Here''s another facet of the answer:

Study finds that the majority of domestic and foreign corporations in the United States avoid paying federal income taxes.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) examined samples of corporate tax returns filed between 1998 and 2005. In that time period, an annual average of 1.3 million U.S. companies and 39,000 foreign companies doing business in the United States paid no income taxes - despite having a combined $2.5 trillion in revenue.

In May, an internal audit from the Defense Department''s inspector general of about $8 billion paid to U.S. and Iraqi contractors found that nearly every transaction failed to comply with federal laws or regulations aimed at preventing fraud.

Absolutely disgusting.

The administration is completely inept.

The Cheney/Bush Neocon thugs who''ve been running things for the last 8 years, have been spectacularly successful in diverting the US Treasury from public to private hands -- which has been their goal since FDR''s New Deal days. Talk about holding a grudge! These "people" are totally psycho!

Speaking of psycho . . . terrorislamv is a textbook sexually-deviant pervert who relishes exhibiting and advertizing her numerous sexual dysfunctions thru her postings, which are almost universal in their racially charged vitriol against Obama.

Her rants are both amusing to read -- in a pitiful way -- and dangerous, in that they celebrate the lowest common demnominator of human character flaws: the belief that an individual is superior to another soley based on ethnicity or skin color. Think Adolf Hitler.

The good news is, as long as she''s advocating for John McSame, Obama''s victory in November is assured.

Well it''s nice to see that SOME are making a few bucks during the Fascist Rule of this nation. With all the MILLIONS of Jobs shipped to Third World Countries, maybe we can ALL sign up for a job as Combat Tech''s? LOL Sieg Heil McSlime

that ******* road.

McCain wants to continue our stay in Iraq. When he is shown this piece, his reaction will be predictable - "So". If we elect McCain, this will continue for as long as he is President.

[scallywag8]

Wait!!! It will probably be own by a Di*k and a Bush.

Yes, I like that idea. We could all be contractors.

[oneworldusa]

Maybe we should all move to Iraq. Leave the American debt behind and forge ahead to a new life in a rebuilt country our tax dollars paid to destroy and then repair.

The GOP crowd are all posting on other stories about Obama. Bush has 4 1/2 more months to sign checks for his cronies. Obama is not the answer, nor is McCain. We need to be outraged, loud, visible, and steadfast in telling our government we don''t want to pay for wars.

[scallywag8]

Maybe Jay Leno or David Letterman will tell us a joke about it and make us feel better. That otta work. Then when we wake up tomorrow we will all feel better. Then our Meathead president and his sidekick will feel bad and ask to be forgiven. Then God will come and save us all Amen.

[scallywag8]

Oh, Oh, ....I know! Lets all pray.

[scallywag8]

Maybe if we type in capital letters they will hear us better.

[scallywag8]

LMFAO.......They know they can get away with it because they know they closest we will get to them is on the drama boards.

The entire war is about putting money in Cheney''s pocket, nothing more.

`Iraq Contracts Cost Taxpayers Billions`

We know this! But like other interesting facts i.e. outing CIA Agents and the firing of U.S. Attorneys for political reasons, etc. etc., nothing happens to those responsible! Those responsible have `above the Law` and `Get out of Jail FREE` cards!

[pirmin3]

Having Bush in charge is just like letting the Mafia take over. Greed and corruption are but two hallmarks of the GOP.

[cdfoxtrot2]

When is a contractor not a mercenary? Let''s call a spade a spade. These people are mercenaries.

"Since the 2003 invasion of Iraq, much criticism has been directed at Halliburton, an oil services company once run by Vice President *** Cheney."
