Obama will save us Instead of giving more money to businesses who have already had loads of cash given to them, how about not giving more money to businesses and give it to the poor and middle class. They will buy more goods and services and this will help keep businesses profitable. poor and middle? Rich don't spend, right? You people are cracking me up. What is the freaging difference? Since you want to cheat, then cheat like there's no tomorrow! Why don't we give every American 1000000 dollars? What is the problem with that? ...And then let the free market work, after we done cheating. oh, By the way, why let free market work at all? If we can give poor and middle class some money today, how come we can't do it everyday? |

The rich have being doing just fine the last 8 yrs. Thank you. So then this isn't about "helping" the economy. It is only about stealing what one can not earn. Somebody need to send you a K.Marx / Engels collection. They had a whole theory on losers being oppressed. |

Thank you. So then this isn't about "helping" the economy. It is only about stealing what one can not earn. Somebody need to send you a K.Marx / Engels collection. They had a whole theory on losers being oppressed. Wait a sec.. We just gave wall street and banks money they didn't have to do much more than sign on the dotted line for, did they earn that money we just gave them by the bag full? Personally it's probably more a knew jerk reaction, but hell we can at least fantasize about getting even a fraction of a fraction, though I doubt anyone here expects a damn thing from our government but more BS and hand outs to the rich. I didn't ask for the jobless situation in my town. I pay my bills, and I am with out debt. So did I deserve the jobless situation that wall street and others created and our government handed money to with out strings attached? |

You did You simply made it known that this bailout has nothing to do with helping the economy. Because if it did, then you'd reason everybody pay taxes, everybody knows how to spend. And further, if it was about taxes, then rich pay the most, middle pay less, and poor do not pay taxes, they just suck the taxes of others and get returns. |

I do believe that we are talking about two different things. And, yes, the poor do pay taxes. Income tax, real estate tax, sale tax, personal property tax. They aren't losers and they don't suck the taxes of others. |

So did I deserve the jobless situation that wall street and others created and out government handed money to with out strings attached? You're right. Why stop now? Why exclude rich or poor. We can all get a lot of money. Let's bailout ourself. Like I said, everyone gets a million. Personally, I am against any bailouts (cheating). I just wonder that people are so ready to cheat, but they won't their own fellow Americans cheat as well. |

They aren't losers and they don't suck the taxes of others. What can I say... My friend just paid upper 5 digits in taxes. This is only income tax. My situation is slightly different. I also personally know people who pay $1500 in taxes and receive $4000 in refunds. Because they are "poor". I don't think you even know what you are talking about. |

And further, if it was about taxes, then rich pay the most, middle pay less, and poor do not pay taxes, they just suck the taxes of others and get returns. I moved from a fairly well to do area of Florida, I was sorta middle class myself and I have learned more about what it is to be poor in this country from moving to where I am now. And it's not what I thought it was. Sure there are always some that take advantage but there are people in this country that really are poor.. working poor.. they don't go get health services because they can't afford it. And the services they might get for free, suck so bad, that I would be embarrassed as a doctor. They aren't paid enough to even put into the system, so they aren't taking advantage of the rich by any stretch of the imagination. I never here these people moan about much, they don't have much but they always share what little they do have, and that is more than I can say for some of the privileged in this country. And if they were forced to pay taxes one what little they do have, that would be criminal. The middle class do pay their fair share, I don't see them having anywhere near what the rich enjoy and yes maybe some of them take advantage but you don't punish the whole country for what a few do. I will never understand why the rich are so worried about someone taking from them... No matter what you take they are still bloody rich.. bottom line.. I don't know which I dislike more. A whiny rich person or a person that won't bother to work at all. But blaming it all on the poor and middle class should be a bit embarrassing for this country. |

I don't know any poor people that receive $4,000 back in taxes. They also pay the other taxes I mentioned. Even when they pay rent, they pay real estate taxes. It's in the rent. They personal property tax if they have a car. They pay sales tax every time they buy something. They're not looking for a free ride. They are the working poor. |

I also personally know people who pay $1500 in taxes and receive $4000 in refunds. Because they are "poor". Now I don't understand that at all, that does seem like cheating. But that also seems like someone in the irs is blind as a bat. I think the word cheating is unfair to use on most of the people in the US. I have heard more about rich who avoid taxes in many ways, because? Then can... |

I think the word cheating is unfair to use on most of the people in the US. I have heard more about rich who avoid taxes in many ways, because? Then can... No, it is because they too poor to have a cable TV. They mostly "procreate". I don't have kids. My friend, on the other hand, has 3. He is getting no refund on kids. No refund on private school. No refund for baby sitters. No stimulus. Basically, he is considered a plowing bull. He only supposed to plow. He isn't considered a human being, so no stimulus for him. Americans love to cheat. Bailout is nothing but a cheating. You have lost the money, but we will give you more. Cheating. Because at the very same time, there is someone who competed with the loser, put all of his effort in it, and won. The loser supposed to go out of the business, so that he does not waste the oxygen. Instead, he gets the bailout, stays in business. And what about the one who was smart and prudent, worked his ass off to be successful? This is nothing but cheating. "Heard" is one thing. Get to know any rich person. Ask what they pay. All of this is paid by so called "fairly taxed rich". They get even richer, because they try even harder. They don't give up like poor do. |
