Everyone complains about the rich paying more taxes and the poor paying none. What we need to do is have a flat percentage tax rate. Everyone pays something, and yes, the rich will pay more than the poor. As for the percentage, something less than 10%, after all, is the government greater than God? Yes, we are a nation that was founded on the principles of God and the right to choose the way we believe, not a freedom from believing or the lack of choice on how to believe.

Here's a simple fair tax: don't.

Our Federal Reserve will be printing money from nothing. Countries have already lost billions of dollars buying our country's debt. They are realizing that we will never ever be able to pay them back. Will our country avoid economic collapse when foreign countries refuse to buy and invest in these new trillion dollar bonds that our Democratic Controlled Congress is creating. The vast majority of this next trillion dollar bailout is not designed to meet the crisis, but an unprecedented pile of pork that is a clear sign of our new administration's incompetence. Rahm Emanual's comments says it all. Unbelievable!!!

He means a serious crisis gets everybodys attention which makes it a great opportunity to solve it properly, in a fair and democratic way.

Instead of allowing the special interests to continue making backroom deals which favors the wealthy, Multinational Corporations, and foreign governments!

Unbelieeable, taking advantage of a crisis instead of truly trying to fix it. This could be the best quote of the decade
