[quote who="taltamir" reply="4" id="1953625"]It is something EVERY employer must pay for by law, employees never pay into it directly (aka, you don't see a deduction on your income for it), and should you become unemployed, you claim it directly from the government. So it is an insurence run by the government paid by all employers by law on behalf of employees. Not exactly the "typical" defintion of insurence.[/quote] But in a way its still insurance right?</
[quote who="maudlin27" reply="6" id="1953574"]One argument in favour of the Citi bailout (not saying I support it, since I'm generally opposed to bail outs and don't know the full specifics of the situation), but it could well be that Citi has a sound business that can cope financially, but is vulnerable to people having poor expectations about it's future, with people believing it is in worse shape than it actually is. However the government is aware of Citi's true state, and so buys up pref

[quote who="pictoratus" reply="16" id="1953654"] isnt that the same idea behind the "Sale" concept employed by every consumer-based business? they cut the price (in effect they cut their profits) .... and you think they do that for fun? their profits, no boubt, increase even though they decrease their margin in each item. .... it is the same idea ... they make it possible for more people to afford their products ... and they make more money even though th
[quote who="Sodaiho" reply="18" id="1953737"]Its not the people in power that will have to get off their asses, but the common Joe's who need to step up to the plate, re-tool themselves, start a business, work a second or third job, p[ay down their debt, and invest once again in their futures.

I am often amused by people who claim "where are the links" as if you somehow made this up when in reality they either refuse to accept it or just plain suck as googling.[/quote] No worries. It just seemed like you guys were aiming at me and calling me a leftie when yeah... anyways its all good . Another job less day of job hunting again. Things couldnt be better
[quote who="Sodaiho" reply="15" id="1953705"]No, but I do think its high time we got ourselves out of this shitter and the ONLY way to do that it to get to work, TOGETHER. Half the battle in any war is psychological: get your head on straight, get to putting one foot in front of the other, get to working with guys you don't really like, and you know what? The job gets done. Have some faith in America. Be well.[/quote] working together will n

[quote who="taltamir" reply="2" id="1953189"]well... back in the days of serfdom the serfs were all slaves, bound the land, owned by the lord. The lord would "tax" them... he would not provide a service, he would just take from them to give to himself. However the governments of that age called it a tax. Despite me oppsing the stupid remarks that "it is just taxation", I am left wondering, what exactly IS the definition of taxation. wikipedia (I know, bad source...) says: A&nb

[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="1" id="1953095"]Management does not know how to innovate - because they always had the crutch of the UAW. Sadly they probably still will instead of allowing them to die a natural death. Pelosie and Reid (not Paulson!) will not allow them to die - they will be bailed out like all the other dinosaurs. Problem is, they will still die - they will just take a lot more people with them when they do.[/quote] and make the countr
[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="5" id="1953075"]El-D and Watertown made the important points. But I will add that no one here is against taxes. Nor even progressive taxes within reason (progressive to 90% is ridiculous however). But the problem is taxing for redistribution. There is no basis for it, and it is wrong. The reason there is an lower, middle and upper class is that at each stage of life, we earn differently. We should not be penalized for aging, yet t

[quote who="EL-DUDERINO" reply="3" id="1952908"] If the damn gov cant seem to control its spending then we got real problems. I have to live on what i make so why the hell cant the Gov? Well said. I am very sick and tired of all the out of control spending done by government. Our deficit is out of control and part of the reason why we are in the mess that we're in. It's about time someone started pulling in the reins a bit. Obama claims that he is going
Yes read it all! From working in a union at one time myself I can say every bit of this story is TRUE! I think alot of people that say " OMGZOR NOT THE UNIONS FAULT!" are either in a union themselves or want to be in one or as far as never has been in one.

why are people so for taxes? Okay not taxes but raising them? Dont we already get taxed enough? You have your payroll tax... things you buy besides food gets taxes you pay fees to get a stupid sticker on your plates for your car...gas gets taxed.... just about EVERYTHING gets taxed and sometimes doubled taxed... if not taxed more.

[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="6" id="1952215"]You get paid $100/hr. But you have to work 40 hours a week and then get taxed 50% on those 40. But because you make so much, you have to work an additional 8 hours a week for no pay. That money goes to a man who does not work at all because he does not want to. That is what you are supporting, not your flowery denial of confiscation.[/quote] OOO you smacked him good!' </
