We need someone who will take control, and actually wield the veto pen. Barack Obama is a limp-wristed pansy. It's sickening the entitlement culture that has infiltrated DC.
The only person I know currently taking that road is Chris Christie, new gov of NJ. And he's pissing off a whole lot a people along the way. Good for him.

My new well drilling rig was 1/2 a million dollars. That money was 100% spent in the US.

Without the Bush tax cuts, I might not have bought it.

My old one is just three years old and like new.
The country can't live indefinitely on deficit financing. The solution is clear. Your new oil well rig may have helped you, but it didn't help the country.

Really? You don't think that business owners investing in new equipment, working, creating income and jobs and therefore more taxable money for the government doesn't help this country? Really?

What???? Look at the jobs. It had to be built on a big truck, that had to be built. Then painted.

There was service jobs, sales, prep.

That 1/2 million went directly in the economy.

Then add the drill rods, air compressors, subs, grout pump, mud pump, cement pump.

Add another $250,000 to that.

And that's precisely why people like you don't care. You don't make that kind of money, so its no matter to you at all. Easy to rob Peter to pay Paul when you're Paul, eh?

And your taxes are going up if you earn < $250K. Deal with it.

Because whether it be on the local or state level, or a national VAT, it will affect just about everyone. Period. To believe otherwise if foolish.

Actually I do in good years. In poor years I fall a little short.
