1%'s currently pay around 37% in taxes and if they were taxed 100% it would not even put a dent in our deficit. The past few stimulus's have been a complete failure and the only ones that benefited from it was the unions. And those unions contributed to Obama's re-election campaign.
You mean the unions that have had to lay off teachers, cops and firefighters across the country? Or the unions that had to make members pay for their own pensions and health care because their investments were eviscerated by Wall Street? Or was it the unions that lost their collective bargaining rights?
I didn't know that investment bankers had a union.
So the stimulus money went to unions, which supported Obama. What a surprise ! Isn`t that the Chicago way ? I just hate seeing all that money coming out of my paycheck just to pay crocked politicians.
Also to pay for immigrants.
All politicians are crooks and they should all be removed and start over fresh. With all the reality shows they should have one that is "who wants to be a politician" or "who wants to be president" The average joe off the street would probably do better than these clowns do
