Tom you need to read up on modern nuclear power, it's waaaay safer than it used to be, there have been huge advances. And dirty? Not compared to all the coal and oil we burn, and not into the atmosphere.

Nuclear power has come along way, the only problem is that new plants cost so much money no one wants to build them. And the fact of the matter is to build one they tax the people, then the people are charged for using their own power plant.

I say we build power plants everywhere for free with money bush grew on a tree somewhere, I mean why can't we just print a bunch of money we don't have right?

No, that's called your monthly electricity bill.

I love america too, but for what it was, what is was founded on, not the corporate pig is has become. It seems like more often then not the decisions or govt. is making are wrong or are made for all of the wrong reasons. I mean honestly, why would the bush administration create a war in IRAQ?$$$$, is their anything wrong with this picture. Why are these people running our country? If the Iraq war was created then who knows what the real story behind 911 is.

I'm just saying it's kind of hard to pay for things in our country when bush wants to make his stupid tax cuts for the rich permenent. I'm not exactly sure how you pay for a war and cut taxes at the same time, oh thats right, you increase your deficit by spending money we don't have. If thats not printing money we don't have I don't know what is.

Why should the upperclass be taxed at so much higher percentage than the other classes? They've worked for and earned their money just like everyone else.

How is it fair that a person who makes less then 600k a year has to pay a set percentage of their taxes where as if you make 10 million a year you only have to pay taxes up to 600k? You tell me how that is fair?

I believe 600k was the cut off, I am pretty sure that is the most a person has to pay in taxes. [edit]apparently this statement was false.

And it's not a higher percent, I believe we all pay the same percentage of our income. it's that the stupid ass republicans set the highest taxable amount to 600k I believe.

Check the federal income tax brackets.

There is a certain point where your taxes don't go to a higher percentage, you still have to pay tax though on money made higher than that. Social security is another story, but regular income tax applies to everything you make.

I suck when it comes to taxes, thanks slowboy. The rich should have to pay more taxes because their rich, they have more money so to be fair they should be taxed more. Why did I bring up taxes? The real problem is that corporations are moving overseas for cheaper labor and taking govt. income from taxes with them. Their is so much corporate money overseas because they don't want to bring it here and pay taxes on it.

[Kracka]

The rich do pay more taxes b/c they do make more money. "Fair" would be for everyone to pay the same percentage of their income towards tax, our economy has gone beyond that to give the lower and middle classes a break by taxing them at a lesser percentage than the upper class.

We need certain jobs and labor to go overseas, our market demands it.
