Sanders fights Bush Nominee on WalMart tax breaks
Last week, US Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) grilled White House budget director nominee Jim Nussle at Nussle’s Senate confirmation hearing. Sanders forced Nussle to go on record admitting that at a time the White House is trying to prevent better-funding children’s health care programs, he supports giving the members of Wal-Mart’s Walton family alone a tax break worth more than billion.

Funny my corporate made school textbook told me that before the Depression, government intervention in the economy was almost un heard of

Ever heard of the Federal Reserve…….and do you really think a “corporate made school textbook” is going to expose the corporations that created the Federal
Reserve system and how it fucks up this country? I think not. Mine didn’t.

they wouldn’t lie about having a laissez-faire economy before the depression. I think corporations would try to talk most about how the lakc of government controls was a great thing. No one’s going to say that lack of gov’t control caused the depression. The facts are, the government played little part in the economy and it went bust. Gov’t intervention got us out of the depression

“they wouldn’t lie about a laissez-faire economy”
1: Railroad industry
2: U.S. Postal Service
3: Public Schooling
4: Removing Bi-metalist monetary standard
5: Tariffs
6: Handing over power to coin money to Federal Reserve

7: The Civil War(By the way slavery would of been phased out through the free-market the same way all the over countries phased it out. Slaves cannot compete with workers getting a paycheck. )
Gov’t intervention was all over the place before the depression.

the tax system is fine it’s the spending that is out of control! Funding private military contractors and Haliburton! Stop the war!

How is giving more to the wealthy any better than giving more power to the government, because that is what happens when you lose government intervention in the economy.

The ones that are doing well and so called successful are stealing and created this financial quagmire of a MESS! The WTO, EU, banking systems that are global are now doing the ponzi global stealing. It is now happening in the big box retail sector globally. This ponzi scam has got to end!!!!

First of all Senator Sanders is an Independent Socialist. Second Both parties are corrupt and seem to support the destruction of individual rights the true freedom that this country is supposed to be based on.

The true freedom of America is the right to consume.

growth does not equal a higher standard of living. Lower population and the worlds standard of living will go up and save our resources to boot.

Senator Sanders is in fact an independent and is a member of the Democratic Caucus. In reality, he is actually considered a democratic (small d) socialist.

Your proposal relies on too many assumptions of economics and human rights to be a viable solution in modern society. Absolutely no population control is appropriate, or necessary.
#20 written by controlpopulation May 28th, 2009 at 20:52
Yeah, your argument convinced me.
There are no assumptions, population has exploded the last century and almost every problem we face today is because of it. Its time to wake up and realize that less people is always better.
#21 written by RonPaul2008dotcomluv July 20th, 2009 at 07:55
NO, we do NOT need population control, what we need is resource control so that there will always be enough resources for everyone and not just rich people.

this is terrible, tax breaks for the wealthy when millions are struggling…

When the government goes out of its way to protect the rich you end up with Facism. I think the US is pretty much there.
