40 RINOs out to increase government 'revenues' (ie taxes)
He thinks he can retire on 200 X .05? That's $10. No wonder we are bankrupt.
Not necessarily the same thing.
No one ever said an election or two would clean all the multi-partied vermin out of DC..
We got a long way to go..
I wonder how many are RMSPers?

If only by "new revenue" they meant selling mining, drilling and timber rights on public land and off shore. Alas, we know they mean taxes.

Ron Paul, R (?)-TX

Get real. In this day and age, a compromise is the only way the two sides will be able to reach an agreement.
This was a done deal, agreed to by the Establishment Republicans and Democrats, and tax increases coupled with minimal spending reductions (reductions in FUTURE SPENDING) which will NOT undo any of the Democrats previous debt-increasing handouts whatsoever.
We need to cut at least 50% of the Federal employees, replace the RINO's and Democrats with Conservatives, and get back to allowing ONLY what the Constitution specifically and literally provides for (Limited Federal Government)....but then, the Liberal Courts will block it, if attempted.
The Nation needs a do-over, badly, right now.
The “entitlements” cuts have already started. We retired military have already got notice of huge increases on everything we have to now pay back to the government out of our retired checks to fund items that were promised us before we began our service. Now some stupid congressman says that they have to honor the promises made to the “active” military because we promised them. Yet, it is okay to cut our throats after the fact when we are too damned old to do a damned thing about it.
This doesn’t surprise me about the 40 or the Speaker, leftists all.
Why get upset?
The polls show Repubs support CAIN who wants to add a NEW tax.
Cain supporters gave them the go ahead. So don’t complain.
for the names...
there is no need to increase the tax RATE in order to increase tax REVENUE
since the fedgov is in every transaction, the trick lies in two things:
1. the number of transactions
2. the trade deficit
you want to increase the number of transactions to make the economy more diverse, increasing the chance of attracting foreign dollars either through investment or direct sales of domestic products
the main goal being to flip the trade deficit and increase the money flowing INTO the US.
to kick this off... decreasing taxation will allow the private sector a chance to develop new products with the money they are no longer sending into the fedgov
of course, what I’m suggesting limits the amount of money, and thereby power, flowing into washington.
what do you think the odds of that happening are??
It's called a “Constitutional Convention” in which the several states get together and cut the size of the federal government back to the 1800’s, install strict term limits for all elected officials and abolish every government employee and every bureaucracy not specifically authorized by the constitution.
I'm not being facicious here either. I don't think we can fix this out of control government by electing a few conservatives.
The Framers put in the option for the states to call a Constitutional Convention for this exact scenario that we now face. How smart they were. Now lets get started doing it!

No matter how much “new revenue” is garnered for the public trough, there will never be actual spending cuts.
Ronald Reagan found that to be true. George HW Bush fell into the same trap.
Stalemate, run out of money and another debt ceiling crisis. Increasing taxes won’t generate a dimes’s worth of deficit reduction. Raising taxes is just away for the Dims to punish their enemies: the productive class. The Dims also want to undermine the GOP with their base and there are apparently enough rino traitors willing to help them.
I forgot to mention the obvious
which trying to increase revenues to lower our debt and improve the country fiscally...
CUT SPENDING BELOW LAST YEARS TAX REVENUE... IMMEDIATELY
No fee hikes, no deduction cuts—no tax hikes. Cut spending! Begin with cutting federal funding for local governments to zero.
