Business Plans

It seems that it’s a pretty simple business model, the people who run the business make the most money, and then people under them are delegated jobs and levels of pay accordingly. Why does Obama think the people at the top need to pay disproportionately more, therefore destroying this model, ruining businesses and further hurting the economy?

I propose a graduated income tax starting at 1% and slowly rising to a maximum of 30% for those making over $250,000 a year. All types of income would be taxed the same - wages and salary, interest, capital gains, dividends, and inheritance (with an exception for family businesses and farms).

No one should live tax-free. That includes minimum wage earners as well as the Paris Hiltons of the world who live off their parents. This system seems fair to me, and it would give most Americans a tax break.

And before you go crying about how it would discourage investment, that is nonsense; since all investments would be taxed at the same rate, investors would still look for investments that gave the best returns for their risk tolerance. It would discourage the reckless speculation that has ruined the stock market.

If you disagree, what is your ideal tax plan?

If we can’t have socialized medicine, then we can’t have socialized capitalism!

In my younger years I worked at a university in the U.S. (I won’t name it), in the animal research division. My asignment was to work in the chicken room in the nuclear research department. Most of those chickens have been there for their entire lives

Inside a boxed cage, day after day, week after week, month after month, and year after year, the chickens walked 2 feet one way and 2 feet back.

It was no wonder that when a chicken was able to jump out of his cage and onto the floor, that the chicken didn’t move more than 3 feet one way and 3 feet another way, until he was re-captured by the technician. Hence the tern, “..can’t think outside the box”.

It will take 900 billion dollars to bail out our billionaires that we love so much. According to right wingers, we don’t have 900 billion dollars. At least not for the American people (Healthcare). Since we don’t have 900 billion dollars, we will have to borrow it! And at the interest rate China is planning to charge us, it will turn our 900 billion dollar bailout into trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars of debt.

We always think about coming to the aid of the big people, why not let us make the moves? …think outside that box we’ve been kept in by the big boys…those animal technicians who feed and water the American people for 400 years. What would you do if you feel out of your box?

I say don’t bail out the billionaires and take those trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars and distribute it to the Armenian people. Let them buy their healthcare, education, retirement plans, start businesses, farm for America, buy American, buy America stocks and bonds, buy, buy, buy, build, build, build, etc,etc, etc.

If we are going to foot the debt, then we really should foot OUR debt. NOT THEIR DEBT!

Some people CAN think outside the box…

…..others are chicken.
