Hello Guys,
Here are some of my thoughts.
First hang or shoot the bean counters and CEO's for distorting there numbers as they do and are so good at to collect their bonuses or incentives for saving the company money by moving their business off shore!!
There are currently just enough taxes and tariffs in place if you look at
THE TOTAL LANDED COST to have an item made overseas and shipped here it really is not profitable on most items. Not to mention the poor quality of items coming in.
What ever happened to fair trade ?
Raise the taxes and tariffs on incoming goods to level the playing field.
Why can't we charge the same money for our grain as we pay for a barrel of oil?
There was one of them news shows 20/20 or 60 minutes what ever on not to long ago that was talking about the billions and billions of uncollected tariffs that nobody is chasing down to collect. There is definitely some wrong with that picture!!
As far as minimum wage goes if we need it, people who are making minimum wage are not very far above the poverty line and live a very humble,meek life filled with strife!!
And most are getting some kind of government assistance!
I think this could be one answer to our countries problems. Please do some reading before you blurt out it will never work!!!
Americans For Fair Taxation: Americans For Fair Taxation
It has passed in some states and SC where I live has passed some of the legislation for it to become reality!
A proposed take home your entire gross pay with no taxes taken out! how many times can the government tax your gross wages!!
But when you go to purchase anything you would pay 23% sales tax.
This would eliminate the "under the table salaries" the illegals would also be paying 23%,any one visiting the USA would pay 23%.
Everyone would have more money in their pocket to help stimulate the economy.
Here in SC most people that are middle income paying about 33.3% of their wages in taxes when all said and done.
Me being a Damn Yankee (because I came to visit and never left, soon to be converted after 20 years) Pennsylvanian actually pay more taxes here in SC than I did in PA when all is said and done because of the way taxes here are structured and collected.
No more 600 page tax forms to file your taxes,no loop holes for anyone.
No more IRS is needed and obama's billion $ creation of more IRS jobs could go to something else. Having to send 1099 on everthing over $200.00 what a stupid f*&#king idea that is!!
How is it possible that the feds get their cut from your gross, the state takes theirs from your gross, not the lesser amount that has already been taxed, if your in a state that has local tax it's taken from your gross and not from your wages have already been taxed twice!!
Now the stupid bastards are talking VAT TAX on top of our already heavily taxed income!!!
When sent the British back home for wanting to impose all kinds of taxes.Why have
"We The People" let it get this far, and our country come to this point??
Every thing the Government has tried to run is bankrupt or on the verge of being bankrupt and their idea is to throw more of our tax dollars at it and not fix the problems.
GOVERNMENT YOUR ALL FIRED!!
Sorry guys rant over!!
Regards

Due to economic hard times the light at the end of the tunnel will be switched off until further notice!!
