There''s blood on the streets every year. There''s American blood on the streets of Iraq. We should not have any there.

Bush Sept. 08
"The fundamentals of our economy are sound"

He must have meant for the upper3%
However-
What we do need to do is change the tax structure!!!

I think we need to go to a flat income tax of 12%
A capital gains tax of 15%
An import duty of 8% on all imported goods
And a National sales tax of 5% on all products

Simplify the stupid Tax system
Get rid of all the loopholes

A 15% capital gains would spur business --
Increasing domestic spending and Manufacturing

An Import duty would bring in Trillions
To a Gov''t that''s cash starved --

And in the end changing the tax structure would
even the playing field.

We need something new that''s for sure
Steve Forbes has it right.

The President nor the VP add ''earmarks'' - - and the taxing and spending is done by ''bring home the bacon Congress'' dummy ! ! ! ! !
And they have no term limits like the president - they stay in office for life dummy ! ! !
Those elected officials approve a pay raise for themselves, spend your money and raise your taxes - and you blame the President and his relatives ? ? ?
And you really think your newly elected savior can end all that - based on his experience and background ? ! ? !

ASIA - UNITED STATES

U.S. Debt Approaches Insolvency;
Chinese Currency Reserves at Risk
by Maurizio d''Orlando

In a few months, America''s public debt has grown to more than 100% of GDP. Fear of a valuation crisis for the dollar, with tremendous consequences for Asian countries, major exporters to the United States.


Milan (AsiaNews) - In the United States, the danger of debt insolvency is growing, putting at risk the currency reserves of foreign countries, China chief among them. According to new figures published by Bloomberg in recent days (Nov. 25, 2008), the American government has employed a total of 8.549 Trillion Dollars to stop the financial crisis. This means a total of about 24-25.4 Trillion Dollars of direct or indirect public debt weighing on American taxpayers.

Actual U.S, Debt is around $60 Trillion, so this story is total bullsh*t. Get ready to see things you never imagined possible. Collapse of Social Safety-Net Programs like Unemployment Insurance and Food Stamps, Massive Tent Cities of Homeless and Destitute Families, Shortages of basic necessities, Food Riots, Martial Law......
It''s going to get really, really, REALLY, bad.
Get ready now or be sorry later.....

If Obama would only cut out pork-barrel spending and earmarks to fat cat congressmen, I''ll bet he could save a good trillion right there.
