Re: A Welfare Check and a Voting Card

Wow. This thread is sad. **** Republicans. Think about it the original idea was no taxation without representation right? So why not no representation without taxation? I'm looking for a logical argument against, not "why don't we limit it to white property owners" which I’m clearly not a...

Re: A Welfare Check and a Voting Card

I'd settle for just the property ownership requirement! That would separate the wheat from the chaff. :nod: Typical NYT drivel. :roll: So how much property? Property ownership is not a good deciding factor because then you can get taxation without representation. That’s why it should be a simple ne...

Re: Where, Oh Where Are All The Stimulus Jobs?

National job growth obtained by deficit spending is strangely familiar to personally financing unsustainable life styles through cheap credit. We know how that worked out. Why will doing it on a larger scale have a different effect?

Re: How do we create more sustainable jobs?

What do you think a business does when it's COGS goes up (either through onerous regulatory changes or increased labor costs)? It passes that cost on to the consumer. Or it's margins are reduced, or it cuts expenses, or it gets beat by a more efficient business. Or they outsource the labor :o

SCOTUS took up a similar issue in US v. Hemme where it held that Congress could not apply a gift tax retroactively where there was no gift tax when the gifts took place. It would be an unconstitutional "taking" by the government. Yeah I don't think it is a good idea but it has been talked...
