If people are so pissed, why oppose raising the taxes on these Corporations? Why oppose closing the loopholes that give these and other such Corporations taxpayer subsidies? Why oppose trade laws that limited outsourcing? People keep wanting to point the finger at the President, but he is not the one outsourcing jobs. He’s not the one sitting up factories in China, Japan, Mexico and Brazil.SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.0

Government controls how much is spent.

government = corporation ...
why do you think there are loopholes for corporations like haliburton from having to adhere to the clean water act? ... why do you think corporations routinely violate environmental regulations and laws? ... why do you think the US is in Iraq?0 -

Government controls how much is spent.
Government controls how much is taken in.
and Gov't can set new standards for Corporations to pay more in taxes...and control how much is taken in therefore they can raise taxes to cover what is spent...

Why didn't they address it last year? Or the year before? Why did it take a debt limit to force the issue? And why does the taxpayer have to chip in to fix their fuck-up? And why are people OK with that concept?Be Excellent To Each OtherParty On, Dudes!0 -

you speak of the gov't as if it were a single person that you want to give a nice stern talking to...and funny how the debt limit is suddenly the the single biggest issue ever...
the reason we are in the mess is unfunded wars and tax cuts (lack of revenue to cover spending for silly things like roads, schools, police, natural disasters)...
it's as if you're bitching to the waitstaff after you received your check for a big meal...
time to pay up...it's that simple...0 -

You want to be specific, because we didn’t get to this point in the budget or economic crisis overnight?SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure.
