    I agree in principle with all of this but I think the opportunity starts with the economy.

    The percentage of taxes does not have to change, it is the size of the tax base that must change. You increase the tax base by adding jobs and creating an environment where capitalism and free enterprise thrive. To sustain the standard of living in this country you must create wealth (wealth in a generic term, not wealthy per se). You must create something that people demand. Thats the problem with government. It doesn't create anything, just spends. Obviously much of the expense is necessary but you must have a tax base that is growing at a pace that is faster then the grown or the expenditures of government. How to do that is where the political divide is.

    The irony is that the 47% of Americans who do not pay taxes consume the overwhelming majority of the tax revenue. I would be in total favor of a flat tax for everyone, rich and poor but prosperity in of itself is all of the tax overhaul a nation really needs.

    Who are these 47% and can you provide a link?

    I agree. I also think we have more opportunities to create growth than we're aware of. And that again is where education on all levels comes in.

    My 47% came from 2009 numbers. More current numbers are either 46.4

    I need to ammend the original statement. I should have said paid no federal income tax. There are other taxes that they do pay ofcourse.

    And for an added touch, set up a hotline to report law enforcement and their potential enforcement of the law under the guise of protecting civil liberties.

    So Arizona recieved a world class smack down for having the audacity to try and protect its own borders.
    That's the tall and short of it.

    B.O. and two other stooges, Eric Witholder and former Arizona governor Janet Napoleonano, have made an example of Arizona for the other states, that being to shut up and do as your told.

    I'm beginning to think that if the Court rules against any consequential part of BOCare Thursday, B.O. will just ignore any decision he doesn't like or change it for the worse.

    B.O. is flexing more and more of those imperial powers that have been in the making in earnest, beginning with CIA Poppy Bush.

    Quote from that page

    Last June, my colleague Bob Williams posted a TaxVox article that reported 47 percent of American households paid no federal income tax in 2009. Bob was exactly right, but rarely has a bit of data been so misunderstood, or so misused.
    Let me explain—repeat actually—what this means: About half of taxpayers paid no federal income tax last year. It does not mean they paid no tax at all. Many shelled out Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes. In fact, only 14 percent of Americans didn’t pay either income or payroll taxes. Some paid property taxes and, it is fair to say, just about all of them paid sales taxes of one kind or another. So to say they pay no taxes is flat wrong.

    Whole article here

    Didn't you see where I ammended my original statement to reflect that? I changed it to 47% don't pay income tax but they do other taxes. I still find 47 or 46% an incredibly high number to not pay any federal income tax.

    Yes I did see that, however I just found that little tid bit which I thought was interesting. I don't know how he extrapolates 14% and I want to dig in further.
    Just interesting that there seems to be some conflicting info on that page.

    I didn't spend a whole lot of time there so if you find something off, please post it. The 46% is a number that keeps popping up so I am confident that it is correct but also important to note that it is reflective of one element of taxation (which you pointed out as well), not the whole pie so to speak.

    Obamacare

    So tomorrow the supreme court will release its decision on Obamacare. Anyone want to make a prediction? Your prediction doesn't have to necessarily align with your personal views on it just what you think might happen.

    That said, I think the SC will strike down individual mandate yet keep some of the provisions specifically the ones already implemented (dependents till 26 etc..)

    What do you think?

    Your prediction might have come true if the ultra conservatives weren't so stubborn. From what I read Roberts would have gone with what you proposed but the hard linersdemanded that they throw out the entirety of the law -- the mandate, the consumer protections, the tax cuts, the subsidies, the benefits, everything. If that happened, the validity of the court would have been compromised. They would have looked as broken as Congress is.

    What Roberts did actually gave the Republications ammunition for November. Romney raised 4 million over this. 55% of Americans disapprove of Obamacare. Roberts was right. Let the people vote on this.

    DOJ says it will not pursue any action against Eric Holder after being found in contempt of Congress:
    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012...tract-furious/

    No surprise here. This is why B.O. invoked executive privilege because he knew his buds at DOJ, who work for Holder, would do nothing about it in order to protect their bosses and in the process, publicly flip the bird to the Terry family, and all Americans.

    Oh sure, the same type of criminal CYA has happened before, from Dumbya on far back as FDR to one degree or another. It's just that as time marches on, so does the shredding of the Constitution bit by bit at the behest of what Ike (one of the exceptions to the norm) referred to as the "military-industrial complex".

    What a week!...a great one for our rulers and a bad one for personal liberties.

    The difference is that Obama ran in part on the fact that he would have "the most transparent administration" ever. And than he invokes executive priviledge to keep congress from the fast and furious papers and protect Eric Holder.

    I think the same thing when I see the Obamas going on all the talk and entertainment shows. They said that the reason that they don't go on the regular news show is because nobody watches them. We have Michelle going in the Biggest Loser to promote her anti-obesity program and we have Barack going on Leno and The View.

    I assumed someone would have commented B.O.'s statement from last week...you know...the one about those who have become rich (rich is now defined as an individual or business that has a gross annual income of $250k or more, which includes most small businesses) through building a business did not do that on their own initiative and ideas...suggesting small and mid-size entrepreneurs owe their success to others and should, therefore, share more of their profits with others..."others" being the collective i.e. the federal government.

    Gee I'm glad Obama cleared that up. I had considered him a socialist but he made me see that I'm just greedy.

