Making money illegally and the underground economy, though there CAN be overlap, are NOT the same thing.
Selling crack on the street is illegal. Moving furniture and not reporting that income to IRS is underground.
‘Warrent Buffet’ (aka Warren Buffett) will pay a tax on his salary NOT pay a tax based on the fact that he “has more money to spend”.

I used to play a game many years ago. I’ll explain.
When someone, anyone, said that they voted for Obama I asked them a couple of questions.
1. What is the name of the Speaker of the House?
2. Who is Harry Reid?
3. What for of government is the United States of America?
Most people, nearly all, could not answer ANY of these questions, and, for example, if I cannot answer these questions AND I am sure that so and so should be president… it is likely that i am not interested.

Do you think that some black people AND some white people voted for Obama BECAUSE he is black?
If your answer is ‘yes’ you now have the answer you’re seeking about racism.
If you see him as a black man and that was the reason you coted for him, then, by definition you are a racist.
That you are a white man voting for a black man BECAUSE he is black… means that you have put race ahead of some other issue(s)…
hence the label.

I used to think like you (at least as related to the first sentence) until it was explained to me in a different way.
For example, did you hear Obama say, “I’ll go boy-girl boy-girl”?
By definition, that would be called being sexist!! Before you freak out, understand that he admited that he was going to make the SEX of the person asking a question, an issue. Three Ladies stand to ask questions, all eager. No man stands…. “Okay, I need a man now… any MAN with a question?”

@gary23902003
How is it racist if someone (let’s say a white guy) votes for a black president, how will that be racist? It’s like getting your best friend fired from a job.

Why stupid people shouldn’t vote! If you voted for our current President in 2008 to prove you weren’t a RACIST, please vote for someone else in 2012 to prove you’re not an IDIOT!

Mr President, you mentioned fairtax and flattax as if they are the same. They are not. The fairtax is progressive, due to the prebate. Everyone pays the same rate minus the prebate everyone gets. Under the fairtax you have to spend more than $900k to pay the full rate. If a family of 3 spends $50k, they will pay 2% less than now. The poor will not pay any taxes AND they still reap the benefit of lower prices on goods due to embedded taxes being removed.

One more thing, the underground economy (those who make money illegally) will now pay into the tax system, since they need basic neccessities. Although Warrent Buffet will pay the same tax rate as everyone else, he will pay more into the tax system, since he has more money to spend (fairtax is a consumption tax).

Capitalism is the wage slavery of immense humanity in a politically manipulated,tyrannical MARKET SYSTEM OF ARTIFICIAL SCARCITY to perpetuate the very of conditions of wage-slavery/exploitation in the interest of the ruling elite. We need to get rid of this minority imposition of MONEY over LIFE for a world of cooperation for our common needs and wellbeing in harmony within and without.

I think the government needs to regulate the market to save US. None of the oil companies have any idea how to stop these leaks and their clean up plans were developed in the sixties. No one cares as long as they pay royalties on the oil they drill. We the people who are being hurt by this spill need to care. I can see the government bailing out BP. If BP goes out of business we end up paying for this disaster.

Too big to fail….you mean the government might regulate the market to save them? They aren’t regulation free, they are under both positive and negative regulations. The whole too big to fail idea itself is nonsense, any business, big or small, with bad practices that bankrupt it ought to be allowed to die.

They were using sea water instead of mud to pack the well in order to save ten million dollars. Every day there is more evidence that what they did was unsafe and violated the law. Eleven witnesses to that are now at the bottom of the ocean.

Its odd i have not noticed anyoen point out how bp was not following regulation in regards to that well. They would be if they had any evidence they were , instead they point out track records. oh sure 1 year from now the blame will fall somewhere but it will be BS. The real issue was gov. said listen we are taking charge anbd you have to follow our rules, bp did pushed out a well in way to deep water and a fluke happened as they always will . And now the gov. say see what happens?

The oil companies are nearly regulation free and the few rules that they do have they helped to write. This is a perfect example of what happens when an industry operates under its own free will. They will continue to lie to the American people whenever it suits them because they are too big to fail.

Are you kidding me? The very regulation they were subjected to has created the problem. The fact that their liability for the incident is limited by federal law means that they are less likely to take necessary safety precautions.

Why do they cut corners? Because they are only liable for 75 million in damages. It completely fucks up risk calculations. Remove government restrictions and the free market will handle this

The new healthcare law is fatally flawed , The recent report from the Obama Administrations Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which confirmed the healthcare bill will increase costs and cause 14 million Americans to lose employer-sponsored coverage, was yet another indication the new health law is not going to work as intended. What an achievement, they should be very proud of screwing over the American people. Next time please use KY-Jelly. Vote them all out!
