Anybody agree with THIS money question? Taxes, new, old, all.?
I just heard on one of those forum-type conversational shows (from an all-woman panel every week) One of the women use the statement that "I think the american taxpayers' money should be used to benefit the American public".
My question is this ;
Shouldn't the American Taxpayers' money be used to benefit the American TAXPAYERS, and any profits from the rest of government be used to benefit "the rest of" the American public?!?.
Is it not the American Taxpayers that keep the money of the country flowing in multiple directions and keep the economy in flux and operating?, and don't the people doing those jobs continually generate government income from penalties, fines, tariffs, production and licensing fees, gas taxes, renewals of licenses and registrations for vehicles, medical insurances, treasury bonds, etc, etc, etc ?...
Shouldn't the Taxpayer be creating a route to better income from the money it costs to actually HAVE a job these days, and be promoting an actual worklife that CAN lead to a better worklife?.
And wouldn't this money be put to GREAT use to provide a fair pay for same work law in all companies by job-class structure, legitimate tax deductions for people who really benefit the country with their products, or a cost-of-living increase that actually relates to the genuine cost of living yearly?.
People who drive would get related increases when gas goes up, people who ride the trains and public transportation would get a traffic decreasing benefit refund - that actually pays for more than a couple train tickets for the year, etc.
And at the other end, companies who cause actual damage to the cost-of-living, produce non-assisting items that don't run or operate as "green" as they could would get bigger penalties until they DO operate properly for the future benefit of the employees and customers, and any business that provides services to non-employed people who are of emplyment age would be getting subsidies from sources OTHER THAN taxpayer dollars, meaning the actual Government income from all other sources.
And the people who run the government would get their salaries from those other sources as well.
Now I need to decide where in Y! Answers this would be categorized.
Good luck!.
ThAK YOU - JOHN C!, I agree very much with the teaching of job skills at middle school ages, but find that most 8th graders these days are not only unwilling to work and think they will be sports or music stars, or are under-educated by laxidazical teaching systems to properly answer even basic job training questions in some major areas.
Just seeing the mispellings and some of the questions here on Y! Answers shows a huge lack of desire to get money any legitimate way, or live "above the system" that supported their ill-planning childhoods.
At the same time, should that be MY financial problem when I earn a living, donate time and money to getting the people who I know who have lived "on the systemn" for years com-uters and training them in software for decent jobs, and helping them learn skills with ebooks and mentoring?.
Am I not already doing enough, and wouldn't keeping more of my $ let me do more anyway?, especially in a larger free classroom environment?.
BTW - On the notes of the insability to filkl out an application, and colete an interview successfully, that word especially, isn;lt that the purpose of the high-school Civics class (called that in my days, now it's economics and government usually), which is supposed to teach the absolute basics of not only big business, but running Your own as well?.
In that respect I think thousands of kids would benefit from a revamp of the business teaching part of the process, and relate better to managers, supervisors, and store and division managers and how they interact, as well as what each of them looks for in an employee for promotions.
Should they also use some of the Taxpayer money to create a business-minded education above the simple "Young Republicans clubs" and after-school programs for the "geek-set" and private schools?.

I think that government should not have a hand in determining the pay and compensation of any individuals. Government is not supposed to be in the business of wealth redistribution. Government does not have profits and can not create money, they can only take money from those who create it and then spend and distribute this money.
As for unemployed working age people the way to fix this structurally is to teach personal finance and basic jobs skills in school at grades 8, 10 and 12, each grade more advanced learning that way even drop outs benefit. Its amazing how many unemployed people do not have basic skills to look for a job, fill out an application and perform an interview successfully. Having companies that do not "perform to government standards" on making the "right" products, paying their employees the "right" amount, and working "green enough" to pay for this type of thing is not right.
I would have categorized it in politics.

i idea it replaced right into a draw. exceptionally because i idea Obama's interrupting replaced into obnoxious and he replaced into incorrect about the military. added, he did not extremely have a plan previous fixing coaching that is customarily determined through states and easily funded some through feds. at the same time as i idea Romney wasn't aggressive adequate. i did not extremely listen any plans on both area yet Romeny's 5 element plan that we continuously listen about. Obama regarded more desirable in contact in speaking about Romney's personality faults then overseas coverage.
