Another stupid post. That is what state and local taxes are for.

I have never never voted against raising the local taxes. The feds should have nothing to do with it.

Get the feds out of all this stuff that they should not be in. State and local taxes should be higher than the fed tax.

By that I mean the fed needs to be as small as possible. Get rid of half the departments and give more to the states.


See Bob you are a lefty hack that could never blame anyone with a D next to thier name. So your opinion means very little to most Americans

I have zero confidence that congress--either side--has the ability to fix this, and I think we're in trouble. I'm beginning to think it doesn't even matter if we vote, because it's just going to be same old, same old. Until we get regs back on the banks, and until we get politicians out of the back pockets of big business and the financial industry, nothing will change.




Hmmm no mention of Dodd and Frank?????????????

you call yourself a moderate R LOLOLOLOL

It is a bad bill plain and simple. few tangibles that will deliver what is promised not unlike the bigger waste that was passed under the dems.
heres an idea. Tax breaks for companies that open factories in the USA.
Tax breaks for bringing business back to the usa.
Tax increases for outsourcing.
Trade agreements that mirror those of our partners.
Lets face facts That Harley that sells for 20g here and 60 in Japan, it didnt cost 40g to ship it.

Those numbers are from the first quarter of 2010. Hardly an indication of what the economy is like today.

The jobs bill was never designed to pass congress. I was designed to blame the republicans and allow Obama to campaign on tax payer money since he claims his campaign travels and speeches occurring daily now are to push the jobs bill...

Culture of corruption continues ...
