We're sitting on millions of acres of valuable land, sell some of that. Who in the hell is going to pay back the trillion dollars? How about starting w/the mare in Cali who saw fit to have 8 kids on top of 6 already with no means of support other than the goverment. Less Government not more is the answer I'd like to hear.

Yeah, she decided to have octuplets. LOL. And it's the poor people who are draining this country. Blah blah blah.

Three weeks people. Three weeks. Take a breath.

Your right in truth she wanted only six. And you discovered the long held Republican secret that rich people don't pay taxes and have their help subsidized under the 'American Maid, Butler and Nanny act' Shhhh

Yes Joe it is actually the poor people who are draining the country. Maybe you are finally getting it.

Poor people dont create income, they spend it. You may take this as insensitive but the truth is that the top pays for the bottom in spite of the rhetoric.

that's true. i shook my head when reading about the tax credit that is even to be passed on to those who pay no tax. earned income credit does the same. getting back more in taxes than you paid is some kind of racket.

It's called the carrot on the stick!

The latest data show that a big portion of the federal income tax burden is shoul*dered by a small group of the very richest Americans. The wealthiest 1 percent of the population earn 19 per*cent of the income but pay 37 percent of the income tax. The top 10 percent pay 68 percent of the tab. Meanwhile, the bottom 50 percent—those below the median income level—now earn 13 percent of the income but pay just 3 percent of the taxes. These are proportions of the income tax alone and don’t include payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare.

Well, rich people always want a poor group around to get cheap labor from. I'd say rich people do use poor people to create income(for rich people.) See, Europe had their number of poor people under control, and had the Gov't services etc. to have a decent basic standard of living there(what a lot of you would call Socialism.) That didn't make the rich happy. So, they started importing poor people to make money off of. They are gunna wish they hadn't been so stupid n' greedy. You can change circumstance with resources, but you are gunna have a very difficult time changing one's flawed culture with it.
