An idea on taxes and tax breaks!

[cburke82]

Arguing about what percentage to make a corporate tax is a political diversion from the real issues.

Our bloated and wasteful federal government is an addict and tax dollars are the addiction.

So how do we get these crybabies to figure out how to spend there money. Nobody on capital hill can agree on what to cut but they all say there needs to be cuts made. So nothing gets done.

I think dog meant to say the same percentage, not the same dollar amount.

Correct, Percentage. But, even look at it again, it is still fair...just remove all the zeros!

Call, write, fax, email your representative and your senators. Encourage others to do the same.

Losing their cushy jobs is all they understand and it motivates them.

In my view, we can do away with a large portion of federal agencies that are redundant and do nothing but soak up tax dollars. We can start with the dept. of education, dept. of energy, dept. of the interior. Each state has their own of these. There is no need to have them at the federal level.

Let me be clear. I am not against government. I am against giant, bloated, inefficient bureaucracies at the federal level. If California wants to run their state that way, thats fine with me, but leave my state the hell alone.

That's the biggest beef I have. They are taking away our ability to vote with our feet by making blanket policies at the federal level.

The vast majority of people in my state did not want Obamacare, yet it was shoved down our throats anyway. That, I have a huge problem with.

I think that a lot of the stuff that gets past on the federal level should have to be on a ballot somewhere before or after it gets to congress and the senate. For example, why can they vote and pass bills to give them selves a raise. Can I have that setup please? Last time I checked the tax payers pay there paychecks so if anybody is getting a raise shouldn't the taxpayers have to vote for that?

Like you say they dont want to loose there jobs but then again they need all those contributions to run again so they have to make sure they satisfy there biggest supporters and once that is done they can work on what needs to be done if there is any time left. One of the big problems is the fact that a lot of people vote without thinking, so who ever has the more flashy campaign wins.

And even if we do our research there are far to many time when the 2 people up for any position on that ballot are both no good and you just have to pick the one who will screw things up the least. But then the people who might really change things cant get the funding for a flashy campaign so they never get on the ballot and we start the cycle over again.

Exactly! CCB is going up for vote before the Senate on Friday, 7/22, or Saturday, 7/23. So YES! Call, write, email your Senator and tell them to vote for CCB, show some testicular fortitude, do the right thing, and put CCB before Obama!

That's not exactly what is happening. The pay raise is automatic. They have to vote not to take it.

Figure the odds.
