"Trickle-down economics" should more properly be called "Flash-flood upward economics".
No, the right wing found a very effective tool in maintaining that if corporations have to pay taxes, there will be fewer jobs, and/or jobs will go overseas. Unfortunately, we are not living in an era of the brightest generation. Consider that since Reagan, several trillion taxpayer dollars have been redistributed upward, always on the promise that this would result in the creation of a mass of "good, family-supporting jobs." We don't seem to notice that this money continues to be used to build factories in foreign countries, exporting our jobs. We focused on "getting tough" on our powerless poor while ignoring what the richest few were doing to this country, and welcomed the Clinton policies that increased the number of people absolutely desperate for jobs while decreasing the number of jobs available. We have seen a massive number of jobs de-unionized, and broken down into pt. time, bottom wage jobs, and we still don't get it. Consider those who call themselves progressive today while supporting Hillary Clinton, who played a vital role in dismantling the New Deal/Great Society to help create a huge poverty-wage workforce here in the US. I do think it's a lost cause.
"Ulotriciously ugly" (with a /sh/ sound) is what I heard. The closest word I could find is "ulotrichous" (with a /k/ sound, and also the accent on the o) which means "(belonging to a group of people) with woolly or crisply curly hair". Sounds vaguely racist to use it as an adverb for "ugly", if you ask me.
Hey, Maxrot, I can tell your icon's messed up from being saved as a jpeg. Have you ever thought of cleaning it up and re-uploading it as a png?
Oh please There is NO comaprison You ignore Obama accomplsihemts. Affter taking on worst crash in 80 yrs . Bin laden- top Al qauda dead. Middle class tax cuts / Obama Saved US auto industry & its 1.1 jobs . Economy is slowly coming back. Obama 's Foreign policy has been mostly successful Works very hard- has shown guts & accomplished what Bush Cheney were too weak to do .Bin laden & Iraq.. Obama did not lie us into Iraq killing & wasting trillions . .Did not give unfunded corp cuts- loopholes or threaten to gut SS or our kids education . Mitt Ryan are more of the same or worse GOP policies that failed so horribly - led to disaster - depresion/ long wars - corp perks - lies- greed -deregulation.
Obama is much better chocie than Corp cut- deregulation loving -womens rights taking Ss gutting. . GOP Mitt Ryan & Santorum But I fear GOP Kochs -Dick Armeys and their billionaire pals have more dirty tricks up their sleeve . I put nothing past them They have Fox Beck Hannity Rush & Tea Bagger congress working hard to crush Obama as they vowed years ago. Economy was not # ! goal Nor were jobs . GOP has done all the can to prevent a recovery. Now that economy is slowly improving Its driving them nuts . Paul Ryan may be Mitts VP . That spells total disaster for middle class, healthc are, education, Medicare and wages . GOP loves anti union / Right to work laws aka Work for LESS. Just listen to what they propose to do TO America
Ooh, a supermajority for the Supreme Court to strike down laws sounds like a good idea.
When its listed as average corporate rate, it makes me wonder which businesses are paying more and which are paying less. It seems that I've heard that some extraordinarly large corporations (like oil and defense) pay nothing or next to nothing in tax. I can only extrapolate that smaller businesses get stuck paying more because of the lack of resources they have to pay for tax experts to avoid paying taxes. Which brings up one other thought, how much do these large corporations pay experts to avoid paying tax? Wonder what the difference in pay to those experts and the tax they should pay is?

Maybe Santorum was going to say Government Negotiator, and thought because twice it wasn't harsh enough... but I doubt it. Blah... people eh Rick?

Romney and Koch;
Thom mentioned that Koch Bros. support Romney. Say no to Rom & Koch.

The People are fed up, and though Obama is a slightly prefereable candidate, he's also bought and paid for. The candidates that could make a real diference are the 1's running for congress. More progressive members in congress might help break the gridlock. Unfortunately, I don't see congressional races getting a lot of media traction anywhere.
I'm going ALL BLUE in Virginia . . . my War on Women's vote!
As Gov. Peter Shumlin took his spot on the granite steps of the Vermont State House, a row of people fanned out behind him wearing bright red t-shirts proclaiming, “Health care is a human right.” The slogan sounded noble, and wildly unrealistic. Until the governor spoke.We gather here today to launch the first single-payer health care system in America,” began Shumlin, a Democrat who has been governor barely four months. “To do in Vermont what has taken too long: have a health care system, the best in the world, that treats health care as a right, and not a privilege..

Smoking or Tobacco Addiction is same like a drug addiction.There are many people are addicted to tobacco and such addiction of smoking, drugs or tobacco is not only show bad effects on their physical health but also on the mental health which makes them bad. Sometimes they can also spoil their whole life because of this addiction.
That's kind of a dangerous tactic. I'm going to vote for the one who seems to represent my views. Will that candidate PLEASE step forward? Dennis?
Live stream noon-3 PM ET at "The Thom Hartmann Program" is a tremendus show had ever hear on radio . Repeated continuously for 24 hours, in a 128K Broadcast Quality MP3 format compatible with Barix and conventional PC/Mac-based systems. There are segments which I had overlaid with local underwriting or other promotional content for 60 or 120 second format.
Thanks Thom Hartmann for the radio Program !
Yes, America might slowly slip into the kind of South American non-democracy -- that's what worries me. Hal Sparks today told another case of a cop in Houston, threatening some blacks, who didn't do anything, with his taser. Arizona just passed a new law, that makes "annoying" websites as illegal as robocalls. This blog actually is supposed to annoy right-wingers. So are we in Arizona illegal, while here exercising our 1st Amendment rights?!
But in case there'll be a liberal dominated Congress after November -- how would those radical southern states deal with that? If it is so that liberals are increasingly leaving the south, the difference will get even extremer. To me this looks like gangrene....
The key problem is the south -- holding up any kind of progressive change. There gotta be a strong progressive Congress, not hesitating to intervene in southern states. We can't go on just watching them dragging us all into the abyss. They voters will decide that in November....
