G O O D ! The government is now getting money from where it should be coming. Looks like lots of loopholes are being closed. :XD:

America Only Loc: From the right hand of God

The government should not need all this so called extra money to begin with. The spending sprees of that Kenyan King is the biggest problem here. That and non thinking minions that decide to support the Muslim Nazi.

Having a job is not a loophole.

Looks like the loophole in your pea sized brain is permanently paralyzed in the wide open position and allowing any relative cognizance to easily slip past the absentee gray matter that has apparently completely ceased to exist.

The current national debt is $18,157,349,308,952.40

If you had even a scintilla of functioning brain matter you would realize that to be so hopelessly drowning in debt means that to place our money in the hands of this government is beyond ludicrous and is defined succinctly with the term lunacy.

But what else should we expect from one who worships a Negroid monkey king.

Don't you get sick of hearing about all the methods of avoiding taxes? These people are enjoying the protection of this country! Why must they be so greedy to look for off-shore banks and investments when they are making their money here? A number of them are transferring their main offices to foreign countries in order to avoid paying taxes on the money they make here. This is a United States! I think it pretty disgusting that those who really do have mucho dollars are looking to cheat the government of what it's owed. Their "tax breaks" were enough for them? Their taxes could be paying to help those less advantaged.

I really get annoyed with companies such as WalMart, et al, who pay their employees so little that they are forced to apply for food stamps, etc. and are directed to do so. Why should the government have to "fill in" for the lack of salary? With low minimum wages offered, these corporations are cheating our government and taking advantage of it and their employees. There wouldn't be so many people needing what you call "hand-outs" if they were paid a living wage. I was forced, for a short while, to have to depend on food stamps and I found shopping rather embarrassing. What these corporations are doing is cheating both the government and the people. Does that sit right with you?

It is not the workers or employed that are in the process of cheating the government. Look to the corporations who do use loopholes. Get your head on! Is it to your benefit to back the people who are screwing you?

I usually do not respond to those with such strong bias. I will break that rule this one time. If the corporations that make their money in this country would pay the taxes they should have been paying all along, this country would not have been in debt. It has always been your stupid Righty Party that gives them the loopholes in payment for getting these crooked politicians in office. Maybe you don't mind being screwed, but I do (that's because I can recognize it when it's happening. You are too busy labeling people to have time or the ability to think.

Have you ever considered that with the additional taxes these corporations have been getting away with, this government might have had the money to be able to afford the space research that had made us number one?

Estate tax is robbery, the government did nothing for that money yet they will remove 55%, bet you'd be real pissed if someone went to your home and removed 55% of your belonging?

The government is screwing you. And you're paying them to do it.

Blade_Runner Loc: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

Ah, you witches that worship big government should be tarred and feathered. Oh, but don't stop stirring that brew:

Double,double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blindworm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing.
For charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

But let not your black hearts be troubled, witchy women: A government big enough to give you everything you need is big enough to take everything you have.

There is always free cheese in a mousetrap.

You have no idea how much TAXATION super large corporations pay as it is. NONE Secondly, show me one place in the US Constitution that says any business owner or well off person has to be forced to support YOU or anyone else? You have been brain washed into thinking large corporations do not pay "their share" of taxes, so now you tell all of us here how much a business should have to pay? And tell everyone what loop hole they have that makes them get away with anything?

The entire rant from the left about taxes is simple. YOU the left, love to have so called FREE programs and want anyone that has money to be the ones to pay for those free programs. YOU decided that everyone else should be responsible for YOU.

I am not a super big business owner like GM or Kmarts, but I pay more already in taxes then what YOU would even imagine. Federal taxes on my own personal income, a federal business tax, a State tax, County Tax, City Tax, and a tax on all the "property" involved in what I own as far as machines, equipment, tools, my inventory, everything connected to running the business is taxed. So now, what loop holes do I have? NONE! You all have been feeding all this garbage about loop holes...the only LOOP hole is in someone's BRAIN that decided to run our National Debt up to over 18 trillion bucks and make it the BUSINESS mans or wealthy's fault.

You want to complain about LOOP holes, how about the LOOP hole that Chucky boy Rangle big time democrat who was elected and sat in the Capital and his job was to write the tax laws....and what? He did not pay ANY taxes for over 20 years...lets here you complain about that or did that slip your mind? AL Sharpton...owes what? 4 Million in taxes????? You see what LOOP holes he used?

The average business that employees over 25 to 50 people pay more in taxes in one year, then what YOU would pay in your entire life. Find a new song to sing. The one you are singing now is getting old.

Perhaps you now see the disadvantage of crafting legislation that has to do with several very different, utterly unrelated propositions -- such as funding for the Department of Homeland Security and and Immigration law bundled together. Obama and the Democrats are insisting on a "clean" bill, and that is what eventually they will get. Obama has out maneuvered the Republicans once again ! What would have happened to each of the increases you mention if they were brought up separately ?
