Maybe better suited for Current Events or the Rant House, but I wanted coverage instead of oblivion.
Just a comment.
The debt ceiling increase is needed to pay for what debt has alread7y been created. Republicans cite the Obama Stimulus package. It created debt. I agree. And it went into the pocket of big business billionares considered too big to fail, needed to keep a healthy economy. The economy half tanked anyway. Now we are left with the debt. But who should pay for the debt created to help Wall Street? If you ask Obama then it should be primarily Wall Street. But if you ask Bohener then…no one.
They keep talking about runn9ing a business…America is NOT a fu%k#*g business and it never was a business. Taking care of the old, the sick, the unemployed, what business does that? But they want the Invisible Hand of Adam Smith “to create jobs”. Don’t get involved. Don’t tax these cash cows like Reagan did, like H Bush did, noooooo. We are special. We have signed a pledge (Renquist) not to raise taxes, at any cost, even at the cost, wait for it…the world.
There are no jobs at the current state of affairs, and yet businesses are tax free. Republicans insist that taxing them would make the economy worse, destroy jobs and stifle investment (they must mean in the places “our” businesses outsource to)…then they accuse Obama of scare tactics. Jobs were not created, nor are they being created right now. Huge bonuses for the wealthy americans are and have been created by these wealthy americans for themselves. They are not out for our health, our well being, but for profit margin. If you want to stimulate the creation of jobs you do not need sweeping tax exemptions but tax deductions or tax breaks. You created 10 jobs, then you should have legislation that rewards your effort to employ americans, such as having govt pay half of the wages for the positions you created as an exemption in the tax code. We understand the burden on having kids and how raising your child the right way is a benefit for our country, but that does not make parents untaxable.You get an exemption that is very specific and detailed.
The thing that gets me is that you have these righteous fucks on the right talking about the need to create jobs by reducing govt spending…and thats all? Don’t they know that that will in fact kill jobs because the govt is the biggest employer of americans. You reduce govt and you just increased unemployment lines, simple as that. The current debate has been tied to jobs and the economy by the republicans but it is actually about paying for the debt that helping the business class folks created because of their actions. When will THEY create a stimulous for the people? “Oh, not by taxing them”…“They will rain upon us their blessing when they, of their own accord, create jobs”…“All you have to do is stay off their backs, and their pockets and blessing shall come from these billionares”…Oh how I believe that. They are trying to outsource my job to where they have less regulation so that they can fuck other people’s envoroment too poor and needy to care if the fuck their future, their water, their country for the chance of being the whore of these demi-gods that fly on private jets.
I am with Obama on this. Get some taxes increased. The debt was created to save them from disaster…it is time they say “Thank you”, not with PROMISES of jobs that may or may not come but through hard cash. Taxes existed before, under Republican administrations and the country did well, jobs were created. I don’t know and they never say, weher the hell they get this idea that taxes kill jobs. But what I do have actual experience of is that no taxes on the wealthy has created no jobs and that the american people had to create jobs for themselves by throwing money at these yahoos in stimulus packages that increased our natl debt.
