On this we agree. They should both be referred to as Corporatists.- Reply to this comment
- ''''Government can not spent our way into prosperity. All they can do it make thing worst''''
Quite the contrary. To assert something like that is the same thing as saying: ''''Don''''t go to school. Because learning stuff doesn''''t help any.'''' The government can be the prime motivator of innovation and new technologies.

They pay capital gains taxes at a lower rate than most tax payers, wage earners, pay in income taxes, great scam.

- I thought your republican supreme court called that ''''free enterprise''''? ''''Don''''t listen to the constituency. Listen to lobbyists instead.''''

or
remove freedoms we have now so that we can only do what a Marxist government wants it people tp do.
If Obama has his way any savings you might have now will be worth quite a bit less that it is today.
$100 might = $50.
He and his followers can then Dictate whatever they wish until civil unrest removes them.

I love this argument. It is currently worth less thanks to a dead "Free Market can polices its self" ideology.
And your first sentence sounds like a speech Clinton may have made on balancing the budget. Are you a closet Clintonite or do you have mixed emotions when it comes to Big Government, Big Spending Republicans that started with the Reagan Revolution? - Reply to this comment
- You keep giving them rich people money, they''''re just gonna get fatter on the hog, and dumber.

The deck has always been stacked against people who work for a living. Congress, both parties, takes care of all their friends and people who give them money and favors. - Reply to this comment

- There is no such thing as government investment. Government lives off the productive segment of society, it does not and can not, by itself, produce anything. Therefore, the bigger government gets, the less productive and less wealthy society as a whole becomes.
To illustrate this principle, think of the following LEGITIMATE functions of government - maintaining a military, establishing a court system, running a police force, punishing criminals. All these functions are absolutely necessary, but they produce nothing. Is there any doubt that society would be richer if there were no wars, no criminals, and no legal disputes? This is the true nature of government - it should do only that which is necessary and only that which can''t be done by the private sector. Look at it another way - good government allows for a society to be productive but government is not, by itself productive. Obama doesn''t get this - the only difference between him and McCain is that Old John at least had the honesty to tell us he didn''t understand economics. - Reply to this comment

- The trillion +- goes to pay for the services, people who work just don''''t pay any income taxes for a year.

Hundreds of billion go to support those in the country illegally. (Social Services, Medical, schools, etc)
Some Billions pay for those here legally that can not work or refuse to work. (Social Services, Medical, schools, etc)
Did you know there at those that migrate to this country that draw Social Security without contributing into it. They also get free medical and other social services.
Stop all this type of financial waste and this will solve up to $500billion of the problem we face. - Reply to this comment
- How can the tax burden be on the wealthy? They just got a tax payer bailout.

Who controls the legislature?
Republicans or Democrats?
The president does not pass a budget? He only request then either approves or vetos it.
Do you know who controls what goes into the budget?
Who decides (ear marks & pork) what goes into the budget? Can you say congress (republican and democrats and others). - Reply to this comment
- This does mean the burden will be shifted to where it belongs, on the wealthy. After all, they have the most to lose in our nation should falter. Our working class is true what is too big to fall, not the banking system.

The tax burden is already on the wealthy, unless you make your money from capital gains. - Reply to this comment

- I''''m not following your logic. In addition that has an impact on the agencies that are supported by those taxes which in turn affects more jobs.

- Just how will Obama get the Trillions if,
1. He does not raise taxes to the limit ?
2. He does not borrow from China and the Middle east rich counties ?
Will Obama start the Greater Obama Depression that the USA may never recover from?
Will our Great Grand Children be left so poor that they could not possible pay this back?
Who will own the USA when the Obama crowd is done?
Will there be a USA (As we have known it) left for our descendants?

The money will have to come from foreign countries. That is what happens when you mortgage your nation to foreign interest, much like Mussolini did.
But, he does not have much choice, all the big government, record spending Republican have forced this hand.
China already owns us. Who can you thank, the Bush Dynasty. If China decides to not by anymore of our T-Bills we could very will spiral into something that will make the Depression pale in comparison. - Reply to this comment
