----------------------------------- hbgator Tue 06 Sep, 2011 How can WastedTimes Balance the Budget and Get People Working ----------------------------------- 1. tax spam mail and pop up ads 2. do away with pump your own gas, have a person wash your windows and check your oil ----------------------------------- jkf Tue 06 Sep, 2011 Re: How can WastedTimes Balance the Budget and Get People Working ----------------------------------- Tax everyone and all business entities. including corporations and the wealthy. More you make the more you pay. No tax exemptions for profits made overseass. Extra taxes and penalties to companies outsourcing products that are to be sold in US. (If I can buy an iPad3 for $300, I will stop buying from China Grabber. Apple can live on a lot smaller profit since it only benefits the company and its investors. Not our country. If they really want to give us cutting edge, then lose some profits :lol:) There needs to be a payback from US corporations to exist as a US corporation that will help the maintenance of the standard of living in our country. They have bled the consumers/American workers by removing their sources of income and will continue to drive us into default if left unchecked. And getting people back to work will increase tax revenues which will help with the deficit. ----------------------------------- fieryred Wed 07 Sep, 2011 Re: How can WastedTimes Balance the Budget and Get People Working ----------------------------------- WE could start requesting to speak to an English Speaking American when we call customer service, so that they have to quit outsourcing the customer service to foreign countries, and have to hire American people to handle customer service........thus giving people jobs, causing them to rent American office space, telephone services........ ----------------------------------- jkf Wed 07 Sep, 2011 Re: How can WastedTimes Balance the Budget and Get People Working ----------------------------------- If they can get people involved in e-commerce, then we can all work as temps for companies from home that don't want to be saddled with permanent expensive employees. That might be enough chump change for us to eat out one extra time per week at McDs and actually pay for a movie out of Redbox... :lol: I might be able to find a work-at-home job as the drive through order taker for one of these fast food joints... :lol: This profit madness just doesn't end... They are outsourcing local jobs to other areas in our country where the going price is cheaper. Even people who are struggling at these pay levels are getting screwed...
