We are a generous society that gives much of our personal resources. Let those in Congress give all of their personal resources first when they want Cap and Trade, Welfare, Gov paid abortions.

Do you really think the owners like having to fly back and forth from America to elseware to run their bussiness. When they should be able to have a business nearer to home where they could watch their kids grow up and enjoy their families. Or are you so obsessed with fulfilling your wants and desires through everyone elses wallet that you would use govt. officials to steele money that you just don't think you should have to earn? Grow up and quit being lazy intelectually and otherwise. It's time your skin was in the game.

Tim, you assume that 100% of our people are 100% honest ALL of the time, and not wanting to get ahead at somebody else's expense. That's a wild and foolish assumption, and inconsistent with the real world. Our country is going down the tubes for one and only one reason: our politicians are paid (in campaign contributions) to deregulate vital industries (letting them run on the honor system) and support unfettered globalization (ie, sending jobs to India and China so their contributors can pocket more wealth). Take the blinders off, Tim. >>> "Capitolism works just fine as long as the moral component remains intact."

Record revenues poured into the treasury. The problem, as always, is that we SPENT more than we brought in. Let's also remember that congress has the power of the purse. Both sides can share the blame. What is indisputable is that THIS president and liberal congress is raising the spending to unsustainable record levels. Keynisan economics do not work. Couple this fact with corrupt politicians who will not conduct investigations while they are fleecing us, and it shows why the approval rating is 14%. With advanced technology and instantaneous mass media, these politicians can no longer slide and hide as well. The more they show contempt for Americans, the larger this storm will grow and - it's about time.
