It has increased to slightly above $15 trillion."<br /><br />That is 5 trillion in less than four years.

What he did was add a tax to small business and the middle class to pay for obamacare, remember he said there will be no tax increase to pay for obamacare.<br /><br />The best way to increase revenue is to spur job growth but the incompetent incumbent can only propose taxing the rich and small business, his plan is working great.<br /><br />Now that obama has a record of non-accomplishments he has to run on that record. Tough to create jobs in the private sector, even though the private sector is doing fine, when you have never had one. skudrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610092853412481236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-83099567178035589622012-08-30T17:23:04.291-06:002012-08-30T17:23:04.291-06:00Liberalmann, that crap that you're posting all...Liberalmann, that crap that you're posting all over the internet is just not getting to us.

This doctrine in turn forms the basis for legal recognition that corporations, as groups of people, may hold and exercise certain rights under the common law and the U.S. Constitution. The doctrine does not hold that corporations are "people" in the literal sense, nor does it grant to corporations all of the rights of citizens. However, as interpreted by the the US Supreme Court, the doctrine provides corporations the right to secretly and with some limits - fund political campaigns.</i>Thersiteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15751286903359745316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-63284259734313219992012-08-30T17:17:04.991-06:002012-08-30T17:17:04.991-06:00bind him by the chains of the Constitution...

The right just embraces them.<br /><br />6 Worst Lies In Paul Ryan’s Speech<br /><br />By Aviva Shen on Aug 30, 2012 at 9:36 am<br /><br />Vice presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) is taking flack on the morning news shows for his keynote address at the Republican National Convention Wednesday night. His speech was riddled with false claims, so much so that even Fox News wrote, “To anyone paying the slightest bit of attention to facts, Ryan’s speech was an apparent attempt to set the world record for the greatest number of blatant lies and misrepresentations slipped into a single political speech.”<br /><br />Here are the most glaring lies from his speech:<br /><br />1. “A downgraded America.” Ryan blamed the president for the nation’s credit downgrade in August 2011 after Republicans threatened to allow the government to default on its debt for the first time in history. But the ratings agency explicitly blamed “Republicans saying that they refuse to accept any tax increases as part of a larger deal.”<br /><br />2. “More debt than any other president before him, and more than all the troubled governments of Europe combined.” Romney has made the almost identical claim, that Obama has amassed more debt “as almost all of the other presidents combined.” But their math doesn’t add up: when Obama took office, the national debt was $10.626 trillion. It has increased to slightly above $15 trillion.<br /><br />3. Shuttered General Motors plant is “one more broken promise.” Ryan described a GM plant that closed down in his hometown, Janesville, Wisconsin, and blamed Obama for breaking his promise to keep the plant open when he visited during his campaign. But Obama never made that promise, and the plant shut down in December 2008, before Obama even took office.<br /><br />4. Obama “did exactly nothing” on Bowles-Simpson. Ryan said, “He created a bipartisan debt commission. They came back with an urgent report. He thanked them, sent them on their way, and then did exactly nothing.” In fact, Ryan was instrumental in sabotaging the commission, leading the other House Republicans in voting against the plan.<br /><br />5. “$716 billion, funneled out of Medicare by President Obama.” Ryan’s favorite lie is a deliberate distortion of Obamacare’s savings from eliminating inefficiencies. Furthermore, Ryan’s own plan for Medicare includes these savings. Romney has vowed to restore these cuts, which would render the trust fund insolvent 8 years ahead of schedule.<br /><br />6. “The greatest of all responsibilities is that of the strong to protect the weak.” Ryan closed the speech with an invocation of social responsibility, saying, “The truest measure of any society is how it treats those who cannot defend or care for themselves.” However, numerous clergy members have condemned Ryan’s budget plan as “cruel,” and “an immoral disaster” because of its devastating cuts in social programs the poor and sick rely on. Meanwhile, Ryan would give ultra-rich individuals and corporations $3 trillion in tax breaks.Liberalmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612454539046863752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-71101755298356834522012-08-30T16:41:47.182-06:002012-08-30T16:41:47.182-06:00”Tuesday night after rising GOP star Mia Love brou...<i>”Tuesday night after rising GOP star Mia Love brought down the house with her inspiring convention speech, the stomach-turning Left labeled the black conservative a “token” and an “Aunt Tom.<br /><br />“Meanwhile, revoltingly racist, woman-hating Wikipedia vandals were hard at work updating her entry with disgusting slurs like “House Nigger” and “dirty, worthless whore.” The page called her a “total sell-out to the Right Wing Hate machine and the greedy bigots who control the GOP.”</i> —Washington Times<br /><br />Wikipedia repaired most of the vandalism by now; it should never have happened in the first place.

If you try and compete with one, you WILL be crushed.<br /><br />... because YOU have to pay income taxes ... and they don't."</i><br /><br />I don't believe it is as simple as that, Thersites. I don't FEEL threatened by corporations -- certainly not as I do by government who has he power not only TOB me, but to cart me off to JAIL without due process if they decide I might be a "threat" -- or even just an annoyance. <br /><br />Anyway, I COVERED your point pretty well when I said:<br /><br /><br /><i><b>"No matter what those in power may choose to are CALL it, our enemy is TYRANNY. It must be fought and demolished WHEREVER it surfaces -- Government, Corporate Power, the Church or Foreign Aggressors."</b></i><br /><br /><br /><i><b>"Those who expect to reap the blessing of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it."</b></i><br /><br />~ Thomas Paine (1737-1809)<br /><br /><br />There are problems, deficiencies and injustice in ANY system yet devised. <br /><br />The fact remains that SOMEONE has to be in charge. Eventually the very power of simply <i>being</i> in charge WILL corrupt that "someone," ergo periodically we must replace "someone" with "someone <i>else</i>."<br /><br />HEAR the WORD of a GREAT SAGE: <br /><br /><br /><i> "It would be a dangerous delusion were a confidence in the men of our choice to silence our fears for the safety of our rights: that confidence is everywhere the parent of despotism – free government is founded on jealousy, and not in confidence which prescribes limited constitutions . . . In questions of power then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him from mischief by the chains of the Constitution."</i><br /><br /><br /><i>"What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."</i><br /><br /><br /><i>“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.”</i><br /><br />~ Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)<br /><br />I would never deny this: The MARRIAGE between gigantic, multinational corporations and increasingly dictatorial forms of government power truly IS assuming a position that will enable these forces to from an OLIGARCHY that has the entire world under its control.<br /><br />Those who control NATURAL RESOURCES, the "COMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY" and the MONEY SUPPLY are our true masters. The rest is largely a Punch and Judy Show put on to distract the masses (that's us) from learning who the TRUE villains are in the piece.<br /><br />I've seen that for forty years -- before it began to become "fashionable" to see it.<br /><br />HOWEVER, of all the unattractive alternatives before us in the world of REALPOLITIK -- the ONLY reality in that dreary realm -- what the Republicans currently offer is considerably less unappealing than their nearest competitors. <br /><br />Right NOW we ought to focus with LASER-LIKE INTENSITY on ONE goal alone:<br /><br /><b>GET <i>RID</i> of BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.</b><br /><br />~ FreeThinke<br /><br /><br /><br />FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-4213366752829386272012-08-30T15:32:48.113-06:002012-08-30T15:32:48.113-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.skudrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610092853412481236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-88512342311749316942012-08-30T15:27:16.805-06:002012-08-30T15:27:16.805-06:00I couldn't stop cheering the whole night!
