So was I (hoping for a less polarized period of time), but it seems to me that it's primarily the conservatives who are digging in their heels and being stubborn...

Mr. President......Americans are suffering from unemployment and a growth stifling tax policy. End the IRS! Change the tax system to a FAIR tax! Cut the Corporate tax rate!

Cutting the tax rate to large, profitable corporations (notice the qualifiers I put in there) would be the LEAST fair thing to do. Under conservative administrations, it is small businesses, the middle class, and the poor who have suffered.

Break out of the chains of the Democratic party's destructive tax and spend ideology. Repeal the "stimulus" bill and let's get people back to work.
|
If stimulus money keeps certain businesses in business, it seems to me that's saving jobs. Having said that, I think the stimulus measures could have been more strategically done.
And how is Republicans' big spending while cutting revenue any less destructive? At least the Dems recognize you need to have money to pay the bills, and raising taxes on the wealthy is necessary.
Peace, love, and watermelons, my friend.

HEP. A Corporation cannot pay tax. It is not a person. That's why people make corporations - to protect their "person". So, what is corporate tax? Basically, it is filed under Corporate Expense tacked on to the cost of goods/service. So, who is paying this tax? The consumer.
You dig?
Sometimes, we just need to open our minds and see the bigger picture outside of class warfare that the government and the media (both left and right and down the middle) are plying us all with.

So....should everyone sit idly by and do as Nero and fiddle while Rome burns? If you believe it is primarily conservatives, you have blinders on. Read the polls.

Complete and utterly unsubstantiated ballyhoo.....You obviously know very little about economics and business. Typical leftist rhetoric. I own two small businesses and I can assure you that you are sooooo wrong.

Which businesses???? Unemployment is at 9.7% (the real number is likely double digit)

Raising taxes on the wealthy (translate that into small business owners) destroys jobs and damages the economy. Cutting taxes increases revenues......and taxes are going up on everyone when the Bush tax cuts sunset...everyone. (10% rate returns to 15%)..everyone. Taxes are far to high...far too high under Bush and completely unfair.
Dems aren't paying bills...they are printing money and destroying the value of the dollar. The Republicans aren't conservatives they are just like the Democrats, except the Democrats are dangerous. Different wings of the same bird.
