America sucks...there's no denying that. We have such a jackassy approach on running an economy and government that it has left us with a whopping $7,945,758,628,933 debt. Now there are approximately 296,862,177 citizens living in the US and because we live in this country we each owe $26,766 if we were to ever pay this debt off...even though it isn't really...totally our fault...though in some certain circumstances we are to blame. Now...here's what is a real kick in the ass...the debt increases by about 1.7 billion dollars a day which means that each day, each american will owe another $5 which means each year we owe another $1825 to the government.
So what I want is a discussion to what could be done to remove the debt. My thing is this...we are average americans so what is our way of survival? Save every god damn penny we earn and learn how to admit to changes and adjust our current income to fit the cost of living...where as the high rollers that run this country are used to handouts and being rich at birth, thus not needing to learn how to survive with minimal income. So we would be the smarter ones to help our country, we are fucking survivors.
I bring this up because, without a solution, taxes will always be higher and higher because of the higher and higher debt, however if something can solve this problem taxes as well as the cost of living will decrease. I have a lot to say so I'll divide it into sections.
Over Seas Affairs
First, we'll start with this war going on. There are a lot of people out there who say a lot of should haves and could haves and act so fucking smug because of their such HIGH intelligence because they thought of a better way to do something that's already happened *twirls a finger* good job numbnuts, if you were really so damn smart you would be trying to think of a way to solve current problems, not problems of the past THAT CANT FUCKING BE CHANGED NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU THINK ON THE MATTER!
Anyways...after we have trained up the Iraqi military and set up a government over there that the Iraqi people have deemed suitable, we should pull out immediately and let them take care of their damn selves....however....if we decided to keep troops in Iraq to help them as they progress, we should then be entitled to a percentage of their resources with no need of having to import anything to them or pay to them...after all we are doing a service to them by keeping troops there to protect them..therefore we are entitled to some of their resources (petroleum, natural gas, phosphates, and sulfur) The money gained from these obtained resources should be used for military salaries and project funding ONLY!!! Not for paying some rich shit to get richer or pay for some stupid road construction project that isn't need *looks over at andy and sighs* you at least know what i mean. So the tax payments of the american people aren't actually being envolved in this affair.
Also, for fucks sake stop giving money to these poor ass countries that have an abundancy of untapped though well known and located resources that could be used to fund themselves. Take russia for instance, it has a HUGE amount of untapped resources that it knows god damn well it has but instead they just continue taking money from us, so i say we give them the middle finger and stop funding them. Besides...Russia has like no military worth any sort of concern to us, the only weapon they ever created worth a bit of respect is the Ak-47. Other then that, they suck and are of no threat to us so i say fuck em, fuck em right in the mouth. And the same with africa and all those other countries, we started out with fucking prudish nitwits that didnt even know how to tend a garden and look at how we have grown today, so if we can do it, so can they so they need to quit looking for handouts the fucking lazy shits. Get a job.
So basically in other words, unless theres a profit or equal exchange to us, stop worrying about countries that wouldn't lift a finger for us. (perfect example: we gave so much money to those fuckers who got dropkicked by that monster tsunami yet not a single country gave us a penny out of pure generosity to help us out when all those hurricanes hit us last year)
Outer Space Programs
Very simple, stop putting so much god damn funds into space programs...that aim to do what...discover what sort of rocks the moon has? Yep that's 14.5 billion dollars a year well spent -.- To hell with discovering life on another planet, if they wanted us probing around we would have been invited, and for god's sake fuck the idea of us living on another planet, keep that shit for sci-fi novels and movies. Let's worry about fixing the shit we've done to this planet before we even think of making an otherwise inhabital planet livable. The only money that should be given to NASA is for satelites to monitor weather, the media, and for watching around the globe for threats. Otherwise space travel is a waste of money, time, and resources.
Donations and Charities[/b]
Like I said before, fuck other countries until we fix our own. The only donations and charities that should be allowed are ones that are directly related to America. There are just as many starving, jobless, and homeless americans as there are in any other country and i tell you one thing if i were a homeless person and i ran into some one who decided to run a fundraiser to feed and cloth some starving shit in another country, id beat the fuck out of that person. I mean honestly how do you explain to a poverty stricken american that you could have helped him out but instead decided to aide a god damn foreigner? If some independent organization wants to donate to some foreign country thats fine, but anything government or state related should remain for this country only!
Gas Prices
Supply and demand baby, that is the only way to beat these prices. Right now the demand is high so the cost for it is high, however if people limited their usage the prices would decrease. Doing simple things like waiting an extra 1000 miles for an oil change would help. Or perhaps buying a bike and biking to places, or even driving part of the way, parking your car in a place that keeping it there all day wouldnt get it towed away, and riding your bike the rest of the way. Or carpooling is also helpful. Get a bunch of friends together and determine a day during the week where all your shopping will be done and ride in one car. The less gas is bought, the gas companies will ask you to pay for it due to its decrease in demand, so quit being a lazy shit, get a bike, get some roller skates, make a teleporter...do something but stop using up so much gas.
Taxes[/u]
Taxes...I hate paying them but I know I have to...however...I think we got the system wrong because we pay all this money but have no choice as to where it goes. So I say that we decide what our tax money goes on. When we fill out our tax dealies when we get a new job there should a check list with a minimum of 2 tax reductions we can choose.
Government Taxes - pays for presidential salary and such (hey if we think he's doing a shitty job and dont choose to pay him then he obviously doesn't deserve much money then does he?)
State Taxes - goes towards construction, schools, and things of that nature.
Charity Taxes - money we donate to help the people IN OUR COUNTRY ONLY!!! if you want to help some foreign twat then be my guest but do it outside of you taxes.
Debt Taxes - pay to help us get the fuck out of debt
Social Security - i hate social security, i know i wont live long enough to ever get it so why should i pay for it? But if you feel like you must then go ahead...
medical/scientic research - if you want in the fund to pay for a cure for cancer, this would be the sort of deal for you.
and then of course im sure theres others but i cant think of more at the moment.
Removing the Church and State Seperation ammendment[/u]
Let's be truthful, the church runs the government. Most the people in office are followers of the christian faith, so why keep the church seperated from it? So I say if the churches are running our government and deciding our fate, then they should have to pay taxes as well. Did you know the real estate taxes alone on the churches of america would be enough to take a HUUUUUUUUUUGE percentage off our debt? BUT because they are seperated they aint gotta pay crap and I say bullshit to them, if they want to run their organization in america, then they have to pay the government just like any other establishment does.
Welfare[/u]
I agree with helping the less fortunate, but not if they do nothing to help themself. If they do nothing to get a job and show signs of being nothing more than leeches towards the tax payers money (SUE!!!) then they deserve to rot in poverty. End of story.
Well this is about it i think for my ideas...what do you have to say?
