Obama "Very Interested" In Raising Taxes Through Executive Action

[thereisnospoon]

Where did the Bush administration get their authority to decide to deny California the authority to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from automobiles?

Isn't that a States Rights issue?

That was one of his EOs.

Oh so now we HAVE states rights....Hmm....
Once again a flaming lib wants it both ways...
BTW, California has ALWAYS had its own emissions standards. In fact for the last 40 years California law mandates autos sold or registered in the state be equipped with state approved emissions devices.
Without a link, you're bullshit.

You mean how does cutting revenue lead to more debt? Because revenue as a percentage of GDP is near the historic low. We already do not have sufficient revenue to pay the gov's bills. More cutting leads to more borrowing.

If our debt surpasses our income, a far better, more intelligent solution would be to decrease the debt. If we don't raise enough revenue to pay the bills, we should probably refrain from creating more bills, don't you think? This nation will never balance a budget by spending like drunken sailors in port and then robbing the next generation to pay for such profligate waste.

Yes we have a spending problem but I think the bigger problem is how the system is designed to never let the government get out of debt. As soon as the money comes off the press there is a interest rate attached to it. So we look at our debt and say we are so far in but how much of that debt is actually the interest that comes with the money??? and you call it overspending, but who is responsible for putting the price tags on everything we buy? take the actual money out of the equation and you just have materials. Valuable materials that too many people take advantage of. Everyone is too focused on looking at things in numerical value and not economical, sustainable or humane value.

Actually the prime rate, the rate banks charge each other to borrow money is ZERO.....Money is cheap right now. A great opportunity for the government to start paying off the interest owed on the debt.

Yeah they charge each other Zero because they control the money. You notice how you say money is cheap right now?? why should money cost anything?? Hmm we created money for the purpose of exchanging goods. But then since there is labor involved in creating money they saw a perfect opportunity to become wealthy and in doing so don't really care about the ones working to create that money or the ones they lend it out too. Now I have to say that the interest rate on home purchases is very good. But if things were done right there would be no need to borrow money to pay for a home. I mean if you don't come from wealth you are forced to borrow money to purchase a home or pay others to pay off their home. Why is that fair to anyone? If it weren't for having to go to school for the first 18 to 24 years of your life there would be no debt. Or if we could implement a system that allowed students to earn money for going to school and learning the world would be much better off and kids would want to learn more and do better things.

No..The federal reserve sets interest rates.
Don't give me the "they have all the toys and make all the rules" whine. Not interested.
Money should ALWAYS cost something. If I have to buy something and I do not have the funds, I have to borrow the money from someone else. That means the lender has to give up some of their money. In effect, the lender is making an investment. That is in the form of trust. Trusting me to repay the loan. That requires compensation. Now if the lender cannot realize a return( money being free) then the lender has no incentive to lend...

See that is just a misconception.. Why should money cost something??? Why should we have to pay for the things that should be free to all? No wonder the Indians were so pissed.. They didn't pay people to do stuff for them.. They were happy and content living here off the land. Never indebted to anyone. Any resource they needed or wanted was at their finger tips without out having to pull anything out of their pocket. Everyone has figured out a way to make people pay for the resources they need to survive. Hell you even have to pay for water! That is a twisted mindset! Money is paper that is used to purchase the goods we need to survive. Hmmm so no matter how you look at it you are being forced to buy something to pay for a God given commodity... Now if I had more water than I ever needed I wouldn't make someone pay me back over time because they needed something to survive.. If there was trust and goodness in the world people would lend out the money that they don't really need without trying to make a profit! So your theory of money should ALWAYS cost something is BS... LOL why should TRUSTING someone to repay a load have an effect of compensation when that said person you are borrowing from does not need that excess cash in the first place? That is controlling power! There are plenty of other things people can be doing to make a living other than sitting back and playing with money.

Barry's primary goal of crippling the American economy and system of government

Are you better off now than you were 6 years ago? Yes.

No. Household income is lower, household wealth is lower. Opportunities are fewer. Unless you're in the top 5% of earners you are much worse off. That's the whole point here, skippy.

