I do believe (as many do in the Democratic party) that he believes in wealth redistribution and although says he doesn't he doesn't believe in putting a penalty on 'those that can afford more' I think he really does not mind it at all. In his (and others minds) its OK to take away from those that have worked hard to make their money (or those fortunate enough to have someone else in there lives that did) as long as it is to help the poor or some other group he wants to help. I personally think that is what charities are for and that we would all pay less if we paid a flat tax. I digress and this topic is one that really should e handled offline or in another forum.

I hope that bottom line is a joke. Glen Beck is a raving lunatic R-tard... Who in their right mind can watch this guy and think, "yeah he's totally right." instead of what most think... "holy crap who gave this moron air time?"

Judge Andrew Napolitano's Freedom Watch and John Stossel's show Stossel on Fox Business Channel (or http://patriotsnetwork.com streaming) are much better choices than Beck. Beck is 1/2 phony neocon and 1/2 libertarian pretender -- he used to attack Ron Paul -- Beck cannot be trusted, but does occasionally have some good content.

Yes -- End the Fed!

There is only one major political party in the US -- the big government party. We need libertarians for smaller government.

People need to realize it takes three to tango. The President and Congress (House and Senate).

Within those three entities there are people who are affiliated with political parties. Each person and party have been bought by big business. So let's all not kid ourselves. Point a finger at who you want. Blame whomever for us being here. I'll start with George Washington if it makes everyone feel better. Fingers can be pointed at everyone including myself.

Let's get smart about this and correct the situation before it really gets bad.

I will admit that Facebook showing up has me perplexed.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall for this meeting. This would have to be one of the shortest discussions in the history of the world.

What nonsense -- those jobs are there because of the cost of labor is inexpensive and would not be done here, because bozo Americans think government should set a "minimum wage", which CAUSES UNEMPLOYMENT! Economics 101.

Making $250K a year is hardly rich. I will admit it is a nice salary by most any standard but this crapola about being rich - come on now? At least back in the day when we said rich we were talking about millionaires (and today more like multi-millionaires) but a quarter of a million a year is hardly being rich. I will give in to upper middle but hardly rich.

The bailouts are unconstitutional, and theft from the American people -- anti-American for sure, and anything that causes inflation (bailouts) IS anti-business.

Enough is enough, the welfare (transfer payments) politicians need to GO!

I mean come on, social security is a bigger Ponzi scheme than what Bernie Madoff came up with -- and it's somehow "ok" for government to continue it?! What a joke We The People have become -- never holding public servants accountable!

MORE NONSENSE. 36% of 2011 Federal Spending (est.) is JUST Transfer Payments, and 17% is Discretionary spending -- that is NOT infrastructure. You think you can SPEND MORE and not cut out that unconstitutional spending?! Do you have any idea what the US debt is and what it will be in 10 years under Obama's plan? Financial ruin for generations to become debt slaves!

You do realize NO Federal spending should ever be made on education -- it's unconstitutional. This is for the States and the People -- better study up on the Constitution...

Investments and R&D are for companies to make, not steal it from We The People and transfer the money to corporations and institutions. To pretend that no advances will occur w/out Fed. Gov. spending is total nonsense. Just look at what Burt Rutan's Scaled Composites did with Spaceship One and now Virgin Galactic -- private space flight. What a joke. Go donate your check to government if you want THEM to redistribute YOUR money, and stop forcing the rest of us to fund YOUR sacred cows!

Educate yourself, and watch THIS episode!:

And to be competitive in a world economy we should obviously stop funding schools and public education. Lets all keep all our money for ourselves. Lets stay dependent on oil and make zero investments in R&D, because I mean who needs computers, telecommunications, the Internet, satellites, and the majority of advances funded by our government.

Umm, the "Constitution Party" is a little mis-named -- they have advocated the return of public stonings, and are highly religious-bent!

No, I am more of a libertarian -- for freedom on personal and economic matters.

