you two are terribly misguided.
the money that people are getting in stimulus checks is THEIR money, YOUR money, MY money (although i didn't qualify for one). it is not the GOVERNMENT'S money. the government doesn't earn any money. heckle is right about one thing: the only way the gov't gets money is thru taxes.
you can keep taxes low on individuals and they keep more of their own earnings and in turn put more into the economy. then thru sales tax, corporate tax, business tax, etc. the gov't gets money.
if you do the opposite (which dems are fond of) you get a totally different result. sure, the gov't gets their money but it comes straight out of the pockets of the working folks; you, me, everyone! we get nothing for it. when gov't slaps higher taxes on business the result is that prices go up and guess who ends up paying those higher taxes? you, me, and everyone else.
the economy is better and the gov't actually takes in MORE when taxes on individuals are LOWER! this has been proven time and time again. the opposite effect has also been shown time and time again but dems still don't get it. i think that has something to do with dems still believing that history began this morning. jimmy carter tried WINDFALL PROFIT TAXES and we went straight into the crapper as a result. inflation skyrocketed and so did unemployment. yet, you dems want to try it again. absolutely ridiculous!

Congress can start to getting the country back on track again by putting into effect, WINDFALL PROFITS TAXES. Take the Obscene Profits from the Oil Industry. And take back the Obscene WINDFAll PROFITS from the rich Republicans who were given Obscene Tax breaks so that they can stimulate the economy by stimulating Business. PHAW !! Where would the Profits go? Ahhhh the red herring of "windfall profits" rides again. The government has taken in trillions in taxes over the past twenty five years from the oil companies, while the oil companies have profited mere billions. Where, exactly, is the windfall and just who do you think is going to wind up paying for those increased taxes? Yes... let's get back to unregulated corporations, cooking the books, borrowing from the Social Security trust fund to make things balance. By all means..... Phaw yourself. |

The only way the Federal Government will get any money is by TAXES. Cutting spending is a nice idea, but it will never catch up to TAXATION. Bushy Boy thinks he conned all the American people By Giving $300 + to most Americans, and I suppose to lots of foriegners too, in order to stimulate the Economy. That money had to come from somewhere. It will come from TAXES. Now, how does that sound,when done by a Republican? Let me see. The head of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, states we need some type of Economic Stimulus or we may well slide into a recession. The cause, the slumping housing industry, which was urged into subprime loans by the ever vigilant democrats who were claiming that poor minorities were not being given an opportunity to own homes. The very scheme used to give these loans was created by one of Obama's people, Penny Pritzker. No wonder he picked her to be his national finance chairwoman, she knows how to rob you blind. Congress can start to getting the country back on track again by putting into effect, WINDFALL PROFITS TAXES. Take the Obscene Profits from the Oil Industry. And take back the Obscene WINDFAll PROFITS from the rich Republicans who were given Obscene Tax breaks so that they can stimulate the economy by stimulating Business. PHAW !! Where would the Profits go? So, now it is obscene to make a profit? What, the only people who should be allowed to screw you out of your money are democrats? You probably do not even know what is causing the price of oil to rise, though I am sure you will say it is consumption. Let's get back to the "Bill Clinton System" and get the country Rolling in Dough again. Yes, let's get back to the "Newt Gingrich and the New Republican's System" which you have co-opted to be Bill's, though he was dragged kicking and screaming into acceptance. And lastly, I know you want your posts to have the appearance of intelligence and volume, which is probably why you do not utilize the wrapping feature of the internet webpages and create your own paragraphs with the return key. Since Al Gore created the internet, and he is your hero, you should be able to utilize the feature intuitively. After all, every good democrat want's to be like Al, right? |

Well, seems we have a budget, and they even closed the tax loop hole for yachts for you Mink. Which leads me to the question, do you pay state tax on all your out of state purchases?