Exactly. So, if you are poor, this is the greatest country in the world to be poor with entitlements and no taxes to pay. If you are an earner or make a lot of money in a year but are not Wealthy, you pay lot in taxes. If you are part of the top 5%, you have gotten wealthier over the past 6 years. So, look who is losing in this economy over the past 6 years? The Middle Class.

Yes, the richest and giant corps make out, but you're nuts if you think the poorest do, and Pub cuts in education and training programs make it always harder to escape poverty. See sig. And hater dupes don't realize all the drug screening and hoops they have to go through. Most of what they scream for are already there...At least O-Care has helped poor workers, and people aren't forced onto Welfare to get care anymore. Except in mindless red states of course.

Name one country where the poor have it better than the USA? Bonus Round, yet, this is a trick question, name a country where the Middle Class has it better than the USA (HINT: Answer depends on how long the Middle Class exists in the USA)

DUPE!!!

ALL costs make a difference the more ANYTHING costs to produce makes it cost more to the end user.
Are you really that stupid?

No, but dupes like you and shortsighted, brainwashed marketing majors and CEOs are. Don't realize how important well paid employees and customers are, and give us the present Reaganist mess.

The more anything costs to make makes it's cost more in the end.
It's just that simple.

....and yet people like you would be the first to complain because your Twinkies cost too much.

Wrong again. That would be greedy a-hole shortsighted RW bigot ugly American red neck ignoramus RWers...duh.

You really are that stupid.

How about that.......don't go into business franco just keep sucking off the Gov tit.

Wrong again, hater dupe lol...keep hating Pub victims though, hater dupe.

Your ignorance obviously has no limits at all

Their the ones that took their life savings and invested it in creating a business. If all it takes is starting a business and you will be rich why the **** don't you just start one? Why doesn't every minimum wage worker like you simply start your own business and begin raking in the cash? You are after all the primary reason this lazy **** of an owner is rich right? He didn't do anything it was all you. Quit your ******* job and start your own business, it should be easy and according to you it's not even earned.

They're the smart people that took OPM to create a platform for business. Using your life's saving isn't smart.

Pompous BS. Not everyone is able to get others to invest in their biz idea and I would say most are funded by personal savings and home equity loans.

This is rich..."Why should we have to pay for the things that should be free to all?"
That tops the chart of ridiculous.
We don't pay for water. We pay for the infrastructure that brings the water to our homes.
If you don't want to pay for water, dig a well.
"Everyone has figured out a way to make people pay for the resources they need to survive."...
Who is "everyone"?.....
"If there was trust and goodness in the world people would lend out the money that they don't really need without trying to make a profit!"
Wow....The entrepreneurial spirit is strong in you.
No one is forced to buy water, electric or gas service. However, if you choose to live in a community, you accept the responsibilities that go along with the conditions. If you choose otherwise, you can pitch a tent or build a cabin in the woods and live disconnected from society...
"Now if I had more water than I ever needed I wouldn't make someone pay me back over time because they needed something to survive"
That of course is your choice. However, is your free water inclusive of delivery?
"Compensation"....Genius...That is why we work or own businesses.
"does not need that excess cash in the first place"..
Who the hell are you to decide "need"?.....Define "excess cash"....
Obviously you have a very strange view of the world....I suspect you'd be content living under the thumb of government. A government that provides you womb to tomb security at no cost to you. One thing.....EVERYTHING has a cost. Even in a communist style government...
You have a problem with rationality. We're done. Please exit the country. Your socialist utopia lies elsewhere on the Globe...

Then lower the bills by cutting discretionary spending.
The problem that occurs when government bugle calls for more taxes is that the majority of people get the shaft. That reaches across all levels of income.
So instead of robbing the people. The government should be cutting the "gifts" and grants...For example...arts..why the hell should the federal government be in the business of funding art? Art includes motion pictures, TV and audio....Why should the federal government by subsidizing research that in the end, the private sector will not invest because there is no possible return on investment.......Why is the federal government spending money on public education? That should be a state and local matter. Same thing goes for housing. Let the private sector build and maintain housing.
Tell me, why should the taxpayers be saddled with the cost to rebuild beach houses blown away by storms? The owners should have had their properties insured. Same thing goes for mudslides and earthquakes. FEMA resources should be limited to public infrastructure and viability of communities. Not homes owned by individuals.
Why should the federal government be involved in bailing out failing or failed business? What is the federal government doing spending money on the auto industry? Why is the government giving hundreds of billions of dollars to otherwise ungrateful countries that do not act in the best interests of the US?
Why are the majority funding source for the UN?
Why are we not enforcing rules and regulations on social programs?
And finally, it snowed today in Washington DC...And once again, the taxpayers had to pay federal workers to NOT work....That's outrageous. Plow the ******* streets and get your ass to work...Just like everyone else.

