And, with the current public feeling towards companies (especially those begging for free taxpayer money), there will never be a better time to try and plug up those holes.

I can't argue with anything you said about taxes.

I would also like to point out, regarding all these bailouts, that......

"Com'on!!! Enough is enough!!!"

I can't believe that Congress is outright defying the will of the people in all these continued bailouts.. It's getting so bad, Obama is going to have create a cabinet level position, "Bureau of Efficient Government Bailouts" or BEG Bailouts.

I mean, seriously. I was always told that the first thing, the VERY first thing you need to do when you are stuck in a hole is to STOP DIGGING!!

I guess the current Congress' strategy is to keep digging and digging and hope you come out on the other side of the planet...

The first thing that Obama needs to do once in power is to reign in his Congress and get them to quit bailing out every Tom, Dick and Harry that flies to DC in their private jet to beg for money.

Osborne Ink -

I've never understood this argument either. Do they really expect us to believe a guy is going to say "gosh, with the new Obama tax rates, I'm only going to bring home $8.2 million this year instead of the $8.8 million I made last year. I think I'll slack off and not work so hard."

It truly boggles the mind.

I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me how taxing someone who makes a million dollars will prevent that person from trying to make another million, or even two million, the following year. Yes, it's "your money." It's also YOUR COUNTRY.
