Corporate Tax elimination for one year. The corporate tax that was paid to the US Government was about $318B. This is less than the $800 Billion stimulus plan. But the key here is to close the loop holes that allow major corporations to avoid paying zero taxes. So for one year zero taxes but you must increase your staff by 25% or you do not get the tax break. You see in the same bill you remove the loop holes and so the companies that are not paying taxes have to hire people in order to not pay taxes.

The census states that 17000 companies in the US have 500 or more employees and employ 20 million people. Now if you take that number and take 25% of it you get 5 million people back to work.

So what happens the next year? You slowly raise the corporate tax rate to 5% then 10% and then 15% where it will stay. My understanding is that this is what a lot of European countries who we are in competition with have is a 15% corporate tax rate.

I have been wandering if SS and Medicare cuts only effected those making over $2m per year could they cut benefits completely for those people or make them pay what a normal billionaire healthcare plan would cost. Does anyone know how much money that will raise?

I was watching 60 minutes last night and I heard the President of Brazil say something that gave me pause. After thinking about this very simple thing it occured to me he was exactly right.

Brazil's President has a 4th grade education. He was a labor union leader and many thought his election would be another chaviz a socialist. But it turns out he has turned the country around by having higher taxes and getting the debt under control. It also helped that they discovered 1 trillion dollars worth of oil off their coast and the State owned oil company will benefit the country with the profits.

It almost seems as if the far left hates rich people with the extreme views that I have read on this blog. I consider myself a left of center person and by no means am I rich. When the arguments come down between a far left socialist and a far right extremist (Senator Sanders and Senator Dement) both saying they would filibuster the President's plan that should tell you something. The truth as it usually does lies somewhere in the middle.

I have a crazy idea and maybe it's been said before. Why not add a simple tax question for all Americans. This would be placed on the 10-40.

What does that mean? Well if the $1 per gallon tax credit for biodiesel was in place this is how much carbon we could have displaced.

I must say the tax payer bail out of the car companies and the banks is to the surprise of many of my conservative friends well surprising. They predicted doom and gloom if we did this. So I would like to compare how the Car companies have tackled this verses the banks.

This is the very problem with congress that turns so many voters off. So many who never even bother to go to the polls. The government appears inept. With a back log of 400 bills in the Senate you would think there would be some move to make those bills pass or at least vote. There has to be something in the 400 bills that the two sides can agree upon. I think the tax extendors bill that failed should be brought up again. How about Don't ask Don't tell?

With over 400 bills log jammed in the senate and Democrats not acting boldly enough to pass these what else do you expect.

The Tax cut that they refused to pass until after the election. A package of tax credits to businesses and clean energy etc. failed in the senate.

Our Liberal agenda was hijacked and held hostage from the likes of Nelson and Liberman and Lincoln. No public option and these target dates of HCR set out in 2013 was just silly. This was a gift to the lobbyist that in the end funneled billions of dollars to Repubs to defeat you.
