The Poor Get Poorer: How Ryan's Budgets Would Affect Ours

There are many different ways to talk about Paul Ryan's Roadmap, but maybe the most useful is to imagine how his budget affects your budget. How much more money would you keep under his broad tax plan? How much more would you have to save to pay for health care. And for the low-income, whom -- as we'll see -- bear the brunt of Ryan's cuts: How alone would they be in Ryan's America?

It taks 5 minutes to get a new email account, and you can make the email account name anonymous.

Then you can use that email to send your emails to whomever in the company needs to know that you dont think the original email is appropriate.

I would have came in to FR earlier and posted on this thread but my government bureaucrat failed to call me this morning to wake me and and I overslept.

Then since I missed my government wake up time I missed my getting my government breakfast voucher and decided to spend what little of my own money I have at McDonald’s for an Egg McMuffin.

I then got an email taxing me for eating it per the Michelle Obama “I Hate McDonald’s Tax”.

Sorry for my delay. But then again I’m having to ride a secret stationary bicycle in the hidden basement to just have the power to be a Freeper!!

Keep safe out there folks.

Turning to in my own case, if I did start my mfg. business, higher import tariffs would destroy any chance of my success. The vendors I would depend on no longer exist in the U.S., and they are not coming back, either. Not for a small start up, or even a bunch of small start ups, given the present business climate as described above. This is true in area after area after area...

Hear, hear. If I hear one more underemployed IT desk jockey who has never run so much as a lemonade stand telling FR about how high tariffs are going to bring manufacturing jobs back from India and China, I am going to lose it. Millions of small business jobs depend on imports - they never seem to get that. Most manufacturing, on the other hand, will never come back to the USA until the factors you addressabout your post are rectified.

I see. Not a bad idea, except the company is pretty small, only 250 or so employees. I am a “token” conservative, so it’d be pretty short work to figure out who sent it.
