I see your point because I too have trouble some of these issues but let me explain my point.
Abortion is a very tough issue for me particular. I don't understand it but I have never been in the situation that some face. I think it is unfair for me to judge somebody when I have not walked in their shoes. From a religous point of view if God actually wanted a person to be born in this world I do not beleive any thing would stop that. I am not saying it is okay to have an abortion but I do not think these people are criminals
Taxes....I don't like them..... who does.
I work for a large corporation that could give two shi_s if I die or live. All they care about is the bottom line not how they get there. Yea, go ahead and tax them as much as possible.
I do not see any problem giving a tax break to older americans. Somebody that was promised a good social security check but it ended up being hardly nothing. I have watched as my grandma has struggled to pay for her medication and think she deserves better
As for the poor getting back money they never payed in. Some people abuse this just like everything else. There are some that this can completely change their lives. Kids that get new clothes and good food to eat. Single mothers that have a chance to get back in to school. What does this money do for the rich???? 25% of a car payment? New reef tank? Night at the casino??? Let me see money that can totally help somebodys way of life or some entertainment for some high rollers. I think we all know which option God would choose. Give them some money I don't care if they have paid it in or not.
The one particular abortion bill Boba opposed was not preventing a woman from having an abortion. It was making it a crime for a non parent or guardian to take an underaged girl to another state to avoid complying with a law requiring a girl's parents be notified or give consent for an abortion to be performed. Parents have to consent to ANY other non emergency medical procedure to be performed to the extint a school cannot give your kid an asperin without permission. I dont think its unreasonable to expect the same in case of an abortion. There was no excuse for that vote other than catering to a extremist group that opposes anything that might be seen as making a moral judgementl
Just because a "corporation" doesn't care about you does that mean it shouldn't be profitable? By taxing the corporation as much as possible don't you understaind that cuts into the amount of money available for the company to pay for expenses like say your salary? A corporation is nothing more than a group of people mutually invested in a company for the purpose of making money, be they corporate officers, stockholders or employees. And that is about the order of priority when it comes to splitting the profits. I'd keep that in mind.
If you study up on social security you will learn it was never meant to be the sole source of support for older Americans. It was intended to supplement savings and pensions. Up until the interest rates started dropping I was making over 500 dollars a month in interest on my savings account and have averaged about that much in dividens and capital gains off my stocks over the last 4 or 5 years. None of that includes our 401K and IRA accounts. I collect Disability Social Security every month and I am taxed on it.
I don't mention this to brag but to make a point. I don't like taxes either but I have no problem with the fact I am taxed on my social security. I own my house and cars outright. Under Obama's plan I would no longer have to pay any tax on the Social Security income. Do you think its fair to shift that tax burden from someone like me to someone like you who I assumes has to worry about having a job to keep a roof over your head and your family fed?
As for the poor needing to get even more back I must call BS. What the poor need is to become not poor and that doesn't happen through handouts. Any able bodied person with a sound mind has no excuse for not getting by with even some to spare. I understand crap happens sometimes but I am not talking about people who had a sudden run of bad luck or even stupidity that has knocked them down. I am talking about people who's biggest goal in life is to make night manager at the 7-11 or tend bar at the coolest club in town and then sit around and whine because they can't afford to support the three kids they shouldn't have had.
Da, I sound preachy. End of Sermon
