we are almost at the point where 25% of revenue goes to debt service.
With 16 trillion in debt how is it we are not broke?

Taxes at 60 Year Low

I do love my country which is why I would not want to disproportionately tax the poor and middle class. (which is what a "fair" or flat tax does)
Taxes are fair when everyone pays according to their ability.

Correction, taxes are fair when everyone pays the same rate, regardless of income.
Can anyone give me a link to the location of the unsafe bridges Obama is talking about. I heard someone say Obama isn't telling but I thought I saw someone else say it is known.
But I'm not sure what thread that is in.
Appreciate the help. Thanks.
Look our bridges are inspected every year--by professional people for safety concerns. If a bridge is unsafe--we re-route traffic--and FIX it.

And that proposition disproportionately hurts the poor and middle class who don't have their money socked away in savings, stocks and bonds.
What was the tax system under the Robber Barons? What did that concentration of wealth at the tippy top lead to?

Consumption is the fairest way to tax. In my state we dont have an income tax. We also dont tax food. Did I mention this is a blue state?

I don't necessarily disagree with a consumption tax. That isn't the same as a flat tax.
Bridges seem have the lowest priority when it comes to spending highway funds. As long as we fix the potholes, the public thinks their OK. We have lots of bridges that haven't been painted in 25 years, crumbling foundations, and excessive corrosion. It cost a heck of lot less to maintain them than replace them. The work is going to have to be done and there is no better time to do it than when construction companies are hunger for work and 14 million people are looking for work.
but what to tax for a consumption tax....? do you tax the rich who buy a tax accountant or tax lawyer, or who buy a live in maid or gardener? or yachts? or multiple homes? or for the stock they buy with their money? Or big purchases made over seas? is there a consumption tax on what the wealthiest spend their money on?
i just do not see how a consumption tax would be fair, unless things like the above is considered in the consumption tax....
otherwise, a consumption tax burden is regressive.
There is always specialization, but in construction there is lot of overlap. Bridge repair and construction requires many skills from normal road construction to concrete, steel, earth-moving, engineering, and planning.Bridges seem have the lowest priority when it comes to spending highway funds.

How many of those construction companies and 14 million people now anything about bridge buiding/repair? ??
We're not broke, imbecile. We're still the richest country in the world by a huge margin. We just happen to have a group of rich fucks who would prefer to keep the wealth on their own balance sheets over paying for the infrastructure that helped make them rich.
Unfortunately, they also have undue influence over the government, and a propaganda machine that causes clueless ne'er-do-wells (ahem... YOU...) to take their side on the issue.
It's very sad actually.
Another extraordinarily stupid post by the Gerbil........ maybe you should come out of Richard Gere's colon more often, get a breath of fresh air and wash the dried shit off of your fur.....simpleton rodent.
Thank you for deducting reputation from this loser.
Go away sitardo. Nobody cares what you think.
