Do you think that maybe the govt. has too many "obligations"
Because "obligations" translates into career politicians giving away a lot of money and jobs to their buddies to ensure their re-elections.
I guess that what we see in this thread is a good example of differing viewpoints on this subject.
But all I personally see when I look at what is happening is a big scam and con game that goes on indefinitely in Washington D.C.
How about this crazy idea: The govt. stops spending on shit it can't afford. And if Agent488 opens a business and it takes off and turns into a giant corporation and makes crazy profits...you know what? He should be able to KEEP his money that his corp. earned.
All of this class warfare is ridiculous and turns us against ourselves.
I WANT to be rich. And I work my ass off to make it happen. I'm not going to join the chorus of folks saying: "OMG! That big corporation is actually SUCCESSFUL and making a ton of money! The govt. should TAKE their money!"
That sounds really good...until you realize that YOU personally will never see that money that they steal from big corporations. They will spend it to fund another war. Or build a bridge to nowhere. Or any of a million other things they do to consolidate power.
That's the way I see it. And no, I don't care if big corporations have found loopholes to not pay taxes.
That's the POLITICIANS doing that shit because they are getting paid under the table and passing out favors.
The EXACT same politicians that you Democrats stand behind and you Republicans stand behind and repeat their party lines and talking points in heated debate.
In my opinion they are all crooks and there is no difference between any of them.
