Taxifornia!

And Hey, I'm not down on the rich. I'd love to be rich and pay 39%. Also, so are Clinton, Gates, Jobbs, Buffett, and many many more. When you do well in this country you owe a debt to the country that enabled it.

If you want to cut money then perhaps we don't need a Department of Defence that has a bigger budget then the next FIVE largest militaries COMBINED. Maybe we could get by spending more than the next 3 or 4. Would that be okay?

Ya know what? Never mind. Just go watch more Fox.

Government is 25% of the US GDP. But the Chinese government portion of their GDP is less than 10%

We can cut spending to limit the government share of GDP to match the Chinese at 10%. Surely we can adjust our spending to not exceed a communist governments respective percentage of GDP....

The COTUS authorizes 4 federal departments .... Treasury, State, War and Navy.... Presently we spend 40% of the federal budget on these. 40% of the 25% GDP is 10% GDP.

We can reduce government to 10% GDP by simply following the Constitution!

We can then balance the budget by eliminating the Income tax and imposing a 10% consumption tax or a Jerry Brown style 10% Flat Tax. Lets make it 15% and pay off the debt....

Soooo, by your figures, no more social security? Aunt Caroline is gonna go hungry? No more medicare? Aunt Caroline is gonna go without her medicine and lose five, ten years off her life? Is that what you are saying? Yes or no?

Say, there's a super idea!

Sorry Black folk! Back to slavery...hope you understand. Times are tough.

And women...sorry, no more voting for you. Gots to get back to basics.

NASA, need I say more? You're out.

Mdeicare? Sorry grandma. Hope you saved up. Good luck.

Social security? Thanks for the cash. Hope you put something away.

Air Force? Too bad planes weren't invented in 1776.

FAA? See above. See ya.

Good news! All drugs are legal!!! Nothing in the constitution about that! Party time!

I'm sure I missed a bunch, but it's obvious going back to a strict constitutional law would be just great. Really great.

...if you're stupid

Ah Waco, ya got me by one minute!

Also, the chinese are starting to feel a little bit richer, but do you really want to live like them? I know, we could be rickshaw drivers!

...if you're stupid

then your name is glasspilot.

then your name is glasspilot.

Oh, I get it. I make valid points and back it up with facts and logic and you shot it all down by using a 3rd grade comeback turning my words against me with nothing to back it up.


Nice...
Your Fox training is complete young Jedi. Go forth and spread your ignorance. Let me guess...you're a "tea party'er"?

 

[gunfyter]

The answer is ...

Yes Social Security gets privatized.... The Air Force comes under the War (Defense department). Slavery was not authorized by the COTUS ... etc..

We cannot afford the government we have. We are broke. There is no tax increase we can institute that can fix this problem. We have to shrink government.

Oh, cmon! That's so convenient! You're going to privatize my aunt caroline's social security? The market, any market, is a bet. What if she loses it? What about medicare? You didn't answer that one. One way or another, you would have seniors at risk, and you act as though that is acceptable. Right up until it is your mother. Are you going to let her starve? Give me a break. What do you say we deal with reality. What would you have us do with entitlement programs that people depend upon? No pipe dreams, mind you. What is your solution? (hint; you don't have one.) .10

 

[glasspilot]

Do you think we would be less broke if we allowed Wall Street, the banking system, the Big Three in Detroit, and the entire economy to fail after our last try at the right?

You're right, this is probably the black guys fault. I hear he's not even American...from Kenya or something.

One last thought; it has been said that a civilization can best be judged by how it treats it's young and it's elderly. Please think about that.
