No the system is broken and needs fixed by the people, all the American people!
Right, but it is a global system that needs fixing and requires more than just American cooperation
Indeed, the rich are in a much better position to defeat an indirect tax than most poor people are.

If we, the people, stopped buying some of their crappy things, they would be more careful in what they market. But if it glitters, its OK for the poor. An ATSer recently posted the idea that if we only went to buy gas at one company, the others would have no choice but to lower their prices.
He was right, but no one wants to do their part. It's called conditioning.

This government has made it clear that they will do nothing about illegals, going as far as to fight states who try to do something themselves.
There is a differance between people that come here illegally to take advantage and regular hard working people who struggle to put food on the table due to the greed of people in power.edit on 10-4-2011 by jstanthrno1 because: (no reason given)

No, Why should I pay for something that wasn't my mistake? I wasn't the one who crashed the economy with stupid choices to get more money. Also I work hard for my money, that money is my own. I'm not paying for the governments mistakes.
I have more money but I worked hard for it my family worked hard for it. I didn't step on/use the underprivileged but my family worked hard at their jobs. Not to mention my own father lost a lot of his money and respect from his work community by helping with a social housing project for a children's hospital. So For all of you who think all rich people are scum, think twice and realize your generalizations are uncalled for. Its like saying all poor people are lazy when in fact no they aren't.
So do you think I deserve to pay for the mistakes of others?

Reminds me of a game of monopoly years ago in which someone won nearly everything on the board --- and had to start giving back to the rest in order to keep the game going
