Americans for Fair Taxation

[decouverte d Elbe]

I think nurse, truckdrivers and construction drivers do deserve better salaries. Where did you come up with that one? I know for a FACT that the wealth in this country was distributed from the middle class, and not to it. I pay regressive and a progressive taxes everyday. I could be objective without denigrating and stir debate by showing other arguments without labeling you either. The excesses of Capitalism cut in and reared it's ugly head pal, and the biggest chunks of fat lies at the top of the barrell..agreed?

deficit neutral..isn't that what you wanted? More money to educate our young. More teachers, smaller classrooms. Stimulates the economy. Personally, I wouldn't of cut the food stamps, because they stimulate the economy better,but there are bluedog Democrats in Congress. How about that corporate loophole part? Here's some highlights, looks like some people valuet these jobs, and others don't.

The legislation provides $10 billion to school districts to rehire laid-off teachers or ensure that more teachers won't be let go before the new school year begins. The money could keep more than 160,000 teachers, including 16,000 in California and 14,000 in Texas, on the job, according to Education Department estimates

The other half of the bill has $16 billion for six more months of increased Medicaid payments to the states. That would free up money for states to meet other budget priorities, including keeping more than 150,000 police officers and other public workers on the payroll. Some three-fifths of states have already factored in the federal money in drawing up their budgets for the current fiscal year.

Finding ways to keep the border security bill budget neutral also held up action. Republicans sought to take unused money from the economic stimulus act, an idea rejected by Democrats, who eventually prevailed with a plan to raise fees for companies that import foreign workers into the United States by obtaining H-1B and other visas for highly skilled workers

The $600 million border security bill includes money to deploy 1,500 new enforcement agents along the border and make greater use of unmanned aerial drones for surveillance. Because of rules that revenue bills must originate in the House, the bill might have to go back to the Senate before being sent to Obama for his signature
