Heard recently the Bush tax cuts cost this country between 3 and 4 TRILLION DOLLARS over the past 10 years. There is the  reason for almost a third of our 14 trillion dollar debt. A good part of the reason we have run up this debt is basic math. Because of the vast amout of wealth that is being stashed off-shore by the multi-nationals along with the corporate welfare system compounded by the afore-mentioned tax cuts on capital gains. (Bush tax cuts); we just plain and simply do not bring in enough money to continue to spend like this.

    Was listening to a piece about the war powers act and the situation in Libya. They said the reasoning as to why we're there is because the people were being killed by their leaders. Well the same thing is happening in Syria. Why are we not helping those people? I suspect there are basically 2 reasons.

1. Syria is an enemy of Israel. We no doubt don't care if there are a few less Syrians. Lord only knows Israel doesn't.

2. Syria has no oil.

The American government rips off its people. The money ends up in the hands of the rich. Hence the debt. This is a plain and simple truth. True or False ?

Also American is run by Criminals. True or False ?

America is no longer a democracy - but has become a Corporate State, which is a form of Fascism. True or False ?

Free Trade is killing the American middle class. You know Washington has to be in bed with Corporate America to have passed these laws. No unions, environmental laws and ultra cheep labor will certainly attract business to out-source jobs; but when you killed the import tariffs and allowed them to get the goods back into this country free, you sealed the fate of the American worker! I know there's nothing here you didn't know and understand. If you truly represent the American people, advance some protectionism legislation. If someone doesn't soon, the boycotts will start.
