Isn't it bad enough that we have underpaid...?
educators teaching our children in underfunded public schools, over-worked and disgruntled postal workers handling our time-sensitive parcels, and underpaid police officers expected to put their lives on the line to protect us...
Do we really want to add doctors to that list? Will all the best-and-brightest be left with no other alternative than to become lawyers?
8 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoWere the socialist policies of the Democrats more tolerable when...?
they were national socialists like FDR, Truman, and Kennedy than the current international socialists? I mean at least you knew FDR would stand up for the interests of the United States while he was redistributing the wealth... Now the Democrats still want the "movers-and-shakers" to foot the lions share of the US government bill, but dehumanize and demonize them to gain favor with the average US citizen and are unwilling to defend their income generating interests abroad...
Is a little respect and the occasional "I got your back" too much to ask for employing US citizens, providing goods and services, and paying 35% of your income in taxes?

5 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoInstead of heavily taxing oil companies to redirect money to alternative fuel research...?
Instead of taxing oil companies that already research alternative fuels, provide many jobs for US citizens, make comparatively low profit margins of 6%, and will only pass these additional taxes on to the consumer...
Why not levy a 95% tax on the top entertainers for alternative fuel research. Actors provide little to this country other than entertainment yet they complain the loudest about energy concerns. We could provide them with the piece of mind that they are affecting real change, for the $20 million they make a film they'd still have $1 million to live on which is plenty compensation for play-acting, and we won't appreciably effect the economy.
For example, using round numbers, the top 10 actors each year get taxed 95% on the $20 million they made per movie. We would end up with $190 million for alternative fuel research per year.
We all win.
7 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoIsn't Obama saying he plans to unite the country and end partisanship the same...?
As Bush saying "Stay the Course"?
Both severely lack the details needed discern whether or not they actually have a potentially successful plan...
Haven't we heard enough of "What" we need and shouldn't we demand a little more of "How" we are going to get it?
5 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoDoes it bother Democrats that GWB got a higher % of votes than?
Bill Clinton ever did?
10 AnswersElections1 decade agoWhy is Chelsea Clinton such a failure compared to the Bush twins?
