Any new tax bill is just a golden carrot for votes, favors, sex appeal....
Doc is right on the money with that one.
Also, there are other deviousness that goes on with our 'tax cuts'
And I do see some of our rights being trampled on and pushed especially the church and state one, jeeeeez, no more on that though, to tired to think about it.
Just something that popped into my head reading some of the responses here:
I have a friend that is originally from Cameroon, Africa
She is a lawyer (exclusively a momma at the moment) the husband is a doctor.
They both are fed up with the American poor and think a serious lack of common sense is the only thing preventing them from being ,not so much well off, but having the things they need without debt.
She says the people in her country that are poor, stay poor, there is not much opportunity to become anything else.I think she said the lower schools (our grade schools) are not free, but I am not positive I heard that right (she has the thickest french accent, I have to ask her to repeat things all the time )
The rich stay rich and are much more comfortable than America's rich- why?
They do not incur debt, they have no credit cards- they pay for everything up front-that means cars, houses, land-everything they own-they OWN outright.
There is no middle class and there most likely wouldn't be here if there was no such thing as credit.
Credit was an astonishing and absurd thing to them when they moved here.
American's, in their opinion, HAVE options. You can be born poor and get an education and get ahead in the world- we have vast opportunties to go to school and really, no one can be denied going to college, there are enough grants, loans, etc to get thru.
The husband gets very frustrated at the poor choices some of the low income men and women make.(He one of few GP's that take public insurance in this town) He doesn't understand why, except for superficial reasons, that anybody living in this country can't be anything they choose to be.
It made an interesting conversation that day and alot for me to think about.
AND FERRET
Your country is small, nuff said :)
