| And Ronald says......
"Ronald is an eighth-grade dropout and self-taught computer programmer from Louisiana who makes a killing off of irritating the hell out of others"
and this golden nugget: "This is censorship", claims Scelson, who claims anti-spam vigilantes block customers from getting all of their e-mail. "People still buy this stuff".....*sure* they do Ronald....and Tanya Harding will be the first female President of the United States of America.
Crap is as crap does......especially when you look as foolish as a certain *other* Ronald who also happens to be a Clown. |

Since I pay taxes, I will benefit. Since rich people pay just about all of the income taxes in America, they will benefit.
However...
A 350 billion dollar tax cut does not matter one bit. Over the next 10 years, cumulative GDP of the US will be more than 100 trillion dollars. Reducing taxes on that economy by .35% is diddly-squat. The current tax cut is the functional equivalent of free supersizing of your extra value meal.
If you want to get serious about tax cuts, try a 350 billion a year instead of over a decade.

Actually, you won't benefit. Not in the short term or the long term. In the short term, the refunds will be made by raising taxes elsewhere (state and local governments for starters). But the reality is we don't have the money to give back, so the US is going into debt to provide the tax cuts. Further debt, that is. The long term is that you're going to have to pay back the current cuts plus all the interest plus the existing debt and its interest that we're already trying to ignore. When the baby boomers start to retire, the US is going to be in deep trouble. |

In the short term, I am expecting to get about $600 off of my 2003 taxes. That's a benefit.
In the long term, I am expecting to do nicely with dividend and capital gains tax reduction. My SPDR's will continue to build a long term nest. That's a benefit.

I don't see any tax hikes in for me locally. Elected officials don't last long in office (see Dick Celeste) in Ohio.

The debt is largely irrelevant. It is a fraction of GDP. US interest rates are incredibly low despite government borrowing.
said by DonLibes :
When the baby boomers start to retire, the US is going to be in deep trouble.
Only if new benefits are awarded them, like free prescription drugs. US demographics are positive. The largest population boom US history (Baby Boom echo) is underway. Coupled with heavy immigration, the population pyramid is in good shape.

There are plenty of future tax payers in America. Contrast with to Japan, Germany, and Italy.

The Rich pay most of the income tax? where the heck did you come up with that nonsense?? The "rich" pay less than 1% of income tax, while they control 90% of the money.
lower-middle and middle class pay the majority of the income tax.
what planet you on man???? |

I'm a tax attorney, and I majored in economics in the college days (those were the days...) anyway:
No, acually you or anyone else will from this tax cut.
Since the money to fund this will be borrowed at the effective intrest rate it will be about 1 trillion dollars.
and Acually no the US GDP will not grow by 1000% over the next ten years
thats 10 trillion a year? |

The United States GDP in 2002 was 11 Trillion Dollars and the national debt is 6 Trillion Dollars
The low interest rates are causing the dollars international presence to drop.
So your SYPDR's won't be doing better anytime soon :P
Economy boosting tax cuts are SHORT TERM (1-2 yrs) and they are paid with GOVERNMENT SPENDING CUTS. |

|  Ok yeah they are very dishonest.
The oil contract for who would have been able to take care of any oil-well fires that may exist in Iraq. Was awarded to Halliburton where Dick Cheney was the former CEO.
They didn't go through the NORMAL contract bidding process they just awarded it to Halliburton.
Ok, It's true that Halliburton is recongized for put out oil fires the best.
Ok then lets chose Halliburton.
But instead of just giving them the 4 billion dollars for the fires. The contract included 7 billion dollars of oil contracts that will be awarded to Halliburton.
Then he announced that Halliburton was chosen to put out the fires. Hiding the truth that Halliburton will get Iraqi oil aswell.
He's alot less than honest. |

Someone has to be buying that spam stuff, otherwise these goons wouldn't be financially able to send out the mammoth amount of e-mails they do. Not to mention the sheer inconvenience of having to forge so many e-mail address, finding a new ISP every few weeks as people try to find you and so on. Trust me, even though it's annoying as hell, some of these guys are making a lot of money. P.T. Barnum said, and rightly so, "there's a sucker born every minute" and quite frankly the spammers are finding those suckers. They probably annoy a good million+ for every poor soul they sucker in to buying their crap, but its been documented they're making money and quite a lot of it.
I've come to really be annoyed with spam and spammers because they're peddling generally worthless, fraudulent stuff and are the internet equivalent to (highly annoying) door-to-door salesmen. Add the annoyance factor to the fact that they're causing an unprecedented amount of bandwidth to be eaten up and you have a major problem. Not to mention the sheer number of hours lost having to delete their unwanted crap from our e-mail in-boxes each year.
