You know, when I first came here in 1976 I think was under the impression that if you talk about welfare you're talkin about those people who won’t work and get foodstamps. But I have a completely different opinion now: that exists and it’s not healthy, but that’s minor compared to the “foodstamps” that the wealthy get.

Ron Paul is just being silly
The mega billionaires and CEO's that make 200 times more than the average worker need those tax breaks and bonuses to keep hiring people.
Unemployment is at a record low, and if we raise taxes it's just going to make them stop hiring people.
Do we really want to go back to the hell hole that Clinton created during the 90's with his high taxes?edit on 12/3/2012 by muse7 because: (no reason given)

“We’re going to have to raise taxes on very, very rich people. The evidence is that there is no clear connection between the level of taxation and the level of economic activity. The biggest growth and prosperity we’ve ever had in this country was from roughly 1941 to 1973. That was the best years we’ve ever had and those were years of much higher taxes than we have now." - Ben Stein

Ron Paul needs to advocate for universal Medicare. If we'd have it like the rest of the civilized industrialized world then our jobs would stay here instead of going to Asia. And we'd be spending far less on medicaid as well as food stamps because businesses would hire more because they wouldn't have to think about healthcare or dodging healthcare mandates.
Speaking of jobs and Asia - we need to reform the tax code for businesses so that we apply windfall taxes or even suspend the corporation charter for corporations that reduced more than 10% of the US workforce AND added more than 10% workers anywhere not in the US - during the past 5 years. The only way they could be absolved of this surtax would be for them to bring back those 10% of jobs within the next year - and they would have to use ALL that money that they get to keep for hiring those people back in the US. Corporations are making record profits with Asian slave labor and sitting on record cash income in overseas accounts waiting for a tax holiday. We need to stop this corporate welfare!
Haha good joke, will never happen!
