Zeelander: You think we who pay taxes get representation? There are many cities in this country that charge an income tax for working within that city, yet we have no right to vote in that city's election. That is taxation without representation.

We are not about ending taxes totally. It is a change in the taxation structure. We want to abolish the IRS and their inferior practices and replace it with a consumption tax. You buy something you are taxed. The rich tend to buy bigger and more expensive things, so they pay more into the system. People that live here illegally will also pay into the tax system when thy purchase things, unlike today where they don't pay anything into the system, but are able to use it for free. A 23% consumption tax across the board will fill the government coffers faster and keep them full as opposed to the 25%+ income tax as well as a state sales tax which costs the people more yet yields much less.


Actually I see where you are coming from. However, I learned in economics (the little I know) that consumption taxes are regressive and hit the poor more than the rich. That is why the rich favour them and avoid income taxes like the plague!

NeWildflower: My chickens are free range. I never have to buy them feed! That's an option for you or anyone who wants to raise chickens~ just provide clean water and you're good!


Good, then when the other egg prices sky-rocket, the free-range eggs I buy should become the cheapest since their prices shouldn't go up at all. thumbs up

Gary,

You need to be set straight on a few things.

#1 Republicans have no problem with a black man as president. It was the Republicans worked to free the slaves in the United States. It was the Democrats who tried to preserve slavery, and initiated the KKK when they failed at preserving slavery. Check your history, and let go of that bullshit.

#2 No one beats a liberal when it comes to whining. Look at how the gays whined when they lost the election in Californian last fall. Liberals whined no end for years after GWB won his second term and never stopped claiming he stole the election.

Never mine that your baby Obama isn't even constitutionally qualified to be president, lied about his place of birth, and corrupted the election via ACORN.

Don't acknowledge Obama comes from the most corrupt political precinct in the coutnry where 3 or 4 of the last governors ended their terms in prison, where tax rates are some of the highest in the world, and the quality of education is at the bottom of the barrel.

Don't face the facts that Obama's administration passed the biggest pork barrel spending bills this year, so fast, that most of the Democrats in both houses didn't even read the bill. (Or have their policy wonks read it.) Better brace yourself for the high interest rates and inflation that is headed our way right now because of the foolish and dangerous Federal deficit spending.

Overlook how Democrat Barney Frank and the Clinton Administration sowed the seeds of the sub-prime mortgage collapse with their thinly veiled civil rights efforts via Fanny Mae and Freddy Mack. Barney Frank has presided over the two institutions for over 10 years, while siphoning off millions of dollars as the two collapsed.

Ignore how Pelosi feels she is justified in flying herself on Military aircraft across the country, the most expensive mode she could choose, every week, because nothing is too good for her. She hates the United States military anyway. I supposed you do too.

Yeah I know, your a liberal. Don't confuse your mind with facts, because you have already made it up. I imagine you're a socialist too, because capitalism is too hard. Whine whine.

lets see where do i start, first Obama came in to this mess , left buy bush. i. cant say i,m really in love with Obama either,sounds like same old republican trick. when all else fails. blame bill Clinton. and the reason why republican are all whining you can blame this on bush. the American people got sick of bushs failed policies. he wars, mostly Iraq, [got no problem with afghanistan they had it coming.]just face the facts. your republican party had control of congress for 6 years. they done such a great job. that's why they vote them out of office,

Blaming others?? Puuulleeaaase, Obama has taken the unwritten rule of the incoming president to not blame the previous president, and he is doing that at every turn. Of course Bush (and Paulson) wrong for the initial financial "bailout" for hundreds of billions of dollars, but what does it say for Obama's competence to QUADRUPLE the nation's deficit in 6 months?! That's called throwing good money on top of bad, then seeing the jobless rate RISE--after he said by not passing the "stimulus" the jobless rate would hit 8%, only to watch it hit near 10% WITH passage of the "stimulus" bill.

Obama's fiscal idiocy projects out to spending 100% OF OUR NATIONAL GDP, a level not seen since the 1940s (and during an era with FAR less infrastructure and industrial base vs. today). Add to that Captain Inept taking a (nearly) $1 trillion "cap and trade" bill (why doesn't he just call it what it is--an ENERGY TAX BILL) that will pile on between $1600-$3200 on each American family, to combat the VERY fraudulent "global warming" that doesn't exist (temps are 2 degrees LOWER than they were in the 1930s, btw). Now the idiot wants to take the best healthcare in the world and turn it into HEALTHCARE RATIONING, which is exactly what is happening in places like Canada, UK, France, etc.,and "only" pay another trillion or so to see that happen.

If you look at the basket case of an economy that Reagan inherited from Carter (inflation was FAR higher then than it was when Obama took office), yet Reagan never once blamed Carter. Reagan implemented the TRIED AND TRUE SUPPLY SIDE ECONOMICS and it created over 20 million jobs in 8 years. Obama is showing us Economic Suicide 101: Unprecedented Spending AND Raising Taxes.

If Obama has anyone to blame, the answer will be staring at him in the mirror, but he'll be too much of a coward to take the responsibility.

Uhm, it's not my republican party, as I'm a conservative first, and that's the problem-there are too few CONSERVATIVES in the Republican party.

And I might add, that Obummer is making things far worse by spending our money on programs we didn't even vote for.

sounds really funny. if that's the case why did both the congress and the house are now run buy democrats. its because the American people got sick of bush's wars. his tax breaks to his rich friends. mainly the oil companies. so you CONSERVATIVES or republicans can complain all you want. you have no power left. so you can thank your buddy bush for that one.

Funny, I didn't meet one Republican at the Tea Party. The speaker railed just as hard if not slightly harder against the Republican party than the Current administration. A lot of what I took away from this event was taking the power away from the Federal Government and bringing it back to the individual states.

The speakers also talked of the bailouts. I have to look this up, but it was said that with GM, a 2 billion dollar company was given 30 billion dollars..... Where is the economic sense in that? It would have been better to give the 28 billion to the workers and and say have a nice day.

Bailouts are nothing more that the purchasing of votes.....

You are right. The republicans went against the party's core principles. That is why they are no longer in control. They were spending like Democrats. Many republicans have left the party because of it.

You have hit the nail on the head. It is time to flush the players of both parties and hire people that truly are for the people and not their parties.

I saw a great sign at the tea party.... "Cap and Trade.... Cap the spending and Trade the Politicians."
gary61 wareplace, South Carolina USA
but lets be honest both parties are in this for there self. so if you think your congress and house gives a crap about us. you are sadly mistaking.
