Oh, God forbid that corporate welfare which is businesses keeping more of what they earn is allowed in this country.

Uhmmm a lot of that money comes from the taxpayer. For example what one single entity do you think is the oil companies number one customer?

I'll give you a hint it is not your next door neighbor.

Which oil company do people who don't drive help? Oil Companies keeping more of what they earn do what with the money and how does that hurt the economy?

Great so you want them to keep more of the tax payers money.

That doesn't answer the question, what money is people who don't drive give to the Oil Companies, and what do Oil Companies do with the money they do collect from their customers. Too bad you don't seem to expect the same accountability for how our govt. spends taxpayer dollars.

Does a company's profits belong to the company that earned them, or to the so called tax payer, in the form of the State?

They record record profits.

Okay if say so. I'm a little pissed though that another corporation has been taking a 100 million dollars per plane that can not even be used in combat......I guess they need a tax break to make the ****ijng work.:roll:

Where did your profits go from your business? That is a stupid argument, profits aren't bad and I don't care what they made, why do you? What justifies the Federal govt. spending 3.7 trillion dollars a year

Interesting that you worry about how much an oil company makes but never explain where you think that money goes and how it affects the economy? I asked you what you did with your profits as I never was concerned how much you made.

You think that the taxes you pay on gasoline goes to the oil companies? Were the sales taxes you collected in your business your money?

I'll ask again since you seem to be avoiding the question.

How much of a company's profit belongs to the company that generated that profit?

So the stimulus did what it was supposed to do, keep unemployment at 8% or below?

Yes, it did what it was supposed to do, which was to reduce unemployment by several million and give a significant boost to GDP.

As we've gone over several times, initial estimates of the strength of the recession were overly optimistic. Recall that the administration forecast unemployment just a little over 9% even WITHOUT the stimulus.

Interesting, have you taken your "theory" to the Bureau of Labor Statistics since thay don't show those numbers and don't recognize jobs saved. Wonder what Obama was doing collecting a paycheck as a Senator that he wouldn't recognize how bad things were and allowed his Administration officials to make the bogus claim about 8%?

A 1980 video? This the best you can do?

A 1980 video of Paul Weyrich is excellent evidence. Perhaps you are not aware of one of the Founding Fathers of current Ring Wing Extremism? Weyrich is both a founder of the Heritage Foundation and the American Legislative Exchange Council - ALEC. Both are among the most influential and opinion molding organizations on the right that currently exist and wield power in America. He may have given that speech a few decades ago but his influence lingers on like a rotting corpse not properly buried deep enough underground.

It would be hard pressed to come up with five people more influential in turning portions of this nation to the far right than Paul Weyrich. The beliefs he espoused in that speech were a foundation for GOP thought and are most definitely as alive and well today as his demon seed children of the Heritage Foundation and ALEC.

Lord forbid that we have a group of people questioning the 3.7 trillion dollar spending spree that Congress is on and the 14.6 trillion dollar debt that taxpayers are now funding. How do you justify that kind of spending

People sometimes ask hard questions at townhalls....

WOMAN: When the Bush tax cuts took effect in 2003 the unemployment rate was 6.2 percent. Now, in the ninth year of those cuts, the unemployment rate is 9.2 percent, so where is the evidence that these cuts for the most affluent actually create jobs? [...]

(Audience applauds)

HULTGREN: I think clearly the evidence, uh, well, let me say this. I get back to the stimulus, which was another thing which –

MAN: We want the tax cuts?

WOMAN: Where’s the evidence?

ANOTHER WOMAN: Where are the jobs?

HULTGREN: Good question. Let’s keep goin’. We got three minutes.

(MULTIPLE AUDIENCE MEMBERS): No answer! [...]

HULTGREN: I believe we’ve got a tax system that discourages productivity. We have to adjust that. It has to be flatter. [...] Not too long ago we raised taxes in Illinois, just in the past eight months, they already told us they spent all that money. [...] My evidence is Illinois being the number one job creator for Indiana, Iowa.

I assume that you and your wife are sending your Bush tax cut back when you receive your paycheck? What you fail to recognize as usual is that the unemployment rate dropped from 2003-2007 and then the financial crisis that had nothing to do with the tax cuts. Obama took office and made things worse by negatiing the benefits of the tax cuts with increased regulations, obamacare, and the threat of higher taxes on business.

Latest polls on the 2012 election from gallup showing Obama vs. the various Republican candidates. No wonder Obama is getting scared and turning to the politics of personal destruction.

It's the same "theory" you were once repeating here ...

"Don't you just love the Obama results? 15 million unemployed, 3.5 trillion added to the debt, 821 billion stimulus program that created or "saved" jobs that cost the taxpayer $228,000 each. Those are the results "your" President generated and why he got shellacked in 2010." ~ Conservative

Even you once claimed the results of Obama's stimulus saved/created 3.5 million jobs.

You need to become the Obama campaign manager as he seems to need it. Amazing how Obama is doing such a good job that his approval rating is in the low 40% and now he is being beaten by Romney, tied with Perry, and close to Bachmann and Paul. Looks like the public isn't buying those positive Obama results that you keep claiming
