    Not to mention the fact that the team driving the tractor for said megacarrier will only be making 12 cpm per each? That's okay, eh jessegobrowns?

    Not at all. Thats just the comedy of it all. The mega carrier can turn a loss year after year. That never hurts the CEO and company, they still make the big bucks and receive large bonuses and get a free excuse to screw over the working man. I like to call this trickle down economics.

    The unions was great in the beginning because they gave workers rights. Now they just hound workers to shut up and just keep paying dues try to tell you how great union is. I would like to see a way to unite without someone making a profit other than the worker.

    Keep voting people in office who want to hand out big tax cuts and find out who keeps benefiting.



    there is no middle class just the working poor

    So...What, You think higher taxes are the cure?


    If you do then you are part of the problem and don't have a clue how an economy works!

    The economy is beyond anyone in this forum to fix. the tax cuts you hear from politicians are not for you. do some research on the Regan tax cuts and how they affected the economy. Two much info for me to argue my point here, I could go on and on. Tax cuts are just a sales gimmick for you to vote for their sorry butts they really care about the corporations and lobbyist who bankroll them. I made around 47,000 last year as a union carpenter and paid 1100 of it to the feds. A small increase would not have meant that much to me but to the big dogs it could mean a couple feet shorter of a yatch. We made it big when we built our infrastructure it could use some polishing and we could use he jobs

    The Reagan tax cuts were exactly what was needed then and are exactly what's needed now!
    Who do you think employs you?

    The little guy?

    No, It's the big evil corporations that you're complaining about.
    Keep raising their taxes and you take away the incentive to grow their business and employ more people.
    Give then a tax break and they'll try to grow their business and take advantage of it and in the process they will provide more jobs for more people!

    It's really that simple.

    That would fix the personal and corporate tax issues.
    Businesses would flood back to the US to set up in a country with 0 corporate tax, payroll tax etc.

    big tax on big corporations help smaller business thrive. I know its hard to comprehend. Media has been spoon feeding your thoughts for years. Check out that picture you have Black a large corp probably didn't buy that truck. think outside the box. We have been living reganomics for years those tax cut have not been repealed. Hey if it's working for you keep on keeping on.

    That's one of the dumbest statement that I've read here in quite a while.

    Please...Make me understand that bull---t!

    Because it's complete nonsense!

    Uh....No, I don't pay much attention to the media...I think that Limbaugh and the like are as phony as the liberals that they hate!
    But I lived through the Carter years and survived and then watched my business grow and prosper throughout the eighties because the government got the hell out of the way and let me do what I do best!

    if you believe that high taxes on corporations helps small businesse in any way....You are sadly misinformed!


    No...I did witout any help from the government or any company or some screamin' lib with no understanding of how this country functions!

    Better do some homework dude....You are clueless.


    It's not working for me...I'm getting along in spite of the government and its efforts to squash the small businessman out of business.
     
    Jolsen Thanks this.
