Republicans - roll back revenue and spend anyway

[wordsmythe]

ANYTHING is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

IF all the walmartians were to ban together and say we won't work for less than $15 an hour and they stick to it because they believe that's what it's worth then the company has the right to bring in illegals who will do it for less because they can?

If they take manufacturing jobs like putting cars together over seas because they can make more money doing it they should do it because they can?

Is this what YOU are saying?

Pushing an entire class of people into poverty for their own excessive greed is a good thing?

So just because they can make things cheaper, by your logic, it should be ok for the Chinese to make things and send it over here to be sold to make profit for their company and that's OK.

To send all that money somewhere else for the good of a few at the top is what you base your logic on?

The federal government should be making higher tariffs on imported goods so that if they want to sell their stuff here they will have to raise prices to do so.

Oh wait a second they CAN'T do that to China because the Chinese now own most of our deficit which was created by the current administration.

And we wouldn't want to do that to AMERICAN companies who are bringing in their cheaply made products from over seas because they should be allowed to make a profit on the cheap crap they paid someone else to make.

IF all the walmartians were to ban together and say we won't work for less than $15 an hour and they stick to it because they believe that's what it's worth then the companyThat would be called unionizing...and all the little walmart products that you have come to love and depend on would doube in price...because walmart is STILL going to make their profit.. has the right to bring in illegals who will do it for less because they can? No they don't have the right to bring in illegals...they already work there.....lol

If they take manufacturing jobs like putting cars together over seas because they can make more money doing it they should do it because they can? If it makes more money possibly...it's a little deeper than that Wordster

Is this what YOU are saying?

Pushing an entire class of people into poverty for their own excessive greed What is excessive greed Wordy? Sounds like a liberal comment...like Excessive profits...You are making too much therefore you are bad? What is too much...it's capitalism man....it's ABOUT making money...is a good thing?

So just because they can make things cheaper, by your logic, it should be ok for the Chinese to make things and send it over here to be sold to make profit for their company and that's OK. Each day we are trying to break down the tariffs and taxes on our good in other countries so we can compete there also. Some countries do things like tax the hell out of our beef or rice and such so the locals buy their own countries products. I believe in Free trade because in free trade the consumer wins buddy...

To send all that money somewhere else for the good of a few at the top is what you base your logic on? For the good of a few at the top huh? Again..you seem to reaaaaaally hate those that make large amounts of money Wordy....the liberals have really got to you on the class warfare thing.

The federal government should be making higher tariffs on imported goods so that if they want to sell their stuff here they will have to raise prices to do so. When they do this it raises the price. Look at Auto's....Japan CLEARLY makes a better product than what GM does......If we taxed the hell out of the Japanese owned car companies then I would be economically forced to buy an inferior product.....IE the consumer loses...

Oh wait a second they CAN'T do that to China because the Chinese now own most of our deficit which was created by the current administration.

And we wouldn't want to do that to AMERICAN companies who are bringing in their cheaply made products from over seas because they should be allowed to make a profit on the cheap crap they paid someone else to make.

Here's the deal wordy...If I open up a company making Widgets I'm opening that company to MAKE MONEY and a lot of it....all that I can...excessive Google like money. If I can get cheaper labor, pay less taxes, spend less on EPA stuff in some 3rd world country no one has ever heard of...guess what? They get the job. You can thank the Liberals for sending a lot of jobs overseas. Between the taxes and making it so expensive for businesses to meet the EPA standards they have run a lot of businesses overseas.

I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't alter my posts to make it look like I'm saying something I'm not.

Even changing the color of what you are adding doesn't make it obvious that I didn't post it. Since it's in a Quote Block with my name on it other might be misled.

I asked Lurker the same thing and he was kind enough to comply.

That's not quite right wordy. I simply bowed to your stupdity.

[wordsmythe]

As I bow to yours frequently.

It was a fair request.

The spin starts with the title Wordy hangs on the thread, “Republicans - roll back revenue and spend anyway” Revenue is at an all time record high, it has not been rolled back. The next problem with this is deficit amounts are expressed in raw numbers. All the factors involved are up in raw numbers. The GDP, revenues, spending and borrowing. What you need to look at is the relationship of deficit spending to GDP and that percentage is going down. That means an overall reduction in the rate of deficit spending and that reduction in the rate is two years ahead of projections.

Yes the government spends too much money. The best way to slow down government spending is to stop sending so much money to Washington in the first place. Maybe we need another tax cut.

Not so much spin as it is my commentary on, and opinion of, the news article.

The spin starts when you try to make it something else.

I reckon that I just called your opinion and commentary spin didn’t I.

Ya because its a such a bad thing trying to make the air clean to breathe, the lakes and streams clean to fish in, and the ocean clean to swim in. WOW! Are you sure you're in the right business, because you seem to have it down pat.

spend less on EPA stuff in some 3rd world country no one has ever heard of...guess what? They get the job.

ya, thats the mentality to have. Doesn't affect me, piss on them. I'd hate to think our US Army thinks like that.

I find it funny that you call those who critisize the president unpatriotic, but yet you're all for those Fat Cat Ceo's sending jobs overseas to American hating individuals.

Drifter,

I'd be sorely disappointed if someone your age (19) wasn't thinking like that; and bitterly disappointed if you still hold those thoughts in 40 years..

The Industrial Age and Technology are here but for a short time. Later the Earth will reclaim for herself what is hers.

Just enjoy this modern shit while it exists.
