Partial Proposed Tax list for 2016

I'm so tired of them (government) working at ways to take more of what I earned.

Don't worry... We're in good hands.



errum..yeah. It'll be a long couple years, huh?

Even if everyone quit smoking tomorrow the loss of revenue would just have them adjust somewhere else to make it up. Their intention of taxing cigarettes was never to make people stop, thats a fools proposition, this has always been an additional source of income in the name of improving the quality of life. Because if their intention was to improve the health of the citizenry, and reduce medical cost to the nonsmoker then the obvious answer is to just outlaw the product.  

I love the dichotomy the government placed itself in when they force legislation to improve fuel milage through cafe standard. Then only to see a loss of tax revenue because the car goes farther on a tank of gas. So they run up these trial balloons of GPS, tracking devices, to monitor your milage to have you pay by the number of miles you drive. Everyone hates oil companies, but it is our illustrious government that makes money on fuel cost, the oil companies do really well but they have cost and pay huge taxes. The government has no investment in acquiring this tax on fuel. What you see at the pump is only a small part of the taxes involved in producing gasoline or diesel.  

The answer is to shed ourselves of useless politicians that only know how to spend and not conserve. When we figure that out the rest will be easy. The winds of technology are blowing it will be sometime before the citizens enjoy the cost savings but the Navy has quietly been purchasing Low Energy Nuclear Reactors or LENR clean burning cold fusion reactors for ships power.

By increasing taxes, I would think the net earnings of much of the working class would then fall under poverty-or near poverty- level. That would enable untold numbers of people to qualify for 'assistance' in the form of housing, food stamps, ACA subsidies, etc.

More 'redistribution'?

I know far too many people who can't afford to work full time hours at minimum wage. They would lose their 'benefit' package, and effectively reduce their standard of living by more than half.
Government subsidies seem to have reduced the lower wage earners to remain dependant on handouts, and now they are focusing on reducing the middle class to a dependant state.

Back in the 60's when 'subsidized housing' was created, I got laughed at for saying this was a well designed long-term plan being implemented. I don't even feel like gloating........

What departments are up and down in Obamaland this year? AP did a story looking at % change per Cabinet level department. Some surprises...by amount, if nothing else.


Well there is one sector of the economy not hurting. 55% increase? The greenie weenies must be ecstatic..while the rest of the nation looks to derail that particular little train, IMO.


Only in America can the man suggest the greatest expansion of public education spending in America's history ...while saying spending for education by federal sources will drop in the coming year. (reality..doesn't have a place in his vision of life...does it?)


We have a secret service that is too busy in fights with overseas street walkers and call girls to protect much....so indeed, on top of whatever was built under the White House Lawn, and deep beneath the fountain, they definitely need millions more! (Hey..how about explaining what the hell WAS built that took such time, caused so much local disruption and consumed such enormous amounts of concrete? Obama has a real fear issue..huh?)

Well, at least the laughing stock of the world scientific community for space development isn't being cut MORE. It's still a pathetic little 18.5 billion they are generously allowed to exist with...but it's better than actually cutting!

So there is a sample. It should be an interesting year to come. More loss, more cost and by the look of things? A WHOLE NEW war with American combat troops fighting again for Iraqi sand and Syrian land thrown in as a bonus..just starting up. (10,000 suggested to deploy in the last report I heard ....so..they better keep that defense well funded, eh?)

These are two that I am happy to see go up as repairs to both are sorely needed.

But while I see the budget being boosted in these sectors I worry that it'll be spent unwisely and on things like the high speed rail or Solyndra which are boondoogles.

They needed to fix what needs fixing first, then start to think of new ways of doing it. Stop throwing money at the "Idea Fairy".

I appreciate the warning the government looters give

lol..

Here is what I would do..

I have no overseas wealth for them to tax

I would hire a homeless native that has no job
(keeping his balls in jar of course)

He is now making the money for US tax purposes

(rig it differently for natives structure)

I would rather pay the native a million rather then have the us take twenty to thirty million

screw the looters policy and BTW
It is probably going on

The EU is a beautiful mess of regulation

Another million and I buy local looters on the payroll and poof..
I am up 18 million


If you want the overseas crap to stop fight it in economic terms the companies understand and will follow
Make the cost of international good match the US labor cost for the equivalent

So when it gets here make the Mofo pay at the dock
If your gonna loot be intelligent about it

I hate Amateur criminals
