And penalizing those who go by the rules.

They create the money eating dragon, that eventually grows to the point that it cant be fed enough, when the economy collapses, the dragon finally dies. The tragic thing is , those who are usually responsible, rarely get the justice they deserve, because they either flee the country, or go into hiding. Leaving the those who hoped to gain by it from honest endeavor to clean up the mess and bury the carcass.

I need to add to that last comment: I in no way am upset that people make money or profit, as long as it is legitimate, not theft (like taxes) and on a level playing field. The louts in Congress are experts at tipping the field in their favor. Otherwise, we’d have a tax code fifty, maybe even 100 pages long, not the bloody abortion we’ve got now.

I wonder what it would take for “the people” to realize just how much jackasses represent the “monied interests”? Fer cryin’ out loud, they’re by far the richest louts in Congress! What’re they gonna do, screw themselves? Heck no! They’re gonna create an illusion that they give a rusty rip about anything, all the while creating a tax code and policies directly and generously favoring them and their rich friends.

What you are referring to Carlos is Mercantilism, the economics of the Reniassance Italian city-states, Hanseatic League, and Great Britain, whereby the state, or crown, utilized government charted business, such as the Dutch East India Co. to bring in the loot.

Not entirely unlike Dictator Obama, glombing onto the banks, GM, Chrysler, health care, and God knows whose next, before we can, if ever, stop the power binge.

“Since then, millions more Americans have lost their health coverage, and the average premium has more than doubled…”

Maybe, if the jackasses hadn’t passed job-killing legislation, “millions more Americans” wouldn’t have lost their jobs and consequently their insurance.

And another thing: When will jackasses (both Republican and Democrat) realize companies (major or minor) don’t pay taxes - they just act as a conduit to the federal treasury for the higher prices they charge to cover what the government steals from them? In the end, it is the customer, those “average Americans” they claim to hold so dear, especially the poor, that pay those taxes.

The party of the “downtrodden”? I hardly think so, especially with the rich louts they have representing them in D.C.
