wanting to raise the debt limit and spend more money which means borrow more money.  you should be telling those liberal free spenders to stop spending money on aid to other countries and save that money.  you should be telling them to close all tax loopholes across the board and go to a flat tax of 10-15% across the board for everyone so that percentage wise the millionares pay the same as those making 50k.  right now 51% of the american population pays ZERO taxes yet they scream that they want their food stamps and welfare and medicaid and the rich should pay even more then their already high 39%.did i mention that 51% pay ZERO taxes ever?  oh and they also get money back in a lot of cases. for what? they didnt pay in in the first place.  by going to a flat tax you can reduce the size of the IRS by 80% and that would save millions in tax payer money that pays their salaries. then those people can go to the private sector, increase the tax base and contribute to the federal governments coffers. additionally, if you cut out all of the loopholes in corporate taxes and drop the tax rate to 25% instead of 35% which is the highest corporate tax in the world, you would not have companies like GE who made 14 billion in profits last year paying a whopping ZERO corporate taxes.  instead they would have paid 3.5 billion in taxes. that would have gone a long way to help our economy wouldnt it?  funny though, the CEO of GE is one of the presidents JOB CSARs.  hmmm weird how that works huh?  cuz i sure dont see you or anyone else protesting that guy and he is sending thousands of jobs to....wait for it..... thats right .....CHINA!!!! mmm imagine that?  funny how that works. you should probably do a little research on your own and study the truth in history.  i wouldnt want your parents to think that they wasted all of their hard earned money on a crappy education for you. considering that if you get your way your gonna have to take care of them because their retirement will be gone.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml'

type='text'>were you dropped on your head or something?  you n...</title><content type='html'>were you dropped on your head or something?  you need to really think about this and make an informed decision son.  first off lets see what these people are saying.  they want to violently over throw the government of our nation.  if they do that what next?  total anarchy in the street?  you take charge? who or what replaces it? second, they want to COLLAPSE the American economy and the U.S. dollar.  again i ask, what then? all of your parents savings gone in a second.  the money you have in your pocket worthless.  food in the grocery stores wiped out because gas prices would be to high for the truckers to fill up their gas tanks in order to get food to the stores.  what do you replace it with?  do you have a huge pot of gold at the end of your liberal rainbow no one knows about? if so, dont tell anyone because that makes you part of the so called 1%.  if not, how do you put gas in your car?  food in your house? pay your rent?  do you actually think that the government will step in and make everything better?  i have news for you my friend, they wont?  the government gets its revenue from the tax payers that are in the private sector.  all of the government employees get paid by the government which means that their salaries come from the tax revenue from the private sector.  if the private sector collapses because the economy goes down where does the government get its revenue? just turn on the printing press and make more? it doesn&amp;#39;t quite work that way.  the dollar used to be back by gold that we have stored in ft knox but more than 3 decades ago the government decided we were going to go off of the gold standard and go to a GDP based economy which means that the U.S government was basing its currency on the amount of revenue it takes in based on the size of the economy and the annual GDP.  the problem is someone in washington didnt learn that key lesson about not spending more than you earn.  so every year our government takes in 2.7 trillion dollars in revenue but spends 3.9 trillion in its obligations.  for you math geniuses out there that means that somewhere they have to come up with another 1.2 trillion every year.  and where do you think they get that money? thats right my friend...CHINA!!! the problem now is this.  the federal reserve has decided to print more one dollar bills than we earn and pay china and other countries the money we owe them.  in doing so they have now bought our own debt.  what does that do to the dollar?  well let me tell you in simple terms.  if for example you buy a big jar of peanut butter at a cost of 5 dollars a jar today and tomorrow the fed prints 20 percent more dollars than they had in the system today then each one of those 5 dollars you spent yesterday is now worth 20% less.  in order for the manufacturer of the jar that peanut butter came in to continue to make enough profit to pay their employees they have to now charge the peanut butter company 20% more for that jar and the peanut compay now has to charge 20% for its product to pay for the manufacturing and the jar which means that when you go in the same store to buy the same peanut butter you now pay 6 dollars instead of 5 dollars.  now magnify that to everything in the economy and that is what inflation is.  if the fed keeps printing money the inflation will continue to climb and so will the price of your peanut butter and everything else.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml'
