But you are onto something here, you just have it backwards.
There are some here who think their taxes are too low. Why
wait for the middleman to increase you taxes. Eliminate the
middle man, hell yes. Just send what you>d like to pay in
more taxes directly to the helpless waifs like Cahill directly.
Or you could send it to Willam Ayers, I>m sure he has ideas
on where to spend it. It>s the patriotic thing to do. It>s the
real Progressive Tax: the do-it-yourself way. Why rely on
the maternalist and paternalistic Feds? |

Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan told Congress on
Thursday he is "shocked" at the breakdown in U.S. credit markets and
said he was "partially" wrong to resist regulation of some securities.

1) I went to the ATM this morning and it said "insufficient funds"..
I>m wondering is it them or me?
2) Petrol is way too expensive these days. I actually can>t afford to
drive.
Last time I went dogging, I had to ask my mum to give me a lift.
3) With the current market turmoil, what>s the easiest way to make a
small fortune?
Start off with a large one.
4) How do you define optimism?
A banker who irons five shirts on a Sunday
5) What>s the difference between an investment banker and a large
pizza?
A large pizza can still feed a family of four.
6) What>s the difference between a merchant bank and Katie Price (aka.
Jordan)?
Both are institutions whose reputation is built on assets that, on
closer inspection, turn out to be entirely artificial, vastly over-
inflated and in danger of going through the floor at any moment. But
at least Katie Price is still worth something.
7) What>s the difference between the BBC>s business editor Robert
Peston and God?
God doesn>t think he>s Robert Peston
8) George Bush was asked today "what did he think of the Credit
Crunch?"
He replied: "It was his favourite Candy Bar."
9) What>s the capital of Iceland?
About £3.50
10) Why have estate agents stopped looking out the window in the
morning?
Because otherwise they>d have nothing to do in the afternoon

Problem is that there wont be any wealth to send your way if you put
the wealth creators out of business.
Higher taxes for the small business owners means they>ll hire less
people, reinvest less etc.
The less government involvement the better imo.
The government created the whole sub prime mortgage problem by
encouraging the banks to give out bad loans by allowing the people
like ACORN to bully banks and misguide people into buying into poor
investments that they could never repay. |

That may be the right thing to do. But it gets a little more complicated
with corporations. And it may be that a combination must be forged
between a head tax (just let the states collect the taxes however they
see fit and tax them based on population as the Constitution says), and a
corporate assets tax.

I might ask all the landowners the same question.

That is actually a very good point. It informs most of us concerning the
efforts of the very rich and their bought and paid for neoconomists in
painting inflation as this monster that will eat the children. |
