they probably dont understand what they are saying just make sure they dont repeat that somewhere that it may be considered offensive

If you were my child, I would ground you and take away your iPod for letting your little brothers listen to that. Heck, YOU shouldn't even be listening to that! It is NOT funny to promote looting and beating up women, especially to children. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I don't believe you even have a baby brother, but mummy should really take away your internet access until you grow up a bit. Sixteen? Don't be ridiculous. I guess a _really_ immature 12 year old might find that funny.

So, what is so wrong with Protectionism?
So, what is so wrong with Protectionism?
Look at the tag on your shirt..where was it made?Mine says China... Now grab an office supply,got some envelopes here..says Indonesia... you can do this with just about anything in your house..So until somebody gets up and says 'HEY we are not going to trade with Countires who pay slave wages too not only protect them and their human rights for a fair living wage,but also too protect the jobs in the USA" the jobs are not coming back...Sure you can buy shirts at Walmart for 8 bucks,but wouldn't you rather pay 15 and an American be paid 15 too 20 bucks for the work? Lets but it this way when China send a product too us too buy they pay a small import tax ,compared too what it would cost an American company too make it. Thus those "tax breaks" we are giving out are going back too big business, too do more big business in China.Not here Not until we find a President who is willing too protect us,aka Protectionism, are we ever going too get our jobs back.If we do that those of us who can not or did not go too College can make a living wage.This also will bring the entitlement programs under control and save future generations SS and Medicare. With more tax payers also comes a balanced budget and enough money too start paying the Deficit ,that is now at 1.4 trillion dollars down... Capitalism works if the Goverment is willing too protect it's people. I believe in free trade through out the states, however when it comes too trading with different Countires there should be rules and regulations too protect the American Citizens,big or small best intrest... I have yet too hear a talking head from the Republican side or Democratic side bring this up... Wonder why? Sure there would be inflation of food and other supplies but as fast as it is going up,Our job market will be opening up too with New permanentreal jobs, not shovel ready jobs that will end.We will also be able too get rid of the farm subsidy because they will be able to get a fair price in our market place for their goods. So there you have it...I just cut the deficit,created at least 9 million jobs, made tax payers,cut or dependance on entitlement programs and a good possibility of saving SS and Medicare for future generations. Would also be a good chance too not be number 1 in the World with the highest Corp Tax Rate.. This too would create jobs.. So is it just the fact we may have too wait for an American Phone Company or TV company too get up and going?That we may have inflation for a year or so before companies get the product out at a steady pace?Or is it the fact that they really simply don't care about us and care more about the rest of the World Market...All I see is fat cats that live here with business in other Countires getting richer and richer and the middle class and lower class getting poorer and poorer.They are not creating jobs here..Am I missing something? In the 90's before Nafta and Gatt there where over 200 tomato farmers in Florida in 2000 there where 16...How many jobs where lost their alone?

protectionism was tried at the outset of 'the great depression'...which made things worse! we increased tariffs on imports, and our 'trading partners' raised tariffs on imports from us. getting the corporate tax rate back in line would help our companies be more competitive, would create jobs here, and would eliminate current incentives for companies to move overseas i keep hearing that 'we need to raise taxes'...which makes ZERO sense. the other day, we were putting in a new conference table in our training room-it was very heavy, and there were only 2 people trying to carry it. rather than expect those 2 people to do all the lifting while others who would also be making use of the table just stood around watching, we found 4 more people to lend a hand and the job was much easier. tax policy needs to be like that- we don't need to be making those who already pay most of the taxes already pay even more; we need to expand the tax base so more people have 'skin in the game'

Why does President Obama think that the rich?
Why does President Obama think that the rich?
should have to give a little more just because they have more money? How is that fair? If I was rich, I would not want to give more and more. All it does is goes to fuel the irresponsible spending down there on Captiol Hill anyway. Why bother? Once they raise your taxes, they're never going to cut them again. They'll just find other ways to spend the money to get a reason to keep taxing you. It is not fair. The rich already pay their fair share in taxes anyway. They may pay a fewer number of taxes, but they certainly pay a larger amount. I'm not saying give them cuts, but I think it's unfair to make them pay more. I mean is this just the typical liberal mindset though? Steal from the rich? I wonder if Obama grew up on the poor or rich side of Chicago. Oh yeah that's right, he grew up in Indonesia where they hated America and wealth.

Who said we have the rich being taxed higher than the rest of the world. Ever wonder why millionaires from Britain sometimes come to reside here in the states? Ever really thought about how the "trickle-down" policy of supposedly letting the rich receive less tax debits than the middle-class helps them stimulate the economy. Funny how, we are actually paying less taxes during this Administration than the individuals were in teh 70's. If I earned 5 million, I would think it is fair to get taxed the same as a middle class, or a percentage higher. I find it a patriotic act. Funny how you haven't seen all the tax deductions they get from as little as donating clothes (and stating they paid a price for it, when in truth it was on sale, therefore getting higher tax returns for it), car purchases, vacations due to job, apr on cards, mortgages, etc... all of these items if entered in a long-form income tax return gets a credit to the millionaire that indicates that after all the debits, and credits, the rich pay quite a small amount of taxes. Bottom-line, while we the middle-class got laid off from corporations due to streamlining and automation. Lost all of our future net worth in the stock market. And lost ourselves along the way, the rich only have lost a fraction and can always recoup the funds. They have not done anything to help us in the current crises by creating jobs, or businesses. Have been spending a considerable amount in luxury goods, though out of "look" have stopped spending because they would look inconsiderate. Funny how highly we hold the rich in society, when many individuals have tried and struggled to make a living working 40 and 60 hours yet can not earn the same as one of those CEOs and yet you value them like scum.

Rich people have lots more ways of hiding their income than you do. They qualify for many, many, more deductions than you or I, and as a result will ALWAYS pay less than you or I as a percent of their earnings. What i'm wondering is why you feel so sorry for them. The disparity between rich and poor has widened exponentially in the last ten years. Theyre doing allright.
