5. Quit taxing rich people, tax the poor. The rich people create jobs. See, our whole tax system is backwards.

Add to the list.

I'm going to add one more and do a recap.

1. Eliminate all entitlement programs.

2. Lower minimum wage to 35 cents per hour.

3. Eliminate OSHA and the EPA

4. Invade any country that has resources we could use and take them by force.

5. Quit taxing rich people, tax the poor. The rich people create jobs. See, our whole tax system is backwards.

6. Eliminate any rights an employee has. No rights to a safe work environment and most definitely no rights to collective bargaining of any sort, especially wages.

7. Anytime a Catholic Priest molests a young boy the Catholic Church pays a million dollar fine to the government. That should cover our defense budget.

What about a fart tax. Looks like I will be living on rice and beans for the next few years and would pay my fair share.

So you're ok with teachers molesting kids then? That seems to be more likely than a priest these days but I know how much the left loves their teachers.

This is what I wanted, other people to chime in. First I need to ask...is the teacher male or female and what is the sex and age of the "victim"?

Not so funny. Once Obamacare is fully operational, that could become a staple of our diets. We may even see the shortage of organ donors disappear- class warfare could extend to harvesting organs from the dregs of society, such as drunk or strung out homeless people passed out on the streets. After all, don't Congressmen and other powerful politicians have a right to life that supercedes those "low lifes" on welfare and/or food stamps that cost the taxpayers too much money? The anticipated death squad concept could be expanded to organ harvesting and other medical "experiments" to be done for our own good, because Big Brother Barry knows better than we silly little people could ever fathom and such "compromises" could lower the cost of government spending on medical care.

The fiscal cliff knows no boundaries. There is no negotiating with idiots who insist on radical taxing and spending our money. Let the country fall off the fiscal cliff and let BO take the blame for causing it to happen under his watch. Let the morons in Congress show their true colors, while they allow such a disgrace to their policies damage America. This will be an event that the media will not be able to hide. For once, we should get out of the way and BO and his henchmen flail about, looking for someone to blame for his and his administration's dismal failure. It's time to get out of the way and let the consequences of his foolishness unfold so that someone better and smarter can step up and truly work on the issues of the day, including placing a halt to the uncontrolled taxing and spending.

He will still blame Bush for whats happening, and he will only explain he is trying to get us out of the mess.

The media will present it as such. And the fools in this country will continue to believe it. Unbelievable as it seems, that line of BS still works like magic.

He'll probably continue his blame game until the end. The end will be messy and his excuses won't matter then.

The only way out is to cut government spending and leaving personnel tax rate as they are.

I agree 100%.

#1. We have a spending problem. Nobody wants their bull gored.

#2. We have a taxing problem. Everyone needs skin in the game.

The solutions are simple. Making them happen? - Not so much...because Americans voted not to solve the problem.

The can gets kicked again.

Awesome!!

Here is a link to where you can mail in the 9% that you shorted America last year:

https://www.pay.gov/paygov/forms/for...ormId=23779454

I'll wait here for you to post your receipt for us all to see. (I'll frame it will be right next to the one that Multi-Billionare Warren Buffet doesn't have.)

You're on the clock boston...

Witch hunt??? Thats soooo sexist dude. Can't say stuff like that in the new, tolerant America.
Anyway, let the hunt begin
I'll kick in some dough for pitchforks n kindling.
