Sure it’s a bait but the GOP only has to vote for the proposed tax cuts and then blame the Rats for the expired ones when the economy continues to sink.

No. Many of us have to compete internationally.

It simply means we have less money to buy things with - from business investments to a new car.

Less money to spend means fewer jobs.

Obama is an idiot.

I understand but the tax policies tend to be punitive of married couples. Additionally, I believe that families are good for America and our society and that the tax policies actually should be more generous for families. Sorry if you are a single or a no-childer but we have to decide what we want to promote in this country and then act like we mean it. Do we support families, children, conservative values,etc. I have no problem with people who don’t have children but people with children should get more breaks. Sorry. That’s how I feel. And while I’m on the subject, I am noticing that this society is increasingly becoming very anti-child. The Duggars have gotten a lot of flack for doing what the Bible said to go out and do.

The truth is income taxes are evil and were forbidden by the original constitution. We need to repeal the 16th amendment and institute a national sales tax, not to exceed 10 % and make that permanent with no changes allowed. Do away with SS by phasing it out and if you wish to keep it then the money will go into individual accounts, interest earning and untouchable by the government. In other words eliminate all existing payroll taxes and go to a sales tax of not more than 10%, permanent and unchangeable.

This would include no corporate income taxes either. In addition the EPA and other idiotic agencies would be disbanded, a few common sense rules about the environment would stay in effect but no special agency to oversee them would exist. No making laws by a bureau.

These are a few things that would even things out. Everyone would pay the same 10%(because you know they would go for the maximum), no exceptions, married, single whatever and NO Income tax flat or otherwise would be allowed ever in perpetuity.

The couple who are on baby #20 I believe... or at least planning baby #20. They have 19 kids and they have never taken a government handout.

Kudos to them for pulling that off. Well, being true to my principles, if they didn’t demand the welfare dole and managed the children well, then all the more respect from me. I wish more adults in today’s world could have the level of responsibility and willingness to make sacrifices as this couple did. Not the children, but the kind of compassion, responsibility, and support of each other while married that this couple both did and has.

Here’s something that will make you chuckle. They make all of them learn to play the violin. I saw a picture of the kids - the whole lot of them - all holding violins. Hilarious.

-It does make me chuckle quite a bit; almost looks as if they produced an orchestra there.
