Republican spending is bad in the pork arena.  They claim to be for less government then they create 1000's of pet projects.  They don't respect the taxpayer!

We were not at war when the policies were set that slammed us into the red, sadly.  It's a matter of a corrupt government that is controlled by special interest groups.  Ask yourself this:  if the energy and oil companies are reporting the greatest profits they have ever seen, why does our government continue to provide them with tax deferrals and outright payments in the form of subsidies?   Just how much has Haliburton made in Iraq?  And why haven't their cost over-runs, which go into the billions of dollars, been investigated?  Then ask yourself what companies the current administration worked for and will return to when they are out of office.   The connection becomes pretty clear.   We are no longer a democracy but a corporate oligarchy.  The citizens select which corporate representative will take power, not who represents them best.

They can't tax pot, so they will not legalize it. Our "great" country is much more interested in turning a tidy profit than in listening to the wishes of it's people.

Umm, I don't think that Pixel understood the question.  The sales tax goes to the state government and local government, which don't pay for the war in iraq.\n\nIt's probably because stores want to appear as if they are charging a lower price for the good.

Excellent news. I couldnt figure out why he would do something like that, unless it was a giant F you to the families that he will never pay.

Bloomin' cheek. I suppose these US government officials have got diplomatic immunity.\n\nLook if we've finally got the Queen to pay tax, surely it's a small thing to start getting foreign dignitaries (not just the US, in case anyone starts) to cough up what they owe! Time for another campaign ...\n\n8-]

I am white lower income($15000) American and Bush is destroying our family. Gas is to high, cost of food too high, cost of heating too high, cost of living too damn high. My husband is a disabled veteran who receives ssi and we have plenty of class.

Yes Bush was disappointed that he could not bully or force the Chinese President into our way of thinking. Our currency could be for a rough ride!

Unfortunately, you're right. Most people don't seem to realize that less than 1% of the population makes over $100,000 per year. The left keeps saying we need to tax them more, but it does the least.\n\n\nWhat the gov. needs to do is stop spending!

it is to much money for a war that should of never been fought. i know that sadam housian is not a good person. but he did not bomb us. bin laden did. why arent we spending 2 trillion on a war with the guy who bombed us not with the guy that bushs daddy should have already gotten rid of. guess the apple dont fall far from the bush family tree.

Amen Amen, you are so right....America tends to forget about its own.....I have known families of illegals drawing benifits that should have gone to our people here.  Yet my husband has to pay taxes every week out of his check like all the rest of us legal americans do...yet they work, draw a check and no taxes are held out.  I feel sorry for all the other countries but good god we need help here to.
