What if we just renamed the country and pretend we formed a new one. Then technically all contracts and treaties the US has ever signed would be void, and we wouldn't have to take anyone's shit. It's almost as genius as an international pyramid scheme.

The word "Province" is too gay for Americans.

"territories" would be more badass syntax. People from Boston would ask what "Terror Tree" your from. I think we should divide the country into quadrants. Make St. Louis the capital for geographic reasons and have the 0,0 of the quadrant in the middle of the new white houses roof.

I'm not too up to date on current events so feel free to flame me if any of this is irrelevant, but the fact of the matter is, if a business needs to rely on the government to stay afloat, doesn't that mean it's giving the government the final say-so? It's almost like an adoption, really.

Besides, how fair is it that mismanagement be rewarded by billions of dollars in bailout money, and the same manager that ran the company into the ground gets a fabulous cash prize?

I'm not looking at the bigger picture because, if Right Wing Talk Radio is to be believed, looking at the bigger picture leads to endless slippery slope fallacies (Look at this AIG stuff OMG communism!!111) So I look at it like, why should my taxes go to a company that's going to sink anyway? If a CEO gets a golden parachute, let it be for competence, not because we opened up our wallets to throw them a lifesaver.

You look at the big picture and you'll see the ice caps melting and the sun burning out and all of humanity dying. It's dead depressing.

And it seems to me that no one was screaming "COMMUNISM!" and "UNFAIR!" until it was the rich that started getting taxed. Like they suddenly realized how the country gets stuff funded. Idiots.

Paying taxes leans towards socialism, which people get mixed up with Communism. Our country uses a mix of socialism and capitalism, to balance each other out. If it were only one or the other, things would be worse.

I think it could be argued that taxes don't really control productivity *shrug* but yea we do have a mixed economy.

still i dont think its raising taxes on rich people that gets people's panties in a bunch.
