The Obamanation and his dastardly lib cronies are out to make the most massive welfare state they possibly can. Combine that with the precipitous decline of morals in this country and no nation can withstand it. America will never again be what it once was.
Yes, morals have declined. State approved terrorism and torture for instance. There are other things under the category of “morals” that we might agree on. But if the U.S. does not recover its economic standing, you can thank eight years of Bush mismanagement, four years of Republican obstruction with the goal of making Obama a one term President, and a trivializing of American workers that started with the President elected in 1980. A “welfare state” only exists in the parallel universe you and Ms Benson seem to inhabit.
The tax rates in the 1990s were commensurate with the level of prosperity that existed. Would returning to those levels in a time of recession really help? The number of empty storefronts I see in my area seem to indicate that small business is struggling now without hitting them with the burden of increased taxes.
A Poll – what do you all think qualifies as “rich”? Gross Income of – $90K/yr? $110K/yr We already know that the ATMOTUS believes that a millionaire = Gross Income of $250,000
“Bringing taxes back to levels that worked in the 1990s will wreck small business like they did in the 1990s . . . oh, wait . .” - I notice when people like to bring up the tax levels of the 90s they ignore bringing back the spending levels.
What I would like to know is when Obama is going to quit campaigning and govern? He won the election, now sit down face to face with the republicans and hash this out. Everybody knows the media releases of what they will or won’t go for, now sit down and work it out! Obama’s legacy is going to end up that he campaigned from 2006 until 2016. All these stupid meetings with CEO’s and going on the road are photo ops. The CEO’s like Jeff Immelt and the Pepsi lady are staunch democratic supporters. Get face to face with the republicans and quit wasting time! I would like to hear a detailed proposal from both sides of this argument to know what the real proposals are. All we hear is rhetoric about I won’t do this or that, but not what they propose as a PACKAGE. They wonder why business and “regular people” are so reticent to spend and plan, that’s why. Nobody knows anything except sound bytes and partisan dialog that is non specific.
Sit down and talk, discuss, compare, argue, compromise, resolve and implement. That was always the general process we followed in business to get something done.
Mix a snifter of Bill Mauldin, a dash of Jeff McNelly and a very large dollop of common sense, and you begin to get an idea of Lisa Benson’s considerable talent.

Tax capital gains as income?
Or just quit pretending it isn’t income.

When Republicans’ cable TV bills go up 2% do they try to shut the cable company down?

I pay 7% in taxes for the cable company to supply me with internet and cable. It’s revolting. We should jump the O ship and throw his tea overboard.

The majority has spoken. By all means, write a declaration of independence and secede from the union.

@Ms. Ima
If you want to secede from the Union because of state sales tax… well, then, what can I say but “please go with all haste”?
