Major Problems in the US
Our Federal Government is being forced to print our currency. This is seriously damaging our economy. We have to stop printing our deteriorating currency.
Our National debt is through the roof, yet Congress keeps raising the debt ceiling, what do they hope to achieve by doing this?
Start paying it off!! Enough is enough. :(
Every day Hard working Americans are loosing their jobs. People in the United States are desperate for answers, they need some one to blame so they blame our government, or they blame the President.
Desperation for Blame
Government?: Uhh the Government isn't really to blame, I believe they have good intentions, but they are being controlled.
President?: You can't really blame the President for not helping our economy, if the President has a bill that's really good for the people and the economy, the President apparently needs to pass it through congress, the bills that presidents want to pass are mostly turned down.
Since when did our country become we the Congress? Why don't we decide whether or not to pass a bill.
Crisis in the M.E.
Most of our oil that we use is Foreign oil.
This has become a real big problem, it's not cheap it's expensive. Due to Civil Unrest/Civil War in the M.E. Oil is now becoming extremely difficult to afford. The United States is not distributing out an oil reserve through out the country. ...... That's not going to last long.
Major Cut backs/ Out sourcing.
Since our Jobs are being out sourced, we have very little opportunity here. We need to create better jobs for our country.
Well I have been keeping my ears out and paying close attention to the crisis in our country.
Please respond.
Post an Idea.
Be polite.
Be Creative.
No Criticism.
No Trolling.

Why do people argue for a flat tax?
Do you realize that is simply a way to shift even more wealth to filthy rich people?
Taxing someone at the poverty level the same rate as a billionaire is a recipe for anarchy.
Average College Idiot: Consumption isn't that much different among rich and poor people. I have worked with people who earn north of $1M/year, and they were eating Corn Flakes for breakfast and a turkey sandwich for lunch. Most rich people have their money tied up in investments. Besides having a nice home and a nice car, their spending habits aren't much different than poor or middle class people.

We should switch to the Fair Tax, which is a retail sales tax. All spending up to the poverty line will be tax free in the form of a rebate, so it's progressive. Rich people always consume even if they're so rich they don't work and pay regular income tax anymore, and it's much easier to escape paying tax on income than it is a sales tax. As a business owner who tells the government how much I make each year, I can attest to that.
