I was just venting at the socialist mindset to "get the rich, and soak the evil corporations". Corporate income is double taxed, once as a corp, then again as dividends. Drop both of those taxes and business would come back to the US in droves. More jobs = higher income tax revenue (evil in and of itself), and our tax rates should go down.

Beg to differ. AQ and the 9-11 attackers were funded by OBL and other Saudi nationals, some with connections to the Royal Family -

The trillion dollar number is accurate -
http://dailycaller.com/2012/10/18/re...1-03-trillion/ . Add the amount from the 2011 Congressional Research Service report for direct Federal spending ($745.84 billion) with the
$282.7 billion spent by states on Federal welfare programs, and you get 1.03 trillion. Numbers for 2012 will be much higher. True that no one has the stones to stop it.
Socialism is evil, and will be the undoing of this once great nation.