So let's attack the arts. Why not have companies like Walmart et al pay back all of their subsidies they've obtained?

Why should the government make people whole after a major disaster? Because insurance companies only pay 30% to 60% of the rebuild cost. Read you insurance policy! Unless you have an ADDITIONAL gap plan you will be significantly out-of-pocket. And there's no guarantee that will work.

The program that funded Solyndra is making money. After Solyndra Loss U.S. Energy Loan Program Turning A Profit NPR

If federal employees went to work during snow emergencies how much longer would it take everyone to get to work?

How many inventions either directly or indirectly made by NASA do you use everyday?

Here's a list.

LAOROSA DESIGN-JUNKY 26 NASA Inventions That We Take For Granted Everyday...

I'm not attacking the arts. I love museums and art exhibits. I happen to think like any other business, they should be self supporting.
"Why should the government make people whole after a major disaster? Because insurance companies only pay 30% to 60% of the rebuild cost. Read you insurance policy! Unless you have an ADDITIONAL gap plan you will be significantly out-of-pocket. And there's no guarantee that will work."
More whining. Here's the solution. Update your policy...And that percentage is nonsense. I am in an insurance related business. Don't tell me how it works...
And NO absolutely not..The taxpayers should never be saddled with the burden of "making someone whole"....Those on the Jersey shore who are whining about their reimbursements being "short" have no one to blame but themselves. Their properties had gained value over the years. Many of these homes were owneed outright. So the owners took the risk of dropping GAP coverage. Many did not have flood insurance because once the note was paid off, they did not legally have to carry the coverage. So we had people sitting on properties valued at over $500k and they were too damned cheap to carry enough coverage to rebuild....That is MY problem?....Tell ya what, if you think Tony and Marie got robbed by their insurance company, write them a check.
Solyndra? What the **** does that have to do with anything?....BTW, that lost half a Billion. Cut the bullshit.
Here's an idea.....Those federal employees can get up earlier and get their asses to work on time. Same as everyone else. DC has some of the best snow removal equipment of any east coast city. That is by design.....I cannot believe there exists people like you who view everything as entitlement.
Who said anything about NASA?.....BTW it was YOUR guy in the White House that cancelled the Space Shuttle program. And now we have to rely on the ******* Russians to get to the ISS...

Yeah but I think you miss the underlying reasons.. If it were not for government spending there would be sooo many Americans without a job or work. Especially in the construction industry. Now agreeably there are many investments they make that I wish we did not have to make like, weapons of mass destruction and areas like that but that is to protect all the billionaires who like to hog all the money and profits and then all the foreign country's see Americans as pigs and selfish. Im sure all the Chinese that work for practically nothing to create the goods we use most just love to see where all the wealth goes.

Maybe you should spend some more time observing what is really going on instead of following the corrupt American way... If you want to know why made that statement here is the answer.

Just so you know, I have not made mention of your poor language skills but rather the silly leftist ideas you spew.

 

[thereisnospoon]

The thing about that is many people are over skilled for their positions in life but they are kept their due to the controlling nature of things. Yes owners provide and deal with a lot of crap, but does it really entitle them to soooo much more worldly possessions and wealth that really do nothing more than create greed, envy, and criminalistics ways? Everyone works hard and most people choose where they want to be. Most people don't choose to fall into wealth and the ones who create it still don't work much harder than the average person. Granted they have more knowledge and understand things better but does that really make them more entitled?

