I agree and even under a flat tax they would still pay the most. My ex father in law who was wealthy argued that the rich should pay nothing in taxes because they created the jobs. He also felt that anyone who worked for someone else was basically just a sponge on society and that all manufacturing jobs should be shipped overseas. We in the US should all start our own businesses???

A flat tax was almost a sin to him.

I’m all for cutting federal spending.

Where would you start?

 

Your 'ex father in law'' doesn't speak for the majority, just his own worthless opinion.

First: turn the entitlements over to the States

Second: rid the federal fucking government of several unnecessary ''Departments'' and ''Agencies''.

Third: Return the Nation back to the original intent of the federal fucking government.

My perfect wet dream.

 

I wish your ex father in law got a job composing campaign speeches and literature for Republicans running for office. Your ex father in law talked the way rich Republicans talk to each other when they do not think anyone else is listening.

 

But...but...but, someones was listening.

Isn't Billy and Hillary rather rich? and their Democrats?

 

You think rich Democrats are hypocritical and that poor Democrats are envious.

 

Well I worked for someone else so it was an attack on my work ethic. Yes he was a republican but I don’t think that is typical republican thinking. I’m not a Republican I am an independent.

 

My ex father in law was a jerk and I agree that his opinion was worthless and that he did not speak for the party.

I like that you have specific ideas.

When I have tried to get some others on here to be specific about remedies they waffle and waver or are vague or try to change the issue.

 

....if the shoe fits...

 

I think I need to clear something up, I'm not a ''republican'' I despise the majority of the fuckheads in Congress.

There are only a very small handful of 'Republicans' that I can tolerate...I'm a true Constitutionalist.

 

I personally don’t think anyone should be a member of any party. Mix it up and don’t be afraid to vote third party. The only wasted vote is for the wrong set of values.

 

In haven't seen anything that I support coming from a third party, or the left, and for that matter, not much from the right either....yet I still vote.

 

Since when do you learn anything?

I'm OK with it but any oil tanker leaving Alaska bound for Greenland and the Atlantic still has to go through the Panama Canal. No Northwest Passage.

 

How about we sell you the falklands instead?
Its slighty smaller but as a bonus it will mightily piss off the argies
