yes by the way, the underground economy expands when the rewards for working on the books are contracting compared to increasing government largesse to those not working and increased tax burdens on the working class.
"yes" Then so is crying "taxes are too high!" You, DO something about taxes and EARN MORE. This is what people of high character do. "the underground economy expands when the rewards for working on the books are contracting compared to increasing government largesse " So it IS structural.
Neither republicans or democrats have any credibility on this issue. The working man has no representation at any level of government, and hasn't had any for decades. Corporate coffers are full to the brim with hundreds of billions of dollars. Profits are through the roof. The boardroom boyz continue to pay themselves higher and higher salaries, give themselves more and more stock options, all on the backs of their workforce, and layoff millions of people whenever possible, needed or not. Doesn't matter if the market is at 16,000 or 116,000, the average Joe does not participate. There is no money left to invest after the monthly bills are paid. Trickle down is a joke, always has been, always will be. Dems have nothing to offer but pain as well. Publicly they'll demagogue the corporate and financial terrorists, while privately taking millions in campaign contributions. They're only to happy to see an illegal workforce take millions of jobs, suppress wages and benefits in all industries, all for a voting block of lost souls. Union leadership has no problem watching goods jobs go down the drain while expanding their membership of 10 dollar an hour dues paying janitors. Message to Joe Lunchbucket. You're on your own pal, get used to it. The only help is if you're willing to live on welfare and food stamps. Then the dems are your team. If you're ready to fuck your fellow man, vote republican. Sell something of no value, run a Ponzi scheme, embezzle millions from your employer, hire a bunch of illegals and exploit them. You'll be a Red State hero. But of you're looking to make an honest buck through hard work and dedication...LMOFAO at you, you stupid fucking chump. Signed, Every politician in the country. P.S. Thank you for your continued support at the ballot box...dumbass.
Hence my intention going forward to vote for independents third parties libertarians...pretty much anyone but an establishment (D) or (R).
The perfect post to follow with this tidbit: Take your pick. "Millionaires Make Up The Majority Of Congress:" http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/09/congress-millionaires_n_4570393.html http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-...ub-in-u-s-congress-is-the-new-50-percent.html http://money.cnn.com/2014/01/09/news/economy/congress-millionaires/index.html And many more. I wonder why the left and right leaning sites are both carrying this story.
I've been voting independent for several years. Not sure it does any good, but I don't trust either Republicans or Democrats. It drives my wife crazy because she believes that only the two major party candidates have a chance of winning . She thinks I should just vote for the lesser of two evils. My response: "Voting for the lesser of two evils is voting for evil."
"high character" in your mind being a serf to a government which rewards the masses to be dependent on the government in return for their votes. welcome juan peron.
I've thought and done the same as your wife for years now. No more. The sooner and the more tax paying voters refuse to support the establishment. The quicker we can start getting our country back from Washington. Though admittedly I don't hold out much hope any more.
