So it is OK to call President Obama a Stalinist, a communist, a socialist, a fascist and compare him to Hitler, but heaven forbid we say Rumoney is uncomfortable around black people when in truth he is uncomfortable around all people.

One way to assist working families, single mothers or fathers and just plan people to move ahead:

A REVERSE INCOME TAX PROGRAM for lower and middle class wage earners instead of taxes being withheld from paychecks the government would add additional income with the goal to provide additional income to those most likely to spend the income on goods and services thereby reducing poverty and create jobs.

A WORKER RECEIVING A WAGE OF $20,000 WOULD RECEIVE AN ADDITIONAL $30,000
30,000 15,000
40,000 10,000
50,000 5,000

It seems to me that the best we could do is to hire the occupiers who wrote the comment to staff the SEC, and have the SEC staff occupy their mommies and daddies homes for awhile while they learn a new trade.

First let me thank you for remembering what happen on December 7, 1941. I was three yet I still have memories of my father jumping out of his chair a raging through the house. He attempted to reenlist but was told he was needed for the home war effort. I think it was a soft way of saying you are too old which he was. Of my uncles going to war thankfully they all returned.
Now the topic at hand here is my version of what is required.
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO CONTROL CORPORATIONS
Corporations, companies, businesses, limited liability concerns and any other similar organization organized for profit are to be created by the individual states and can be regulated by all levels of government in accordance with state and federal laws, rules and regulations. Under no circumstances shall they be considered or equated with being a natural person(s), individual (s) or citizen(s).

5. HEALTH CARE
A. Raise the Medicare entitlement fee to 2% of total income including wages, salaries, bonuses, interest, dividends, capital gains and other forms of income. Those paying more than $2,000.00 will receive a tax deduction.
B. Allow Federal government to negotiate with PHARMA industry to lower drug prices.
C. Allow VA Hospitals to care for low income non-veterans.
D. Carry out the Medicare/Medicaid cost reductions mandated by the Affordable health Care Act so that the growth can be slowed. Putting these provisions into action fully and as soon as possible is the best way to reign in spending.
E. Allow Medicare to bundle payments for several standard procedures nationwide phase in over the next four years payments for all procedures and primary care completely replacing ‘fee-for-service’.
F. Implement competitive bidding for durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, laboratory tests, pharmaceutical and other medical supplies.
G. Require electronic eligibility, claims processing and payment as well as centralized physician credentialing.
H. Do not pay extra for technologies that are more expensive but no more effective than other available technologies.
I. Allow all citizens a under the age of 60 a choice between a Medicare Public Option or private health insurance. All over 60 would receive Medicare.

We are seeing a peaceful, non-violent assembly of thousands exercising their Constitutional Rights as citizens of a free and noble society to speak, petition and protest against the Wall Street criminals, right-wing intolerant politicians and overwhelming police repression and violence. The use of instruments of brutality to cause pain and harm to citizens in the name of law and order is unexcusable, and only results in anarchy, mayhem and confusion.

I would suggest that a Financial Transaction Tax be used to fund the Infrastructure Loan Bank. Funding of the ILB would come from a tax on stocks of 0.025% on all trades (buy or sell) plus an additional 0.1% on all short term trades. Any trade made within the same 48 hour period will be considered a short time trade. All derivative trades will pay a tax 0.05%.

I can understand where the District should have a voting member in the House of Representatives, but I would rather they be allowed to vote for Senators along with the State of Maryland since it was Maryland from which the District was taken. Actually the portion of the District which was taken from VA was given back to VA.

deductions to non profit organizations are always tax deductions did not think it was even necessary to point it out

No tax on profit but a tax on all advertisements, campaign contributions and lobbying costs. A tax on all profit not paid to shareholders after legitimate business deductions. A tax on all trades under a second turn around. A return to Glass-Seagull??. A special tax on those financial instruments which caused the problems. A better way to fund medicaid and medicare and open medicare to all over 55. Then all of this:

1. A REVERSE INCOME TAX PROGRAM for lower and middle class wage earners instead of taxes being withheld from paychecks the government would add additional income with the goal to provide additional income to those most likely to spend the income on goods and services thereby reducing poverty and create jobs.
A FULL TIME WORKER EARNING $20,000 A YEAR OR LESS WOULD RECEIVE $20,000 A YEAR IN ADDITIONAL INCOME ONE CITIZENS APPROACH FOR MOVING US FORWARD WHILE REDUCING THE DFICIT

