Yeah, those family owned businesses like Walmart that are lobbying for this bill really need our support! How about the Democrats get their buddies at GE to start paying taxes first before they expand regressive taxation that literally takes food out of the mouths of the peasantry?

Literally???

Which states tax the sale of foods?

Instead what we have is pricks like you figuring out new an ingenious ways to part the lower classes from their money and homes, while shrinking the working class. I seriously hope I'm alive when the shit hits the fan because I will be one of the headhunters coming for you elites when it does.

As trollish as this might look to some people the parent post is right. This IS what is going to happen sooner or later. When 10% are calling the shots and sticking it to the other 90% the 90 is going to get pissed sooner or later.

Just as a heads up to any of the rich folks reading. Even the wealthy military generals are still middle class by station and won't abandon their men when the shit hits the fan. (maybe a few but not enough to matter)

Negative, cutting taxes INCREASES revenues because it allows more capital for investment and grows the economy which results in greater revenues. Do you think when stores run sales they do it to lose revenue? No, they do it to increase revenue by getting more purchase activity. Largely the same concept.

Read history, cutting taxes increases revenues, especially in the mid term (1 year plus).

Oh my. This argument was old 50 years ago.

tax cuts raise revenue completely debunked

We need to increase the taxes on the highest 1% to about 60%.

The middle class is being fleeced something terrible. The super rich have all the money and the poor/middle class have all the voting power. It is a sad thought to me that people are so sure they are going to become one of the super rich that they let themselves be used and abused the way they do.

Submission + - What clipboard view do you use in WindowsXP

Feltope writes: A question popped up on stackoverflow today that got me to thinking about the default clipboard viewer in xp. I do a ton of work on parsers so there are times when I have to manually open it and change the encoding while testing. (or copying example text) The problem is it isn't full featured and you have to go in and change the encoding every time you copy something to it. Does anyone know of a great clipboard replacement?

"you're not entitled to complain"

That is just plain wrong.

Anyhow I am a registered voter and a vet. In this country you have a right not an obligation to vote. By choosing not to vote you are still exercising that right.

I have already voted and I choose not to cast a ballot on some things (my choice and my own personal reasons) however there are some very important issues on our docket out here that are local that I did indeed vote yes or no on.

You are still exercising your right to vote by not voting if you choose. The problem starts when voter suppression happens etc.
