They are going to tax the use of the internet ---

why not tax stock market transactions as most stocks are held for less than 1 sec on average this would generate trillions of dollars for the government.

at $10 a transaction the over 2 billion stock transactions would generate $20 billion a day times 365 or about $7 trillion a year.

More than enough to erase the deficit and build up a surplus so medicare and S.S. do not go bankrupt.

They tax us everytime we buy something

Why not the stock market?

It's a revenue stream that needs to be taxed.

It would mean saving our futures.

Tumbleweed,

Can we see Obama's College transcripts. I understand he received financial aid as a foreign exchange student and citizen of Indonesia named Barry Soetoro . When he passed the Bar exam in Chicago, he answered no to the question , have you ever indentified yourself by any other name?

The minimum wage of today has not keep up with inflation since 1999. Since the 1950’s we have seen the minimum wage, which was a living wage at that time, become a non-living wage unable to support a middle class lifestyle. Families working near the lower salary ranges are now REQUIRED to have both mother and father work to create the middle class lifestyle that just one person working was able to provide before.

The average US median family earning continues to fall and the middle class has shrank by about 10% since the beginning of the recession, becoming part of the lower class and swelling the ranks of the poor and straining social programs.

If conservatives truly value family values, they should be complaining about the loss of income where one worker used to be able to support the family and not have to rely on government support like tax credits, school lunch programs or subsidized child care to raise their children. We can either continue this path of paying workers less and less creating a society where the government takes over the role of parents (as is happening now), or we can instead chose to have parents to watch over and help them in their studies and teach them about life values. If you wanted government to get out of our lives, which would you chose? To have us become merely baby makers and let society take care of them in all aspects, or real parents?

dON'T ALWAYS AGREE WITH OUR cOMPANIES, building up in Foreign lands..ie; Auto Mfg.

Some do it for savings,example: Apple.... Others for inroads to the Foreign consumer. And they are forced into those situations, or seem to be....Many have done it for the savings,we allow it.

Ford and GM are building plants in China, India and then maybe Russia, they already have facilities in Europe and Canada...And maybe other parts of the Americas??  Did not check all locations...

Having to build in the Major Countries, "in order to sell their products there."

Funny that you would fault them for trying to make money for an American Co. and their stockholders.

I guess so soon we forget, that we let or forced Foreign manufactures to come here and build,

Selling their product of Toyotas,Hondas,Nissa​ns,BMWs, etc.

And then we also forget "you", the ones that won't buy an American "Big 3" Auto, for one stupid reason or another...?

And then we wonder why our car manufactures are building in other Countries. ??

You thought about "your" misgivings too late.
