No one should make 70K pushing a broom (btw, this isn't the case most of the time, you know...)...and nobody making millions from corporate earnings should pay less of a percentage into the "pot" than someone who works to struggle through life feeding his family.Originally Posted by Catfish Bob
Then we need to rethink NAFTA and other trade agreements of imported materials that could be made here and encourage America to rebuild itself from the inside out...maybe it'll be an economic stimulus to buying American made products and stimulate the economy. People on here bash politicians for not taxing big businesses...its the big businesses and other lobbyists in collusion with BOTH parties that dictate our government and swell it to beyond its natural economic carrying capacity. I agree spending has to be reigned in responsibly. To not raise taxes on big businesses in fear of them taking jobs overseas is definitely not as big of threat as having the foundation fall out beneath this country. Factors such as minimum wages and regulations (including environmental ones that protect resources we love like hunting and fishing) drive off more "big job" industries that used to be more abundant here in the USA than tax hikes ever will. You guys can blame the obamunists (aka anyone who isn't ultra conservative across the board) all you want, but someone said it best when he said both parties are to blame here.
