Potential Government Shut Down

[Chico23231]

Overall disappointed with the Dems not realizing its gonna take much deeper cuts to get this thing in order, but whats new? I would be knee deep in the Pentagon's budget cutting away, state and foriegn aid, government contractors, and the government workforce as a whole-2 year freeze isnt sh*t. All earmarks need to go as well.

It's not just the Dems. It's the entire system.

I agree with everything you said but I also think its time for the right to also fix the tax rules for large corps that get away with paying little to no taxes. While I'm the first person to say I hate taxes I feel everyone should pay their fair share. That goes for the large corporations to the poor. I also think its fine for the rich to pay a larger % but I also think that the poor also needs to pay some taxes. Everyone yells for cutting budgets but they raise hell when its their things getting cut.

Federal Corporate tax needs to be lowered from i think like 35%, 60 minutes had a good story on it a couple weeks ago. Major companies are moving offshore to lessen their tax burden. Companies that thrive on doing business in the states move to tax shelter-like countries ie Swizzland, and reduce their tax from 35% to like 15%-25%...so we because of stupid tax law miss out on trillions. It would be nice to have that money.
