    Do you think if we totally eliminated taxes that business would insource those jobs back to the US? You underestimate greed. You must think joeblow business owner is civic-minded.

    My company is running fiber to folks homes. Lines can then be cut on with the flick of switch. The only saving grace is that we are now offering television.

    The biggest roadblock to this wasn't taxes but a law requiring major telcos to share their networks. My company wasn't going to build a major fiber network and have to share it.

    How do I think wealth is perpetuated? Apparently with perpetual tax cuts.

    Lets become a nation of executives and grunts.

    Tax cuts result in money to be invested in making more of same.

    It's really very simple.

    Okay, now, you're running fiber-optic cable, right?

    You say, "My company wasn't going to build a major fiber network and have to share it."

    Tell me now, how do you justify your company's piggybacking on another company's network, not because you have compensated the company which built the network, but because some bullshit law says that that company is legally compelled to do what your own company will not?

    I see the nicotine patches haven't worked, the repubs can't quit the Marlboro Man

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    Tax cuts can result in that but so can profits.

    Btw, should taxes be cut more?

    Taxes could always be cut more, given our spendthrift legislators.

    You say your company wasn't going to "build a major fiber network and have to share it".

    Why not build one and not share it, then?

    They are buiding one and not sharing it.

    The problem with your first is that the spendthrifting has not been curbed.

    You still cannot have perpetual tax cuts.

    Why have taxes at all?

    You are on the verge of understanding my point.

    The problem is that we've had a Republican congress, not a Conservative one.

    The tax cuts we have can certainly be abided.

    Here's the joke:

    We need to tax in order to defend our country and it's borders.

    That's become a point of utter hilarity.

    You don't say. They are a joke calling themselves "conservative".

    No, not at this point. This administration has spent us to fuck-all.

    This is not the time for lower taxes, of all things.

    How about higher taxes coupled with rules for earmarks and a balanced budget?

    No, but really. Why have taxes at all?

    Re-read the emboldened script.

    Really.