On a day filled with whiny, sniveling loony leftist posts on this thread yours rings the bell as the silliest, and I mean that with all due respect. Those who are "over skilled" have the right and the opportunity to get a better job or, if they are up to the task, start their own business. Those who make good money have the right to enjoy it without your jealous eyeballs watching their wallets and I can't believe anyone could be so stupid as to claim "everyone works hard." Let me guess ... you're 14 years old, right?

Let me guess, you fail to observe the world around you.. I agree a lot of people do not work hard or at all but those who are over skill get kept in their place by higher authorities because they think they know best... Granted many people just don't want the higher responsibilities but that does not mean they can not do some of the more daunting tasks. In a world that screams survival of the fittest you cannot sit there and say many people don't get left behind because they got screwed over by someone over along the way. Take your demeaning comment for example. So quick to take a stab at someone before hearing anything else... So while they may have the right most have no chance in hell at having the right opportunities. Call it jealousy but jealousy can only be created by an unfair system. Say you drive by someone in your Bentley or are being chauffeured around in your limo, of course there is going to people wishing they could have stuff like that. Don't get me wrong, some just think they are more deserving as well when they could not handle what some of the wealthy go through. But does that mean they need to be slaves who can barley afford to get by while the wealth and all the fancy possessions are being rubbed in their face day in and day out? All of that is what really creates greed, envy, and war...

Granted many people just don't want the higher responsibilities

And there ya have it. No business owner is going to pay more to people who show no effort to improve their skill sets.

yeah but they fail to see all the hardships peoples go through and how many struggles they have on the low income they make. We have to live within our means. which is not taught in schools and actually the banks and credit card companies promote borrowing and overspending to trap people in the high interest rates. Just because someone is not that bright does not mean that they should be subject to bad teachings and subliminal messaging just to make others wealthier. We need to use our broadcasting systems to teach people not scam them and try to make as much money as possible. Like the entertainment industry doe not give a shit about what messages they put out there. All they care about is their ratings and cash flow.

Businesses are not places of social engineering. As a worker, you leave your baggage outside the entry door.
Once again, if the workers are unhappy with their wages, they have choices.
Let me guess....
So you apply for a job....You accept the terms and conditions of employment including the pay scale.
6 months later you decide to marry a woman that has two kids but no marketable job skills. She will stay at home and take care of her kids while you work.You now have three more mouths to feed...
Do you want me to believe that if you take your story about your new "struggle" to your boss, he or she should simply say "ok I will pay you more money"?....Never mind the other people who work there who perform their jobs equally as well as you do, but by virtue of your lifestyle, you "deserve" more than the other workers?...
If I were your boss, I would offer you one of four options....One, if available you can work some overtime to make more money. Two, you can show me through your performance and your willingness to find more efficient ways to do your job and you earn a promotion. Three Go get a part time job that does not interfere with your duties here. Four, Feel free to find employment elsewhere.

Actually my arrogant, egotistical, simple minded friend, I excelled in school graduated high school taking calculus and physics and it was all easy to me. Although English and spelling were not my strong points... Stopped going to college because I was learning the same things I already knew! plus I had no money to get by.. So who the hell are you to try to belittle me for a single statement that had some grammatical errors?? you see, I see the world in a different way, a peaceful way where dickheads and bullies like you do not exist.. You call that statement ignorance??? Do you not see what the hell is going on in the world? The only reason I know ALL of what was stated is because I was over seas fighting to supposedly protect your worthless ass! I apologize, I will be more careful with my punctuation and terminology. See the world is starting to hate Americans such as yourself, due to the greed and consumption of wealth. Maybe you should spend some more time observing what is really going on instead of following the corrupt American way... If you want to know why made that statement here is the answer. We need to protect our nation because people look on with hatred, greed and bitterness due to the accumulation of wealth and slavery. Therefore we need weapons to protect everyone who lives here for fear countries like us will be invaded. With all due respect, grow up, get over yourself, and treat people right!

Just so you know, I have not made mention of your poor language skills but rather the silly leftist ideas you spew.

Call it whatever you want I am not a politician and cannot classify myself in any category. It is not an idea. It is what I see... If my "leftist" view is so wrong what do you have to prove me wrong?
