26 CEOs paid more than Uncle Sam

If the Amercian People believed that the Government would use our tax dollars efficiently and effectively, no one would have a problem with taxes being raised across the board. 

BUT... since our "leadership" (both the Right & Left) has shown that they do not have that ability, maybe we need to allow the taxes to go up and cuts in spending take place so that enough of us will get fed up with both the "entitled" and "corporate greed" to the point that we throw them all out and start over with a group that will truly represent the middle class.

Congress panders only to those "without" and to those "with", NOT those that are willing and able!

After all of the wall street crap, now they want Bernanke to give them more and they have and are making a mint off of the suckers in the markets. I say write to your congressmen and women and senators and stop Bernanke from giving wall street a dime!!!!!!!!!!! I am!!!

It s all a bunch of made up crap that wall street wants to make everyone pay out the wazoo for gas and oil and food and then wants the taxpayers to pay them more for doing it.

Make Bernanke pay it all back out of his pocket and he won't be so free with the taxpayers money!!!!!!!!!

Some corps. pay no taxes while most do, and they are the one's usually struggling to survive.  In the first place corps. DO NOT PAY TAXES, its the consumers that those tax dollars are passed onto. They the corp. treat it as any other expense, such as electricity cost.  The losers are us the consumers. Companies in this country pay the highest tax in the world.  Sending jobs overseas  or making our products costlier.  Remember its the consume that pays those taxes in the products. that we buy.

If corporations were free of taxes, they could expand, hire more people, pay their employees more.which in turn would generate more tax dollars for the gov.

Here's the problem.  Business and government are in bed together.  It started with Regan when he "downsized" government by outsourcing what had been government functions to private entities.  These private entities make campaign contributions to ensure that the government gravy keeps coming.  And the average taxpayer is generally forgotten.

A good example are college student loans.  The banks make over $1 billion a year to "administer"  the program.  Guess what?  The banks are against making any changes to the way student loans are administered. Certainly they have no incentive to make it run more efficiently.   And they can use the money they make off the program to contribute to both parties to make sure whoever is elected is sympathetic to their demands.

At one time it was only military industrial complex that was growing out of control.  Now it's corporate America.  These are the same people who say they are part of the "I did it myself" club.

There is no discussion of this of course.  Stupid taxpayers fight about which party is better when they are all part of the same corrupt system.
