1. Make the billionaires and defense contractors pay it

Most of that debt, accumulated on my behalf, certainly was spent for my benefit.

4. That infers continuation of funds flowing to defense contractors.

Wouldn't it make more sense to not give them any money, rather than getting a percentage back?
In fact, isn't the logic totally flawed to think defense contractors can do anything about debt, since we incur debt paying them.

Now billionaires are another story.....

13. I'm just saying our debt benefited them most of all

At the expense of everybody else. They bought our government, and made it run up this debt for their benefit, so they should be the ones to pay for it.

I'm not a hunting buddy of Cheney. I don't own Halliburton or Exxon-Mobile stock. I don't get sweetheart no-bid contract deals. I don't make money off the public debt. I don't get loopholes written into the tax code for my exclusive benefit. I don't get cheap labor for my company. I am cheap labor. The special benefits I can expect from my government, if I hit financial rock bottom, I already pay for in the form of regressive payroll taxes (and they can't even keep their fucking mitts of that, either!).

2. Die young?

:shrug:

Can't I charge the biggest corporations with that debt since they are the ones most benefitting off Bush's economy? Shouldn't THEY pay the effin' bill? It only seems fair!!!!!

3. I'm going to take out a home equity loan and pay my fair share...

...I can't stand the idea of the pentagon having to grovel for money.

9. I plan on being dead by then. I already have paid for WWII, The Marshall Plan,

The Korean War, The Cold War and Vietnam. I've done my duty.

10. I dont! eom!

[ileus]

11. considering we all pay around 56% or our earnings already...

I'll stick to the crazy high taxes we already have.

12. Reinstate the death tax. There is no reason why Richard Mellon

Scaife should get 3.9 million a month from 9 trusts when he hasn't done a thing in his misbegotten life.
