Re: Lousy said by jc100:Actually, if you wanted a true capitalist free country, we SHOULDN'T be handing the telcos and cable companies BILLIONS of dollars in tax payer money and tax breaks. If this weren't happening, YOU WOULD have a valid point. Since we are spoon feeding the industry at the American peoples' expense, IT WOULD BE NICE to see something for our effort. However, the case be told, we WON'T. Companies simply take and pocket the money, and give little in return. In other countries, this would be unacceptable. In America were the best lobbyists money can buy solve everything, apparently such crap is tolerated. Therefore, while we have denser cities than many fiber connected countries, we have much slower internet. It's not because the companies aren't given money to build. It's they prefer to hoard the money versus actually using it for its intended purposes. I agree 100%.. I'm not defending any corporations... I'm defending the right to ALL citizens / groups of this great country to participate in a free market. I think all Federal Government funding of private corporations is unconstitutional and illegal.
Personally, I think the income tax is a complete failure... There are 66,000 pages of tax code... Do we REALLY need this much tax code? I bet we could create a tax code with 100 pages or less that cleared up all the BS loopholes for the rich and corporations. Though, I am in favor of taxbreaks for companies that PROVIDE results, and the low / middle class majority. Companies that are raping the American people / outsourcing shouldn't be getting tax breaks, IMHO.

| Hate to burst your bubble but a totally free market and hands off government WOULD NEVER WORK. The government MUST be involved in somethings. Too bad, it doesn't handle those responsibilities well. It's no one's fault either but the taxpayers. We hand over our money and don't demand accounting for it. For too many years, we've given the government a blank check and said have at it. Hence we get pork barrel spending with crap that shouldn't even be given a second thought. 300 million dollar bridge to nowhere Mr. Ted Stevens? Still, the same token, we must have them doing some stuff.
I enjoy having roads both city and federal highways
I enjoy having Hospitals
I enjoy having Emergency Personnel
I enjoy that fact that research is done into advancements of medicines
I find it a good things Kids go to school to learn.
I think we all can agree Public Colleges are good places.
List goes on and on how we end up socializing stuff. This country is just one big socialist pool masked in Free Market. We're no different than the European countries. We've just been sold on the fact socializing is a bad word. Yet, it happens every day.
Schools are given federal money and socialized. If a public school fails to do well, the FEDERAL government takes over and foots the bills to keep it open. Tax payer money simply is a drop in the bucket when it comes to running school districts. Hence the fed HEAVILY assists.
Hospitals are the same way. They are given tons of money to keep their doors open by the federal government. Otherwise, you wouldn't have many hospitals or places to go when ill.
Enjoy streets? I do. The federal highway program socialized the building of such roads in the U.S. States are given money to keep them up too. No states could have afforded to do this based upon their OWN citizens taxes, especially places like Rhode Island, Alaska, and much of the West where populations are much smaller.
So on so forth. | |
