That's so true. Teachers, policemen, firemen, trash collectors, road workers, are all overpaid lazy sons of bitches (directly or indirectly paid - it's all MY money). Not to mention those military goons who get free education and food and expect favorable treatment when they get back.

Taking what I wrote out of context only makes you look desperate. I never said they are "Lazy", that's your word not mine, I wrote they don't work nearly as hard and I'm convinced that's true for the great MAJORITY, NOT including our Military which I have NO problem giving entitlements to, they actually deserve more in my opinion.

YES, I'd like to see Teachers, the trash collectors and construction workers ALL privatized, they would do a FAR better job, and cost us the tax payer far less, the same applies to the postal service. As for Fire Police, Do you know how many cities are paying for 3 Police Departments, 3 Fire Departments? And by that I mean PENSIONS, This is where a lot of our $787 BILLION Dollars in job stimulus went to, States shoring up their pension funds.

Why do you think public sector unions have been pushing hard for YES, ANOTHER Stimulus?


The system is broken BECAUSE of PRIVATE BUSINESS. Corporatism IS THE PROBLEM. Fix the corrupt govt is what is needed. Removing what little it does to hold the goons at bay? I have no idea who thinks that will work.

Yep, Apple is the problem, Microsoft is the problem, Procter and Gamble who makes my toothpaste is the problem, those greedy greedy corporations who produce and invest in our economy, THEY are the problem and NOT the Government who takes and takes and takes, producing NOTHING but DEBT.

As for the US POSTAL SERVICE?
They are NOT on the government dole!
NOT ONE DAMN PENNY OF YOUR TAXES GO TO SUPPORT THE USPS!
This I know because I am a retired POSTMASTER!

In fact, the USPS is the ONLY agency that has to pay for the retirement costs of all military retired who go to work for the USPS!
Talk about shifting bucks from the DOD....

Plus the ONLY agency that has to prefund it's pension account and health account.

So leave the USPS out of your diatribes.

Now for some good news....
Thanks to everything being messed up?
I can get a vehicle loan for .90%.
Those dealer deals on 0%?
You will pay for purchasing, whether you know it or not.

Not to get excited here or anything....
but I do notice that once again someone is not doing their job here in thanking each post.

I could easily say your response is a typical conservative response.

You can say that if you want, I'm proudly a conservative. :)

And where did you get the idea I'm a hardliner? Unlike Democrats who stand by their guy no matter how incompetent he is, I'm not one of those people.. I called GW out on a lot I disagreed with, TARP and bailing out the auto industry in particular.. NOT one of my favorite Presidents by any means.

Correct, my inclusion of USPS was merely to point out the public sector can do a far better job, UPS, Fedex and DHL are testament to that. And I'm not knocking USPS employees by any means so do be upset with me. :)

I dont know, maybe from all of your post, your hate for all liberals, your signature.

Even if this were true which it's not, I fail to see the relation in referring to me as a hard liner...

I don't "hate" I actually pity liberals and progressives.. The public sector is collapsing before our very eyes and while it's collapsing they want to grow it, grow it by taxing the rich....

Did you know if you were to increase taxes on the wealthy as Obama wants to do, that it would generate $700 Billion dollars over the next 10 years? Do you know how fast the Federal Government spends $700 Billion dollars? GUESS.

535 members of Congress have been asked for full disclosure of their tax returns, but only 17 have complied.

Among those who refused are Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Harry Reid – both of which have heavily criticized Romney for his limited transparency.

The rich should always pay more.

They do

The middle class should pay less.

They are.

The poor should pay none.

They don't.


The government needs to cut wasteful spending. But NOT cut spending on Schools, teachers, military, police, fire ect.

Let's try to separate Federal from State so as not to confuse the two.

We agree on the Military,.. Teachers, Police and Fire, all are overpaid, not so much in the paycheck they receive but rather in Health Care and Retirement benefits. And the protection they receive for their unions is unprecedented, When a child is molested by a Teacher in School and found guilty of doing so, we CAN'T FIRE them, Nope, we need to pay them off instead.

"Affordable health care must be available for everyone somehow"

Agreed, however Government taking control of the health care system is not the answer.. We could have insured the uninsured, not passed Obamacare and saved hundreds of billions by doing so.

The main reason for ObamaCare is NOT to provide everyone with Healthcare but rather to TAX. Tax the middle class, who you say should pay LESS.

"It's not a tax hike. It is a fee, an assessment"

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HymUU7OADbU"]Romney: "It's not a tax hike. It is a fee, an assessment." - YouTube[/ame]

And Romney speaks FRENCH!!!!!! just like John Kerry. He used to live over there, I think maybe some liberals got to him and implanted secret policies. Gingrich was right, beware of French speaking politicians.

I am still a believer in a flat income tax!
The devil in that is at what % for those making x amount of dollars,
Make one or more million dollars, regardless of how, per year, pay say 30%.
Make 25,000 or less?
Pay at say 1 or 2%.
And brackets in between those figures.

With no deductions, no offsets, no nothing.

I am all for a flat tax :)

I think a standard 15% to 20% flat tax for all above $30k a year.
10% tax for $20k to $30k
and no tax for under $20k

Its worth a shot.
Cant be any worse then we are now.
Except H&R Block would probably go out of business, poor bastards :P

No, I don't like your cutoffs.

Intuit would also go out of business, the entire accounting industry would be hunting for new jobs.

Flat tax also on all companies.
Including all their offshore income.

Bunch more stuff I would love to see happen, but that is for another time.
