money the government will spend. What is being reduced is the amount of the
annual increases, built into government expenses, by $1 of every $1,000
spent That will help reduce the budget deficit that is so much of a
problem for those on the left, yet they voted against doing so.

History proves that ever time tax rates and capital gains taxes, the seed
corn of any economy that will produce new jobs, have been reduced it has
resulted in more income to the US treasury, not less. Japan does not tax
capital at all. Japan in fact offers a tax credit for capital earned in
other countries, that is returned to Japan. Even when it is earned as tax
free profits in other countries like the US. The recent US tax RATE cuts,
that went to every taxpayer in the US, is the engine that has been driving
the current robust economy since 9/11. Failing to make those reductions
permanent and reducing the budget will hurt the ever expanding income to the
treasury, further increasing the budget deficit and reducing the capital
that has been increasing the millions of new jobs for the so called working
man in the US.

The more one make in the US the more one pays in taxes. Not only do you pay
more, you pay taxes at a higher tax RATE as well. According to the IRS site
more than 45% of workers in the US pay little or no taxes and the truly poor
not only do not pay any taxes the get TAX rebates in a greater amount than
was withheld, as well as checks from the state and federal governments.
When I was a kid there was little work for most people and even less for
blacks and there were no checks from the government. Still my mom and dad
kept us in food and clothing till the WWII made real work. ;)

So, you don't like living here? You don't like being a member of
humanity? You're right I don't like giving entitlements to those who
don't need them -- for instance Exxon Mobil, or Halliburton.

Some folks are too leveraged to their SUVs and HDTVs to give more.

Why do you keep bringing God into the discussion? Your relationship
with God is your business, not mine.

You make such absurd assumptions -- its funny, they're here in black
and white, I don't need to comment on them.
