be a good bullshitter on paper, even though I've been doing it for decades? This is why the business world sucks sometimes. Degrees are often so overrated while the guy who can actually do the work without it is ignored.Here's some thing I want to know from the Degree enabled entitlement crowd.

It's amazing what degrees will get people to hire you sometimes. My husband had a dual major in journalism/creative writing. Employers across the board LOVE him for this. They're so impressed, God knows why.
He's always said his greatest use in life of his creative writing degree is in being married, though, because being good with words keeps him out of trouble. No idea what he means by that.
Each week I receive an email from careerbuilder.com..Each week there are no fewer than 75 jobs listed in MY chosen category alone. Now if there are no jobs around, how is it these companies are all looking for workers?Do not tell me you can't find a job. What you can't find is a job you WANT. Boo-freaking-hoo. My heart bleeds for you.
You honestly think there's no one out there that can't find a job or are you referring to someone who somehow can't find anything after 99 months?
Where are you getting this number from?Do not tell me you can't find a job. What you can't find is a job you WANT. Boo-freaking-hoo. My heart bleeds for you.

Flat tax. What a scam! The top marginal rate is what 36%? You want that rate to fall to say 17% or a 51% reduction in taxes.The reason we're given to cut their taxes and coddle them is because they are the job creators! Now you want to let them off the hook for that too?Why is it the "wealthys" problem to create jobs? And you don't think the wealthy spend money?
So, in the end, to combat the deficit the only sacrifices must be made by those least capable of sacrificing. The rich got theirs and should bear no burden.
Great! Sell that in an unemployment line!
Flat tax. Then everyone bleeds the same.
No i am not for letting anyone off the hook for paying their fair share of taxes. But that is just it, a FAIR share. If the government wants a % much from me they better better be taking the same % from all of you. It is NOT fair to take more from some and not others just based on how much they have and or don't have.
To combat the deficit we need to decrease spending. Look closely at what you are saying: The only people who should combat the defect and bear the burden are the "rich" because they can afford it.
A tax system where the lower 48% of wage earners pay no Federal income taxes is not "progressive."

Tell that to people who have federal taxes taken out of their pay checks every week.

Based on what definitin of 'fair' exactly? We're all suppose to receive the benefits of our taxes, right? Yet it's fair for one person to have to pay more for those benefits than another? How so?

They pay no income taxes.
You want to comp their Medicare and Social Security contributions, too?
Is that even more "progressive?"
Yeah, and it's a flat tax, to a point, half of it is paid by your employer, and it vastly more fair than the income tax.

The poorest folks pay nothing and you want them to endure a tax increase.
But try to increase the top rate from 36% to 39% and the very Republic itself is at danger!
poor? yes. stupid beyond belief? not quite.
