What did you expect? Everything is done out of self interest.
Not that I can see how a tax on gasoline is in my self interest and I already have VA Health Care.

Why are you taxing me in the first place?

Your solution makes cost of living sore. I causes the loss of jobs. It adds overhead cost to all aspects of American life.

Again, why are you taxing me in the first place and who was it that actually ratified the 16th amendment?

I expect a well thought out, short and sweet answer, to the serious question of the cost of the unconstitutional entitlement programs.

you va care is only good fro what is designated as "service connected" all else you PAY (the VA's first question they ask when you walk in is, "is it service connected, and do you have INSURANCE")

Looks like the administration is getting ready to deal with the agriculture industry.

Look like the administration is going after Big Agri.

"He then went on to detail how the rising age of the average farmer, now 57 as reported in the 2007 Ag census, the higher and more prolonged rates of unemployment in rural America and the loss of economic opportunity in rural areas across the country were all issues that he planned to address by improving programs at the USDA."

I hope increased interest and opportunity in farming and other agricultural areas (along with unions and e-verify) can help revitalize rural America.

We need them strong and vibrant along with our manufacturing industry.

The answer is TAX.

TAX is the only answer.

TAX means take from producers and give to non-producers.

TAX is not a good thing.

Are you including the generous subsidies Big Agri receives in your little rant?

Cost of universal health care solved.

There is another glaring example that the myth of capitalism and free markets is really a sham.

This industry is actually oligopoly that begs for and receives government bailouts. Why doesn't any scream and shout about these corporate welfare queens milking the system out of tax payer money?

There shenanigans have a direct impact on the nation's health.

Those that make statements about national security should investigate the posted links.

i have a simple question for you.

why would ANYONE want to pay more taxes to a government who bailed out the wall street elite and let them give themselves the biggest bonuses in their history, even with the PAY CZAR?

what is a sham is putting your faith in a government that would do that to you.

Did you check out the links?

Once you do I have a simple question for YOU.

Why would anyone want their tax dollars to subsidize and bailout an industry that is poisoning them with toxic food that impairs their health and adds to the biggest deficit contributor that both sides of the aisle agree on?
