Close down about 100 useless US war bases in Europe leftover from the cold war, Europe alone is strong enough to deal with Russia, let them pay for it. I would place those bases along our southern border now that the Cartel controls over 50% of Mexico.
Folks, until banks and corporations are properly regulated to work for Americans we're headed for failure. Corporations don't care about taxes.
It doesn't matter how much they pay, they have enough tax shelters to cover it. They care about regulations or the lack of. The GOP wants less regulation which basically caused the last meltdown. Corporations again are making billions off taxpayers why most Americans suffer in the jobless recovery. Corporations are doing the same thing planning to make billions before the next meltdown, knowing they'll be bailed out once again by the tax dollar only to do it again and again.
I almost laugh when I hear the GOP say corporations pay most taxes. After their shelters they pay little. The average American making 50K a year pays almost 40% in total taxes, add them up, sales, gas, property. Almost every bill you get has several hidden taxes. Add SS and medicare, really a tax because most of us will never see it.
Sadly, their is now only one fix, as a herd weans out the weak, we will have to do the same so the strong and greedy can take us to the future, whatever that will be. SS and medicare will have to go, medical care for most, social programs, stop spending billions to keep the elderly alive a few more years, this will be the future.
