Republican Economics 101 has no logic, This morning on Fox News the Republican Economists said, "Democrats will screw up the stock market with Taxes" First for the record, most Middle Class Americans (75%) have "any" savings or stocks, they live on loans and credit cards which brings out the question, "Who's Stock Market" Answer: Corporate Elites Stock Holder Market. Now let's break it down a little more,What Corporate Welfare Services do these Corporate Elites get for paying very little or zero Federal and State taxes?, they get federal and state maintained highways and railways for their transportation needs, they get maritime ports for their imports, they get Police and Military Security for their businesses from domestic and International threats, they get a mail Services for advertising and shipping needs and most of all they get the exclusive retail market rights to a Mega-Trillion Dollars in a USA Customer Consumer retail Market. In a Nutshell they get everything on a Republican Corporate Lobby Silver platter served to them via a rubber stamp approved and they flatly refuse to throw some chunk change back into the citizen needs hat. IT's VERY SELFISH and GREEDY. Look the Democrats have been on the Senate Floor before and read in an open public citizen forum the names of mega-billions in profit corporations that payed "ZERO FEDERAL TAXES" They read the Energy Companies Profits while Americans payed $70.00 to $90.00 a gas tank fill at the gas pump. GOD only knows what the presription medicare and medicaid drug profit margin is or the Medicaid Nursing Home Profit is or Hosiptal Medicare or Medicaid profit is, but you can bet it's up there with the Energy Company Profits if not more in the Billions. Look Virginia Governor Kaine quoted these numbers last June on Virginia Medicaid Cost, He said in 1990, Medicaid cost the State $1 Billion dollars, Year 2000 Medicaid Cost the State $2.5 Billion, Year 2006 Medicaid cost the State of Virginia $5 Billion Dollars. Look the Medicaid Beast is Growing and even if we taxed every Virginia Citizen making under $50,000 at a 50% tax Bracket and mandated this same Middle Class Bracket donate $100 to the State Lottery monthly, we still could not pay our Medicaid Cost. The average worker in Southwest Virginia makes between $7.00 and $15.00 an Hour.WE are going to have to bring back the Corporate Tax into the the tax system both at home and abroad and inventory corporate tax loopholes. The Republicans have our Country and Military operating on Overseas Credit Cards. We must now break the Republicans of this bad credit habit with Pay and Go. We must balance Virginia Medicaid Cost by collecting some of the billions from local property taxes in Virginia. Most Virginians will see lower taxes, when Corporations start paying their fair share at home and abroad because we can trim cost by regulating Medicaid Nursing Home Care by level Care and cost and License Medicaid Nursing Home Care to Regulated High Standards of Care including a better educated and Better Paid Staff on Higher Nursing Home Level Care like we have levels of care in hospitals. Lower level care in Nursing home will be less attentive care lower cost medicaid care. Medicaid Nursing Home Care should be about 4 levels of care and 4 levels of cost.