    Rush Limbaugh continuosly played the "you didn't build that" comment my whole drive into work. I assumed because it was such a short isolated clip that the show was messing with the context and ofcourse they were. I took it as Obama saying that to mean that someone else built the building you are operating out of and built the roads that bring you customers.

    It is a poor argument in my opinion to persuade the american people that he is right about taxation.

    The thing about Obama is that I do honestly believe that he believes he is going about things the right way, unfortunatley I believe that he is dead wrong and he keeps proving it to the people but they seem to believe what they hear and not what they see.

    He said if we all got behind his economic policies unemployment would not reach 8 percent, yet it has never been below it. Ofcourse that was an estimate given to him by his advisors but they were wrong. Just like they are wrong about Obamacare. It is now estimated that Obamacare will cost 2 trillion more over the next decade than first reported when he "sold it" to the people. Who pays for that? We do through a rationing of care and an increase (big time) in taxes. The only people who will really see any benefit are the ones who get covered through the expansion of medicaid which will approach the middle class. This isn't good for the economy.

    Take all of the emotion and ideology out of it and there is only one tried and true way to have economic prosperity at the level the US once enjoyed. The success and expansion of the private sector through production and demand. The government doesn't give us that, it can only get out of the way.

    Rant over.

    This is the age of the internet and the information age. I believe if a president and his wife want to go on shows to promote anti-obesity, or to reach a younger audience and get them involved with the inner-workings of the infrastructure of the American political system, so be it. Why is it so wrong to try to get Americans involved, and for them to show interest in what the people of the U.S. do?

    Now I see what's going on here... Obama says you didn't build the roads and bridges... and the right-wing turn it around and claim he said you didn't build your business. They're so sneaky.

    This advert is an amazing twist of the truth.

    Typical with both parties. That is why it is so important that we all use our brains and recognize it when we hear it. I suppose you could classify me as on of those "right wingers" but when I heard the clip on Limbaughs show I could tell it was designed to lack context. So I searched out a more complete statement and lo and behold.

    Same thing happened a couple of weeks ago with Romney and his "wah wah's sandwiches" comments. Lefties took a 1 minute segment out of a speach and edited it to make Romney sound like he was never in a sandwich shop before.

    Sucks that we the people need to be so vigilant to get to the truth.

    Departing from the "you didn't build that" subject and in light of mass murder in Colorado, we have this op-ed by Larry Bell on Forbes published July 10th about B.O. and the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty, which the senate will vote on July 27 I believe it is.
    http://www.forbes.com/sites/larrybel...t-of-the-deal/

    B.O. is likely to get his way with the senate treaty vote then look out...we'll be on the bloody road that Britain, Australia, and other nations have already traveled.

    Yes, please depart from the topic you didn't seem to know much about and threw wild accusations at....

    As for guns, you Americans will always have as much guns and as many bullets your little hearts desire to shoot the living hell out of eachother with. I wouldn't worry about a "bloody road to Britain, Australia."

    Top 5 Presidential Busts...

    I put this in here because Obama is at the top of the list. Here they are:

    1) Barack Obama
    2) Jummy Carter
    3) James Buchanon
    4) Richard Nixon
    5) Andrew Johnson

    Now be forwarned, this is an opinion piece from the UT San Diego but he does make some compelling points.

    Good find, Pauli, and interesting, considering the source (a California paper) has determined that B.O. sits atop a list of the 5 worst presidents...a sitting president to boot.

    The article indeed presented compelling points for their choices of which I mostly agree with. I tend to cut Andrew Johnson some slack.

    I feel bad for Carter, granted I was born when Reagan was president, but Carter seems to get a really bad wrap. To me it seems like he's a very kind and genuine person, but just should never have been president?

    Herbert Hoover not on the short list of worst US Presidents? Hmmm. I'm a little suspicious of any serious discussion of a first term sitting president being considered "worst." His presidency isn't complete. I might be more open to "worst first term of US Presidents." If that were the case, then I could consider the possibility of Obama, and Nixon wouldn't deserve to be on the list.

    I think Nixons first term wasnt bad at all. He opened talks and trade to China who was run by Chairman Mao ... not an easy person to deal with. It was Nixons 2nd term that was a disaster.

    I think Jimmy Carter is the only President that compares to the Obama term. Carter actually tried to do right, but everything he did backfired and never worked. Just like Obama , he micromanaged too much.

    I don't know about Carter being nice? I have a friend that was a college professor while owning a gas station
    during the Carter Presidency.
    During that time period Carter claimed that we had an oil shortage. My Professor friend had students that were from the middle East and they told her that big oil tankers were parked at Middle Eastern docks full of oil while we were in the midst of this big gasoline shortage! At that time American cars were parked in huge long lines to get fuel.
    It was horrible back then!

    Didn't Nixon open up our jobs being shipped to China? Or am I wrong?

    Please use the mutiquote button located in posts you wish to quote, instead of posting repeatedly by quoting and then replying to each in single posts.

    If you're unsure of how to use the multiquote function, it's simple:

    Hit the thing that looks like a cartoon word bubble with a plus sign next to it in each post you'd like to respond to. Then hit the reply to thread button. All selected posts will then show up in one window for you to respond in.

    Not using the multiquote function is considered bad form on forums, makes following the conversation disjointed for the reader and is intimidating to new members - things we very much like to discourage here as threads should be welcoming to read and invite participation by all.

    I dont know, Nixon opened up commerace to an otherwise closed communist country. I think the outsoursing started in the mid 80s or late 70s. Long after Nixon left in disgrace.
