No Wipeout Hotties but Raise The Debt Ceiling Rap wins
Lindsey “Party Animal” Glick and Patricia “Bee Keeper” Garza didn’t make the final 3 on Wipeout‘s last new episode so unfortunately there were no Wipeout Hotties for that episode. However, while we all enjoy being entertained with Wipeout and find relief that the NFL Football lockout has ended, Republican politicians in Washington are having fun playing brinkmanship at the expense of the U.S.A.’s credit rating. Is it not amazing how the wealthy and big corporations have had tax cuts for the last 11 years and yet NO JOBS have been created over that same time but there have been LAYOFFS aplenty with jobs going overseas? Just as amazing that GE Corp. paid 0$ in taxes for 2010?
As found in Twitter yesterday from a person sending a tweet to one of the idiot House representatives who is proud of the stalemate: “When someone is supposed to pay 25% for taxes but uses loopholes to pay < 5%, REMOVING loopholes ISN’T INCREASING TAXES”. But the comedy doesn’t stop there, when the person also tweeted: “Here’s how a TAX INCREASE works: initially pay 25% in tax but then ADD 10% to that 25% which = 35% tax which is [a] TAX INCREASE”. Wow! A Representative from the House really needs to be told the difference between a tax increase and closing loopholes? Yes, obviously they do when time and again rhetoric is used that makes it sound as though taxes are being raised when in reality the President is wanting wealthy and big corporations to pay 100% of their tax rate instead of finding ways to pay 0$ like GE.
Here is the prediction: If a deal isn’t reached that absolutely handles the debt (not put it off until later), then we will spiral to something like 1988. Yes, 1988. Remember the gang problems? Remember the urban decay? Remember the beginning of a recession? Remember how high the interest rates were? It will get rough really quick to the point that the U.S. will go from fighting foreign wars to fighting armed drug cartels in Mexico and the Southwest U.S. Gangs will grow exponentially because people will become desperate enough to join a gang to steal what they need as well as lash out at perceived “rich people”. The only relief will come in 2012 when all House Republicans are voted out of office and the RNC finally closes the door on extremists from the Tea [bag] Party.
On a lighter note, Remy was kind enough to get the word out that that no deal is needed, just raise the debt ceiling now:
First things first, the USA is not a free market system where tax cuts would stimulate competition,less consumer cost,more jobs..etc etc.The USA is a fascist nation.You don’t believe me?Since the mid-late 1800′s the USA government has steered businesses and the economic/societal system into a soft tyranny fascism using regulation (laws) and reward(welfare,tax incentives,the list is endless.) Case in point GE was a big donator to George W Obama,oops did I get them confused.To say a business paid zero taxes is an outright lie, what tax or taxes are you claiming GE didn’t pay,you don’t know and I know that. Those evil corporations pay for regulations(or lack of,remember fascist) and taxes on every level of business from initial start up taxes through production, buying and selling and so on. Most corporations are small mom and pop style,most any one can incorporate and call themselves a corporation. As long as the USA pays its interest on the debt it wont and could not default and to the credit rating being lowered,well it already was by a lessor known than Moody”s.So the planed society and the merger of government and business has anew begun a dismal despotic existence for the people of Earth.
Explain the thought proses that lead you to such an uneducated weak argument.
Actuality, explain the arrogance that gives you the sense of any knowledge and understanding whatsoever.
Being that you are a docile domesticated animal I think you should go back to the zoo and let the enlightened free thinking human species handle this one.
This is a great comment just to prove you aren’t an American citizen, don’t know English very well, and, besides being uninformed, also are very impolite and misguided. “The USA government” really? That is very poor English usage. Alright, first check the definition of “fascist”: a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism. There has been no aggressive nationalism from the time period you give nor has there been a dictator (nor an implied dictator) from 1850 to present day. Further, Women’s Suffrage, the New Deal and Civil Rights Acts already undermine what ever point you are sophomorically trying to make.
GE paying 0% in taxes for 2010: I’m going to assume you know how to read and comprehend print information beyond a fourth grade level (or ESL 6th grade level), so I give this one link–one of MANY respected news agencies THAT CAN BE FOUND THROUGH GOOGLE– that does support my statement about GE paying 0% taxes for 2010 at http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/25/business/economy/25tax.html?pagewanted=all . So here’s where the laughing continues when you state “what tax or taxes are you claiming GE didn’t pay, you don’t know and I know that”–it would seem you are the jack-ass for not following national news or staying current with events through other news media. Also, news media doesn’t give us information for us to believe blindly but allows us to be informed to the point of making sound informed decisions or formulate informed opinions. Based on your incorrect assumption, I do know but you didn’t know that, nor did you know the facts as seen by your request to know “what tax”.
Only one finance company has lowered the credit rating and that very small finance company is in China. Since you perhaps never heard of an invention called the Internet and don’t know how to use Google, here is the article and news story http://www.cnn.com/2011/BUSINESS/08/02/china.us.rating/ . Perhaps you dropped out of school before 4th grade or your ESL program isn’t very good but “So the planed society and the merger of government and business has anew begun a dismal despotic existence for the people of Earth” DOESN’T make a bit of sense–it is pure non-sense, so much so that statement will be used in a college course to show faulty logic and the inability to effectively communicate. “Planed”, as in a line, or “planned” and what planned society and the merger of government and business mean? “anew”? when did whatever it is you refer to first stop and restart?
“Explain the thought proses that lead you to such an uneducated weak argument”–I don’t have any prose to share but I have a PROCESS called critical thinking. Obviously, unlike you, I have proven where I did get my information that helped develop my stance on the topic of raising the debt ceiling; also, I exposed how uninformed you are.
“Being that you are a docile domesticated animal I think you should go back to the zoo”. What zoo do you go to that you see humans in cages? Besides “docile” and “domesticated” in reference to an animal is redundant (wow, did you get your education via online?), if I am an animal that has paws or hooves, then how is it I can type a blog and coherently get points across in response to someone as dysfunctional as you? Did you discover the world’s first smart dog or cat or horse or what ever animals you see at your “special” zoo? Here, let me help you: I’m not a domestic animal nor a wild one, just a human being who has more sense and knowledge than you apparently have shown in all its extreme conservatism and racist ideology as given to you (and you blindly follow) by Glen Beck and his ilk. Oh, and if I used big “animal” words that you don’t understand, go to http://www.dictionary.com and look them up. Where are your facts? Please don’t run off to who ever you claim to be your extremist conservative prophet to think for you, though reconsidering a better GED program might be a good start.
The American people and its (USA government–a funny reference pointing at you, ha ha) government will handle “this one”, not the likes of you obviously.
