My point is, if you're going to cry and whine about "Socialism" and curse welfare programs.... take in mind.... the wealthy are sucking us dry more than the poor are.
Of course you never distinguish between profits and profit margins, the latter not being that high.

But to solve corporate welfare problem, join me in calling for the elimination of all taxes on both private and corporate income and replacing the current tax code with the Fair Tax.

Please consider the words of Jefferson....
Quote:
"I place economy among the first and most important virtues and public debt as the greatest of dangers to be feared. To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with public debt. We must make our choice between economy and liberty or confusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, we must be taxed in our meat and drink, in our necessities and comforts, in our labor and in our amusements. If we can prevent the government from wasting the labor of the people, under the pretense of 'caring for them,' they will be happy." (Thomas Jefferson)"
This includes government run healthcare as well as unnecessary military spending.

House and marriage.

But obama has given him his groove back, which Trump is threatening to take away again.

Would you rather have your investment portfolio as it stood when Bush left office or as it stands now?

We'd need an Amendment to the Constitution first. If we don't get that, we'll be stuck with a national sales tax on top of a national income tax. Honestly, I think the fair tax effort is just a slippery strategy to get a national sales tax in place, knowing the Amendment process will fail and we'll be stuck with more taxation.

I truly grasp Jefferson's concerns. However, it is 2016. We're already falling behind in nearly every category accept the number of people who believe in Big Foot, angels, and UFOs. We need to move into the 21st century.

I was just describing the political climate I've experienced. And yes, I have my grove back. LOL

Please explain how living in the 21st century negates Jefferson's concerns?
