Best Thing for U.S. Economy: Raise Taxes

Discussion in 'Politics' started by jamis359, Jun 10, 2007.

  1. One unified world? I don’t want that before there is a choice between living on earth or another planet. Globalization is a good thing, but there is a good and a bad version. I think one unified world can only exist under either dictatorship or a big world government. Things might start off nice with democracy, capitalism and a good constitution but how long can it last?

    Very few democracies seems to be able to fight off socialism. The nature of government is to grow, and the nature of most people is to vote for a big government. Im sure every socialist in power would love to raise taxes more than they do, and take away more liberty than they do, but they know they can’t do it when more freedom and lower taxes exist other places.

  2. No way im going to read the whole damn thread, as well as it might have started.

    Dont want to rock anyones boat, but the entire concept of providing insurance , for profit, or allowing most health related products to be regulated or taxed to the degree they are, is actually, under the constitution, treasonous.

    Dont think so?
    Read it again, and do cross reference with your local jurisdiction for clarification.

    Acronym saya...Dont want to rock anyones boat, but the entire concept of providing insurance , for profit, or allowing most health related products to be regulated or taxed to the degree they are, is actually, under the constitution, treasonous.

    Acronym, that's a very interesting thought. I'm not sure i would go along with it, but it is damn interesting.. I'm quite sure, however, that Capitalism with out free competition is a total disaster. Witness our medical care system, i.e., Cartel, we have in the US.

  5. I don't want that either but it's an idea worth entertaining. Look at the EU, one of the reasons they came together was because they wanted to be competitive internationally. The US is a very diverse country that's huge. Why has the US become a world super power in the 20th century? In part because of its size, resources and ability to excel in everything. The US was a terrific internal market.

    Maybe somewhere you need outside competition, to keep those socialists at bay, maybe we've reached the critical mass for how large a 'nation' should be.

  6. Why wouldnt she? Its a perfectly FAIR arrangement. She has no room to argue on the fairness aspect.

    "...but as most things risks are usually comensurate with the rewards"

    Are you trying to imply there are greator rewards with marriage?

    You are mistaken my friend go read the wives and wealth thread.

    Im getting all the benefits of marriages, without the huge risk of a financial blow out like the poor sucker who buys blindly into the marriage contract. Might as well take your own balls off and stick them in her purse :D

    The federal income tax is also unconstitutional.


    "for profit" ....... there's a very loose term...

    I've consulted with a few of the highest performing mutual insurance companies, each were filled from top to bottom with very well-off people.
