Clinton (BJ junky that he was) left Bush with a +$300Billion surplus - that's in yearly surplus of funds - you know?. Which Bush turned into a +$280Billion deficit -
Wow we open he thread with a lie. Nice democratic talking point though. There never was any surplus and the projected one was not because of his tax increases but the fact that congress forced him to sign the balanced budget amendment.

What's wrong with paying taxes? If they are fair
Its already in the works its called the fair tax plan and it sure dont resemble your socialist solution.

Corporations that use USA labels and earn + $1billion 15%. Any Corporation that does business with the US government, cannot claim more than a 10% profit and must pay 15% in taxes on those profits. Any corporation having previosly claimed USA status and wishing to do business with us, equal part of equal paid.

Bingo, balanced budget.

You better go back to bussines 101. Corporations pay NO taxes. We do. They just pass it on to the consumer in the cost of their product. These days approximatly 23% of what you pay fr anything is covering the companies taxes on that product. Its the same thing with health care. Those of you who think your company is giving you free healthcare are being duped. If they werent paying for that they could pay you more money. Corporations in reality dont pay for anything. They exist for one purpose and that is to make money. When they cease to do so they cease to exist. This is cold hard reality.
