1. Yea!

2. Shared sacrifice. (signed!)

"Mr. President, please listen to the overwhelming majority of the American people who believe that deficit reduction must be about shared sacrifice. The wealthiest Americans and the most profitable corporations in this country must pay their fair share. "

[MADem]

5. Unfortunately, to the wealthy, "shared sacrifice" means

"All you poor folk get together and share that burden!"

So long as foreign countries continue to offer these rich corporations sweetheart tax deals for setting up an office in an anonymous office block and calling it their "headquarters," and our country doesn't find ways to SPANK the host countries or the corporations for doing that sort of thing, this crap will continue.

8. Signed. I added the following comment.

To retire the debt, do the opposite of what got us, U.S. in debt in the first place.

Stop Bush's terrorists making wars of Choice. Close the almost 800 military bases around the world. Being the self-appointed World Police is bankrupting us, U.S. Let someone else do it, if it needs to be done.

Rescind the Bush era Tax Cuts on those most able to pay them: the Well-To-Do upper tier.

Close the tax loop holes on Corporations so they have a tax to pay in the first place and stop subsidizing multi-billion dollar international corporations with our tax dollars, especially when those multi-billion $$$ businesses that are not paying any taxes in this country in the first place. They want to be people, tax them as people!

Re-regulate our business so they can not continue to get away with the fraud, corruption, gambling and outright greed that are driving our stock markets and our financial institutions. Put the criminals in prison.

Get our Living Wage Jobs back into this country so we have people working at realistic wages, high enough that they have discretionary spending and to get the economy moving again and so more of us make enough to pay taxes again.

Stop trying to scuttle the public sector employee using the excuse that the private sector employee is hurting, so therefore the government employee has to be hurt also. Instead of dragging the government employees down in the race to the bottom, raise the private sector up!
