Posting facts and correcting inaccuracies is not being a sore loser. Nice try, though. Once again, it was partly through coerced interrogation that Bin Laden's location was revealed. Coerced interrogation which Obama was against! All Obama did was say "yes" when asked should Bin Laden be captured or killed now that his location is known. Any president (except possibly Jimmy Carter) would have done the same thing.
There would not have been a Bin Laden to capture if Clinton had agreed to take him into custody in the first place.
What were the "war crimes" Bush and Cheney "committed?"
The Tea Party believes that the government should not raise taxes, should not spend more than it receives in revenue and that it respects the Constitution. How is "everyone" starting to see through that? what is wrong with believing in that?
You know they have to make this a big big deal, don't ya know! He ain't got nothing else going on.
So they have to sort of make this the biggest deal in history, cause they ain't got what it takes, to tackle the things Americans need to be tackled right here and right now.
This economy needs a new head Master, we need this housing market, to truly improve. Unemployment figures for real, need to come down.
Too many businesses as we know are closing doors or certain stores, this doesn't happen in a BOOMING ECONOMY you know.
And when you have someone who truly loves himself, and willingly takes credit for all the good, guess that someone needs someone to blame for the bad, and that to this day right here and right now is just plain PATHETIC and that goes for anyone else doing the blame game!
We need a new HEADMASTER that knows how to teach and get the job done.
Obama's ideas of "spreading the wealth" are clearly socialistic. These are the ideas that sprung up about this time 100 years ago that lead to the formation of the Soviet Union.
The problem with his tax plans is that they punish success.
Despite his skin color, Obama does not have the historical bonds of slavery to overcome the way Martin Luther King dreamed. He is not the decendant of slaves who finally made it to the top.
Hating wealthy sucessful people is just as wrong as hating poor people. It would be better to provide opprotunties for people to succeed equally rather than making people equal by punishing success. Nobody can force anyone to fulfil their potential. But the potential can be stolen.
Socialism is the means to which “democratic” political parties seek to build power. Even politicians who see themselves as conservative recognize that by building the peoples’ reliance on the government handout generates future votes.
That is the same way Joseph Stalin imposed communism on Russia. Osama Bin Laden gained huge popularity this way. If we allow government to continue down this path, soon there will be little left in America that is not controlled by the government. Do you trust them to do what's right after we relinquish more and more power to the Goverment?
Unemployment Rate Falls To 8.1 Percent As People Give Up On Looking For Work
According to the Internal Revenue Service, a record number of people renounced their U.S. citizenship last year. Businesses are going over seas.
Think about it: If the United States went from having the world’s highest corporate tax rate to one of its lowest, we instantly would become the favored destination for MNCs, domestic and foreign. The resulting explosion in employment and flood of capital coming on shore would unleash an increase in domestic wealth

Yeah consider this: 75% of corporations in the US avoid paying any corporate taxes using loopholes. Also, Japan has the lowest corporate tax in the industrialized world and they have been plagued with a stagnant economy for 20 years.
Today taxes are the lowest they've been since the 1920s So where's the jobs?, where's the prosperity? The Bush tax cuts were supposed to create jobs yet Bush is the first president since the great depression to leave his presidency with NO NET JOB CREATION. On the other hand George HW Bush and Clinton raised taxes and the economy boomed.
If you honestly think gutting social services, sticking it to the poor, cutting taxes so low that the country runs huge deficits, your clearly un-informed and part of the problem.

2% of the nations most wealthy own 90-95% of the wealth. Of course taxes should be higher for them since they have all the money. It's not punishing success, its common sense.
Suppose everyone payed a 15% flat tax, that wouldn't raise any revenue because that 2% that owns 95% of the wealth would pay less taxes.
Come on, where is the common sense anymore with you people.

Japan - The lost decade:
The strong economic growth of the 1980s ended abruptly at the start of the 1990s. In the late 1980s, abnormalities within the Japanese economic system had fueled a massive wave of speculation. A combination of exceptionally high land values and exceptionally low interest rates, credit was both easily available and cheap. This led to massive borrowing
Recognizing that this bubble was unsustainable, the Finance Ministry sharply raised interest rates in late 1989. This abruptly terminated the bubble, leading to a massive crash in the stock market. It also led to a debt crisis; a large proportion of the debts that had been run up turned bad, which in turn led to a crisis in the banking sector, with many banks being bailed out by the government.
Come on lkm370, Show us more of what you don't know.
Japanese firms were burdened with massive debts, affecting their ability for capital investment.
Cororporate Tax rate:
Japan - 40.69% Taxation in Japan
WASHINGTON, March 30 (Reuters) - The United States will hold the dubious distinction starting on Sunday of having the developed world's highest corporate tax rate after Japan's drops to 38.01 percent, setting the stage for much political posturing but probably little tax reform.

Lol, yep your probably one of the 49% of people who don't pay tax. so lets be FAIR why don't you kick in and pay taxes? Common get the checkbook out!
One should read before he starts blabbing. With the dubious distinction of having the developed world's highest corporate tax rate after Japan, of course they are leaving. How dare they!!!! Lol
They are just leaving and some foreigner gets your job... We need to shackle the corporation, put up the Berlin wall.
How idiotic, instead we should be encouraging the companies to stay just like they encourage you to buy a house and give you a tax break.
49% of U.S citizens don't pay taxes. If you are saying it should be fair, then everyone should pay.
