Obama Signs Global Internet Treaty Worse Than SOPA!

Yep, ACTA was brought up in 2009 here on the forum. The implications of this are very far reaching especially when the word "transparency" gets slung around more like manure on a farm than an  actual goal we believe the government is trying to achieve.

There are aspects of government that will never be transparent we as regular citizens will never be privy to. The bait and switch tactics are the only thing that's transparent to me. Nonetheless ACTA got signed and it will be used as an obligation for the government to abide by it in some form inside our borders. The problem is only a handful of kids in the school yard agreed to this. What happens when all the other kids don't go along? Does their plug get pulled and we enact a data embargo?

Yeah - he signed and now says it's an executive order and not a treaty that demands Senate ratification. And he's supposed to be a Constitutional scholar?
It's a bad joke.
I'm beginning to be truly disgusted with the antics of this government.

Well, it's job creation, but it's kind of like eating yourself. Not exactly what the public had in mind I think.

A perfect example of a Keynesian stimulus idea.

How is this the POTUS's fault?
Democrats are usually against this sort of thing while Republicans love it.

Keynesian economics is bad policy and Paul Krugman is an idiot who doesn't know his history.

These little perspective macro things have really taken of haven't they?

[lifefeedsonlife]

Yeah - it's the newest Meme . . . it'll go away soon enough I guess.

Wants Everyone to Pay Their Fair Share... ... ...

Let it be known.. I think I am in the lower middle class. That being said... the only deduction I have ever taken was for dependents. I can't itemize anything to come out with a deduction. I do NOT expect to be able to claim on a VOLT or a new furnace or New windows and appliances.. I don't get back more than I pay in. I AM one of those who do believe, everyone should PAY something and NO ONE should get back more tax refund than they paid.
 
We have obfuscated this issue so bad... now we have about 50% paying any taxes to the Federal Government.
 
I have however fallen into the retirement bracket that , according to where I live, exempts me (SO FAR) from State and Local Income Tax.) That is the extent of it. I file for local taxes and State for my wife and even though Sharon would owe us money, we haven't gotten a refund sent to us in years. It isn't all that big and if Sharon needs it that bad.. so be it.
 
So..crux of this exersize..DO I PAY MY FAIR SHARE?? I think that I do and have always. ASS, GRASS or GAS... NO ONE RIDES FOR FREE!!! Someone always has to pay the ticket.
