I think that's completely stupid at this point.

Only if you want to become less competitive in the world marketplace.

Huh? This makes no sense.

If taxes and regulation are reduced, the US becomes more competitive in
the world marketplace for labor and products.

We're already competitive. The only people who will be helped by lowering
taxes will be rich people and large corporations.

Will lowering taxes hurt poor people and small companies?

Of course not, but the poor already pay minimally, and small companies have
other expenses that are a much greater problem.. e.g., medical insurance.


What's your point? The Kyoto agreement was flawed.

The point of diminishing returns. Why should the US take extraordinary
measures to decrease net world pollution by 1% when China, by taking much
lesser measures can reduce net world pollution by 5%?

Huh? What does population have to do with the Kyoto Accords, which you cited
as your example?

Do you think outlawing abortion at the Federal level is Constitutional?

Depends on the wording of the law I would imagine.

No, it depends on the enumerated powers of the Constitution. Is abortion
interstate commerce?

You asked me what I thought. I told you. I'm not a constitutional scholar
and neither are you.

Congress only has the power to declare war. We are at war in Iraq. When
was it declared?

What does this have to do with lowering taxes?

Ever wonder what pays for a war?

Young men and women with their lives.

Again, you're not making much sense.

There's many thing to some people that don't make sense. That is not
sufficient to make it untrue.

Again, you're not making any sense. I'm amazed. Usually, you can sustain an
argument a bit better.

Jonathan,

Go ahead and tax the rich.

One small problem.

The rich run the government.

The rich write the laws.

Who in the Senate is not a millionaire?

The Clintons became multimillionaires by holding public office .

Because of government's ability to tax corporations and wealth, corporations
and rich people will always have strong interests in controlling the
government.

Business leaders become rich through stock options -creating shareholder
value.

Politicians become rich through graft, influence and corruption.



So how do you propose to tax the rich?

Amen!

Even Clinton called for more taxes for himself. That's how.