Obama has no clue -- he wants Obamacare which is flagrantly unconstitutional. The solution is LESS, NOT MORE government involvement.

This is a very business-unfriendly environment due to the substantially increased government interference in our lives and regulation. Government NEVER creates wealth, it ONLY consumes wealth.

I am convinced Obama is just a cog in the machine to lower the standard of living in this nation, and that is toward the effort of new world order types. They would create an EU style system in the Americas and eventually try to combine all those conglomerations to further centralize power. Very dangerous to liberty -- no American should desire this.

The right in this country tars Obama with the label "socialist." Their Exhibit A is the insurance reform he got passed. But it is hard for them to explain how Obama's use of the ideas of Senator Dole and Governor Romney in putting this package together is "socialist," while those two aren't. It is easy for them to make him an "other" because of his race.

Short of tearing out the convoluted tax code and replacing it with a fairer flat tax, all Obama is going to hear is some version of 'get out of the way.'

Lower taxes, less regulation and smaller govt. are the direction we should be heading, not the reverse.

Obama wants to be like Reagan and thinks it's all about the proper wording in his speeches. It's not. It's about the power of great ideas.

I love this quote from Obama:

"I think its fair to say the Republicans were the party of ideas for a pretty long chunk of time there over the last ten, fifteen years, in the sense that they were challenging conventional wisdom."

Lots of opinions here - very little intelligence ...

One subject sure to be discussed in this meeting is how U.S. companies can repatriate some $1 trillion in overseas earnings without some kind of break on punitive U.S. taxes.

No, you coming from a misplaced center. What is now the so called right was the center just a few years ago. When the left came a long they identified the center as such. Now any movement from the "right" to a misplaced center is actually a political push to the left. No one wants to come across as being considered "far-right", right?

Thankfully people are starting to wake-up to this old trick and calling a turd a turd. That's why there is such a strong push against policies such as government run healthcare, social security, department of education, and multiple out of control spending.

As for Dole and Romney, they too are part of the problem. At no point should Romney be considered a presidential candidate until he admits what a disaster his healthcare plan turned out to be. He's another "pretty face" making the same mistakes as the guy now in office...

You don't see competition as a potential driver of technological advancement? Developing new tech to get ahead of the competition should be an easy correlation for anyone who frequents this site.

It stands to reason that if healthcare had been a vigorous free market these past decades Steve might have his cure by now.

Sorry, I'm not lying. They may only make the equivalent of $299 per year, but at least they're thankful for having a job.

You mention their wage but fail to mention their commensurate cost of living.


Just stating their wage doesn't take into account their way of life or accepted standard of living.

I'm referring to their work ethic in comparison to ours, so don't try to change the subject. The fact that they produce such quality, in such volume, for such a small wage just bolsters my statement. They're thankful for working and take pride in their work. All things equal, it would be a rare instance to find an American that would do the same.

Again, I'm not slamming my country, I'm simply stating the fact that our attitude sucks because we feel entitled to earn a premium wage but feel we're not required to provide, in return, the equivalent in productivity.

You must be an employee.

I think that's where we have lost our way to be honest, we don't appreciate what rich is.

I make just shy of $250k per year, and even living in the Bay Area as far as I am concerned I am rich.

Why do I say that? Because if you earn over $100,000 per year, you are in the top 7% of earners, in the US - that's rich.

If you earn $250k, you earn six times the median average - that's rich.

And by the way, I would willingly pay more tax. It is not right that because I own two expensive homes that I can have tax writeoffs that allow me to pay a lower percentage of my earnings as tax than someone who earns far less than me.

It all depends what you feel your standard of living should be. Earning $250k a year makes one a top 5% wage earner in the US. While one may not be swimming in dough, it makes for quite a comfortable living if one spends it wisely.

In theory all of the partisan political blather should be confined to the political forum, but in practice it frequently boils over into other discussions, and unfortunately the mods don't make much of an effort to shut it down. This is the rare time when posters who are almost never seen participating in any discussion outside of the political forum turn up to pollute other threads.
