End of corporate tax breaks for jets?

[Praetorian]

Thats why they need unions.

Now concerning what people were promised. They should never have been promised. Government violated the Constitution and usurped "those powers not specifically delegated to the United States" that were "reserved to the States and to the People." To fix this problem, we cannot simply cut people off. But over time eliminate the programs and put people on notice now that in the future they will not exist as we return to Constitutional orthodoxy. Something like the Ryan plan. Move people from DEPENDENCE (slavery) on government, to Independence (Freedom).

Redistribution of Wealth (stealing) ... is not a power delegated to the United States. We should not be raising taxes (taking money away from people who it belongs to) to give to people who the money does not belong to. The money does not belong to someone just because they need a hip replacement or have cancer ... etc.. The money belongs to people who would ride on those jets to Aspen.

So would Swift:

It is a melancholy object to those, who walk through this great town, or travel in the country, when they see the streets, the roads and cabbin-doors crowded with beggars of the female sex, followed by three, four, or six children, all in rags, and importuning every passenger for an alms. These mothers instead of being able to work for their honest livelihood, are forced to employ all their time in stroling to beg sustenance for their helpless infants who, as they grow up, either turn thieves for want of work, or leave their dear native country, to fight for the Pretender in Spain, or sell themselves to the Barbadoes.

I think it is agreed by all parties, that this prodigious number of children in the arms, or on the backs, or at the heels of their mothers, and frequently of their fathers, is in the present deplorable state of the kingdom, a very great additional grievance; and therefore whoever could find out a fair, cheap and easy method of making these children sound and useful members of the common-wealth, would deserve so well of the publick, as to have his statue set up for a preserver of the nation.

I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricasie, or a ragoust.

I desire those politicians who dislike my overture, and may perhaps be so bold to attempt an answer, that they will first ask the parents of these mortals, whether they would not at this day think it a great happiness to have been sold for food at a year old, in the manner I prescribe, and thereby have avoided such a perpetual scene of misfortunes, as they have since gone through, by the oppression of landlords, the impossibility of paying rent without money or trade, the want of common sustenance, with neither house nor cloaths to cover them from the inclemencies of the weather, and the most inevitable prospect of intailing the like, or greater miseries, upon their breed for ever.

Come again?

I have a "modest proposal". I propose we respect the Separation of Church and State. Charity is a function of the Church, NOT the State.

We don't need the government to step in to prevent the rich from eating your children.... I am pretty sure that you go directly to hell for that. Fast lane ... No wait in Purgatory.

I could not agree with you more.

We should be following the Constitution to the letter since that is what the founding fathers wanted!!!!

If it is in the Constitution it MUST be correct and must be followed!!!

Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 3 of the United States Constitution:

“ Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. ”

So Obama should have to only pay 3/5 of his tax bill since he is considered only 3/5 of a free person?


The constitution can't be wrong, or could it?

 

[jetwash]

If you wanna take that away from the military, then you better get ready for a draft. Because I would not have volunteered to make such sacrifices.

I have no problem with a draft that would put senators, congressmen, business men, stock brokers, and CEO's into the front lines. (I know that is not realistic because of their ages, but their children aren't) Maybe it's what this country needs.

That is exactly what the US needs Shared Sacrifice by rich and poor alike!!!!
The draft has my vote !!!!

 

[gunfyter]

Obama is not considered 3/5 of a free person. No one was ever considered 3/5ths of a free person. Direct Taxes are not Income taxes ... 16th Amendment removed any apportionment requirements for federal taxes.

Yes the Constitution is always right. The Constitution did not create slavery. It was an anti-slavery document that penalized slavery by not giving states full credit for persons not deemed free citizens by the individual states.

I am pretty sure that you go directly to hell for that. Fast lane ... No wait in Purgatory.

Well you would be wrong.

There is no going directly to hell or fast lane or wait. All those things require God and religion and other made up things to be true, of which there are none.

Boy FI is great. Politics AND religion all on a fractional thread! Kaizen.

 

[gunfyter]

Well then Glass ... I guess you have nothing to worry about if you eat the children of the poor as Jonathan Swift suggests. Bon appetit!

But thankfully, we have Obama to keep us all on a diet that is child-free.

 

[glasspilot]

I do not eat humans of any age. My post did not suggest otherwise. Do you have some sort of disability I should be aware of?

 

[Semore Butts]

The draft has my vote !!!!

Mine as well. However, as I said, they don't know how to go about it with the females.