30,000 15,000
40,000 10,000
50,000 5,000
2. INCOME TAX all income from all sources wages, interest, dividends, capital gains, bonuses, funds shall be taxed on a graduated % within each bracket NO DEDUCTIONS..
 $50,000 to 60,000 7%
 60,000 to 100,000 7% to 10%
 100,000 to 150,000 10% to 20%
150,000 to 200,000 20% to 30%
200,000 to 250,000 30% to 40%
250,000 to 1,000,000 40% to 50%
1,000,000 to 10,000,000 50% to 60%
Above $10,000,000 straight 70%
3. SOCIAL SECURITY Change the pay roll tax by reducing it from 6 to 5 per cent on the first $100,000 which would be matched by the employer then a graduated upward tax on all earnings (gross income) above that amount. Such a tax could look something like this:
The first $100,000 5%
$100K – 1M +1%
$1M – 5M +2%
$5M – & above +3%
Everything paid above the first $5,000 would be a tax deduction. In other words a person making one million dollars would pay $5,000 on the first $100,000 and $9,000 on the remaining $900,000 for a total of $14,000. Someone fortunate enough to be making $10,000,000 would pay $5,000 plus $9,000 plus $80,000 or 2% on the next $4M and $150,000 or 3% on the final $5M for a total of $244,000 or 2.44% of earnings of which $239,000 would be tax deductable.
4. CORPORATION AND BUSINESS TAXES
A. Eliminate all corporation taxes on profits which are paid out to shareholders but tax dividends as income B. Tax all corporate advertisement at a rate of 50% ie.: for every $1 spent on advertising $.50 goes to government C. Tax all corporate lobbying and campaign contributions at 100% ($1 for $1) D. Tax all bonuses over $10,000 at a rate of 45% E. Tax all penalties, fines and punitive forfeiture at 25% F. Tax all profit not paid out as a dividend to shareholders at a rate of 15% G. All legitimate business expensive can be declared as a deduction except those in items b –e. H. Impose a special tax on the profits of all corporations and businesses which out- source jobs, build manufacturing, research and development facilities abroad and keep all or some financial accounts in foreign nations. I. The following loopholds shall be closed: 1) “active financing” tax deferral for financial firms [this exception for foreign source income allows multinational financial firms to avoid tax on their worldwide income by allowing these firms to establish ‘captive’ foreign financing subsidiaries], 2) dividend deduction on foreign source income earnings from U. S. controlled foreign subsidiary corporations, incorporated overseas [enables firms to avoid repatriating foreign earnings] and 3) the debt tax shield [deductibility of corp. debt interest payments for foreign firms].
5. HEALTH CARE
A. Open Medicare or create some other form(s) of public option for health insurance which must compete with private insurance companies.
B. Allow Federal government to negotiate with PHARMA industry to lower drug prices.
C. Allow VA Hospitals to care for low income non-veterans.
D. Carry out the Medicare/Medicaid cost reductions mandated by the Affordable health Care Act so that the growth can be slowed. Putting these provisions into action fully and as soon as possible is the best way to reign in spending.
6. BUDGET CUTS
A. Cut farm subsidies by 30%.
B. Cut military budget by following the recommendations of the Sustainable Defense Task Force report which targeted cuts in: strategic capabilities, conventional forces, operational expenses, procurement strategies and eliminating unnecessary weapons systems. There is broad agreement that savings can be had without sacrificing national security. Estimated to be $100/yr
C. Eliminate all subsidies for fossil fuels including production credits and charge all petroleum companies full price for all well inspections.
D. Eliminate all subsidies on corn ethanol.
E. Increase fees on all Federal lands used for: lumbering, grazing, mining and other for profit activities. In some cases a percentage of the profit may be negotiated to protect the people’s interests.
7. INFRASTRUCTURE LOAN BANK
The ILB would be funded at $300B to start and added to in increments of $50B to $100B per year until fully funded at $1T. Any elected unit of government may barrow from the ILB. Terms of the loan would be a 10% match to be repaid over a 25 year period if not sooner at 3% interest. Private corporation both for and not for profit may barrow from the bank provided the projects are for public use or benefit of all citizens and are infrastructural in nature. Terms and conditions would vary in accordance with the law. The bank may be use to fund low energy green construction, transportation improvements (highway, rail, airport or port), water and sewage systems, electrical facilities, structures and grids, rural broadband connectivity and mass transportation (buses, mini-buses, light rail and fast rail transportation systems).
8. THE PEOPLE MUST GET CONTROL OVER CORPORATION
