Hey we're right on the border...What goes on in your country affects ours...We are brother and sister countries so UMMMMMMM I think there should be concerned...

Look at his last response... wasting your breath!

Oh and that should be...*concern... Before the spelling police get here!!!!!!!!

Thank you!

Prolly too early to introduce the idea of a group hug

Wondered where Mr. Sensitivity has been.

Been handing out florescent light bulbs one home at a time. I CARE about the environment




Mr. SENSITIVITY

But you have no right in trying to influence our politics!

You cannot vote here!
Hence you are just blowing steam when you speak!



And it stinks!

The US should have no business trying to influence the politics of other countries, yet they do!

Our share of the debt as it stands right now is at $175,000.00 per person.

The problem is we are spoiled and don't want to live within our means. The Social Security and Medicare liabilities we have left to our children, and grandchildren, and great-grandchildren run into the TENS of TRILLIONS of dollars. In the future, there will be no money for roads, or bridges, or schools. Social Security and Medicare will consume virtually our entire budget. And every year we avoid fixing it just makes it that much worse. It's not going to be pretty.

I will again post a plan, that has real promise, quit belly aching and do something about it!
Pressure congress to act on a bill like this one before CONGRESS NOW!

This is a concept to reduce Individual income taxes to zero and reduce Employment taxes to 2% without lowering the tax revenues going to the U.S. Treasury. After 40 years, most if not all taxes will be collected from the unused Retirement Savings Accounts of people who die.



This concept would do the following:

* Allow individuals to save 3%-5% of their income each year in a 401k type account that will be invested in no-load mutual funds like the "S&P 500" "The Total Stock Market" and/or bond funds. The type of funds will depend on a person’s tolerance for risk and the number of years before retirement.
* At retirement, a percentage of the assets in the accounts will be converted to income producing instruments that will pay interest only payments each month. The principal is never spent and is left in the account until death. After death the assets in the account are converted to cash and are paid to the U.S. Treasury.
* After 40 years, with all Americans over the age of 18 participating, this concept will generate more income to the U.S. Treasury than the present Individual income tax collection system and the total saved each year will be no greater than 5% of their gross income per person. (10% total for husband and wife with one or two incomes.)
* It will substantially increase the retirement income for seniors over that received from Social Security.
* All "stay at home moms" will save for retirement equally with spouse.
* In a two income family, each person can save up to 5% of their combined annual income.
* The "Tax" will not be collected until the death of both husband and wife, leaving both retirement accounts for the use of the surviving spouse.
* It will simplify the IRS tax code and Social Security.
