More over-complicated stupid stimulus

Why is it that government can simply not do anything correctly? So they want to provide "stimulus", again, and buttress a failing methodology of redistribution of funds. So instead of simply adopting a flat tax rate, which would automatically save nearly everyone in the country money, they impose archaic, slow, complex and simply dumb processes.

The latest is a ridiculous effort that complicates the employer tax methods to give employees a whopping $15-$20 dollars back a week. Are we kidding? Seriously, are we kidding? Because I'm deciding now between laughing or crying. This is just moronic. You give 170B to AIG, you give 2.5B to Pakistan and you give your citizens a total of $1,040.00 for the year. Awesome. For a government of and for the people, we sure do screw ourselves. We have to be the most generous populous ever to walk the globe. We apparently care far more about giving our funds away than retaining them.

Just look at this process. It couldn't be more irritating. Simply LOWER THE TAX RATE FOR EVERYONE TO 20% with no deductions. Game over, close the book, we all get taxed equally and we move on from there. So you might be asking, why? Why do we not do a flat fair tax? Because, what the hell would the IRS have to do if you simply took: annual earnings x .20 = what I owe in taxes. It would remove their entire job. With no deductions to monitor, they have no task. In fact, you should be taxed at consumption, not earnings. Taxing you for purchases makes sense, taxing you for working doesn't. Again, you want "change and hope" work on the tax code. Stop the happy horseshit with BS stimulus items.

Fox News or CNN?

Ah, Fox and CNN. Where to start. Each one has its own bias. I was, for a very very long time an avid CNN viewer, literally the TV would be on CNN when I got home from work and stay there. Until the 2008 elections. I could not believe how much CNN backed the Democratic party. Almost to a point of annoyance. For every on RNC member on a panel there would be 2 DNC, usually one black man and one woman. The RNC person was almost always a white male. What I couldn't believe was the entire lack of respect for the opposing candidates on the Republican side. Now before you go "damn right-wing Republican" understand these FACTS: - Member of the Democratic Party - Libertarian - NRA Life Member What does that equal? Me. Not a single word up there said Republican. In fact, I've never voted for a presidential republican candidate. Maybe my lack of line loyalty allows me to have an open mind where others seen inherently sheltered. I have very strict guidelines for leaders; 1) be hon...
