While you are correct, The real issue is not for people reading/.
for example, how many of our mothers and fathers would know that? how many of them even know what DRM is? It will not be until they buy new devices they realize that they can no longer access their music / movie collection.*
* - i know itunes music is no longer DRM bloated, however the movies are and not everyone stripped the DRM, or even knows how to from their songs bought 10 years ago
I will respond to you then my friend. I never said income taxes, I said taxes. I personally dont care who is taxing me or why, im simply doing the math on everythhing, some 19% federal rate some 10% state rate all the taxes taken from my paycheck before i even get it SS FICA ETC. a 8.25% sales tax on pretty much everything. it all adds up. Sure I pulled the number 60 out of my ass, but it is well over 50 when all is totaled in.
no the issue is the fed spends money on the same thing as the 50 states, its redundant, there is no need for the fed to be involved (and no constitutional right)
I was saying the FAA in general is one of the better federal regulation bodies. its the many others I was disagreeing with. My Apologies if i was not clear
not the argument I was making. the argument was that if I today say I will spend 1 million dollars more then I did this year. do you follow so far?
so then after i already said i intended to spend 1 million more than last year, but i NOW say that i am ONLY going to spend 900K more then lanst year! holy shit right??!?! I am saving 300K right??
FUCK NO! I am still spending 900K morethis year!
and this is how the politicians (i wont say any party because both are guilty) fuck us americans.
I never said that the states do everything, the constitution gives SOME leway, i think we can all agree we dont need 50 varients of NASA. on the other hand, whar CALI wants in their state may not be what NY or MASS or FLA wants in theirs, and they should not have to, as per the way the country was founded
dont ignore the fact that the senate did not pass a budget for 4+ years, yet the president and senate have gotten 99% of what they have wanted for 5 years now
The fact that you throw out insults, rather than facts, and get modded insightful tells me the diggers have moved back to slashdot...shame too, if you disagree, thats one thing , say so and explain yourself. the namecalling just makes you look like a bandwaggon riding mother fucker
Thank you. I have no issue spending a good portion of my income to provide for utilities, public works and other things, I dont like paying for other things that im being forced to pay for more and more every year however.
the issue is taxes dont need to go up, as a new yorker, i already spend over 60% of my income on taxes.... spending needs to go down. as such fuck anyone who wants more of my money when i can barely pay for my food
If the dems agreed to REAL cuts (not cuts from projections, which are not real cuts) that would be one thing. The problem is, I havent seen the democrats agreeing to any cut to anything!, not even mil. spending which we expect from them! no
by your logic, if one side is worse then then other (while I argue both sides suck major cock) then the bad side would be obama, who has spent trillions in 5 years(, has not closed gitmo - when he promised he would do so in his fist year its year 5) has driven up the costs for most americans in regards to healthcare and to top it ooff claims he has the right to kill any american at any time for any reason, yet charges REAL terrorists as if they are normal americans
pretty much, we need to dismantle some95% of all federal agencies. All they do is cover what state agnencies do. and the 10 amendment leaves the details to the states, not the feds
I know many people who fly small planes, I have flown small planes. to put it simply, the government, while helping with some things, is hurting others.
the BIG issue is that NO ONE offered cuts, both sides offered "cuts from projected spending" in otherwords, both sides offered up more spending than the previous year.
I know know about the rest of you guys, but to me, if i spend 10 bucks today and only 12 bucks tomorrow when i thought i was going to spend 15, thats still an increase, not a cut! sadly the government, both republican or demorcratic, thinks otherwise/
Even with sequestration, the number of $$ spent this year is more than the previous year. as such there is no excuse for this.
having said that, to put it simply, there is no excuse that for example kerry is giving 250 MILLION to eqypt, while we have issues at home. I dont know about the rest of you, but i for one cannot take the idea that americans have enough money to give to other countries, even when we cant open the white house the school kids, and we cant take care of our own people.

no you are ignoring all the other taxes, gas tax or sales tax and so on and so on. i was adding up ALL tax, not just 1 type of tax.
if we simply start spending less then we take in, when we take in more every year then the year before it, taxes do not need to go up.

and you didnt even add in the 8% sales tax on pretty much everything from a brick and mortar store.
that would be under clinton. remember the surplus a lot of people like to claim? yeah the GOP had congress then....
americans were higher on the global scale before the federal government took over education anyway....
no the issue is the fed spends money on the same thing as the 50 states, its redundant, there is no need for the fed to be involved (and no constitutional right)
everyone missed my point
I was saying the FAA in general is one of the better federal regulation bodies. its the many others I was disagreeing with. My Apologies if i was not clear

and this is how the politicians (i wont say any party because both are guilty) fuck us americans.
it's people who make the bulk of their money through capital gains rather than income
as he said.....new england democrats.....
the thing is you will say when is the last time X cut spending 45% will say well YY didnt cut spending either!!! and nothing will change
there are a few senators and congresssmen who will actually vote based on "what is right" , they can be counted on one hand sadly.
I never said that the states do everything, the constitution gives SOME leway, i think we can all agree we dont need 50 varients of NASA. on the other hand, whar CALI wants in their state may not be what NY or MASS or FLA wants in theirs, and they should not have to, as per the way the country was founded
unless the senate pushing it forward regardless
dont ignore the fact that the senate did not pass a budget for 4+ years, yet the president and senate have gotten 99% of what they have wanted for 5 years now

simple, they dont expect more money, they make the claim that they shoould fet it, but thats it... so we as americans spend XXX on nothing

the math does not back the claim simple as that. They are simply using this as an excuse to pull the american strings tighter than they already are
sad thing is you are moded funny

no the dems never intended to work with the repubs, they simply wanted to make it look like the repubs were being the bad guys
see how easy it is when we blame X or Y instead of dealing with the problem known as Z??
