Perhaps the U.S. needs many more border collies. The drug cartels have a better distribution process than most Mexican or U.S. businesses. The border is leaking like a broken earth damn that looks like swiss cheese but our politicians are blinded by the potential impact on votes.
Israel should do what is in Israel's best interest and ignore the U.S. the U.N. or anyone else that attempts to interfere. The U.S. has and should meet the obligation of providing any military equipment Israel request. Israel has the financial resources to pay for the materials and equipment needed. There will never be a true "love thy neighbor" peace in the middle east but Israel can stop the aggression surrounding them.
The ignorance in congress regarding financial matters is frightening. Of course they do have advice from lobbyist about what and where to invest to grow very wealthy. They talk about the need for jobs but criticize and harm those that create non-government jobs. The government cannot bankrupt but they can and are in a bipartisan way bankrupting the majority of those they govern.
Mayfield is not dancing to the medias tune therefore being chastised for not spending tons of money for a year prior to election day. He is talking to and listening to voters in small town hall meetings and gaining support. He is wisely saving his limited funds until closer to the election. Too many people wait for the media to form an opinion for them versus getting to know the candidate themselves.
No HR4646 does not do away with any income tax. It seems you may have it confused with HR25 or S13 which are consumer taxes and the most logical proposal around that some fear may actually get out of committee.
Such a critical issue. Animal mistreatment is unacceptable and there appears to be enough laws, rule and regulations to attend to it, perhaps even better than how people treat each other. What about and opionion (toon) about HR 4646 where each financial transaction with your bank is taxed 1%?
I have doubts you would know a free market if it hit you in the buttock.
I doubt anyone here is old enough to have seen a truly free market with some government regulations but no interference in the business via tax breaks, incentives and payola to get support and voters. With true competition with no price fixing prices will be competitive and the well managed will survive and those not providing good value in use will die. Why did the democratic congress and the SEC allow bankers to also be brokers? Banks have also been allowed to be involved in managing peoples money and investments. I agree banks are still too big but should not be protected from failing.
Cost benefit analysis is nice. Increasing costs to government do need to be recouped, but are you sure tax increases are needed? Perhaps sometimes they would be, but frequently new regulations expand on industry and create a larger tax base.
Response: You like many here jump to a conclusion based on what you think someone means. Many regulations add no cost to a business of the consumer. Some result in reduced cost to the consumer and in some rare instances the business. Others do add cost with little to no positive impact. The only point is there is never an overall review of regulations and compliance cost and duplication at the local, state and federal level opposite what the regulation will accomplish. Patch work changes and reactive overlapping additions result in a complex system similar to the millions of words in a tax system no one understands completely.
There should be a cost benefit analysis required for any new and all existing regulations. Those increasing cost to government should increase individual taxes by that amount. That would of course double the cost to tax payers since businesses will increase prices to pay for compliance cost. Many but all are essential.
Like most things with too much government involvement education cost have soared and quality eroded. Our grade schools and high school still use the 1800s and 1900s techniques which fails to fully utilize and reward the most capable teachers to protect the worst among them. Parity in education is not good. Higher education facilities are often fraught with fraudulent behavior.
