Why Should I Vote For Kerry? Who Should Be His Running Mate?

[barman]

You are correct. Corporations and businesses are tax 'collectors', moreso than tax 'payers.'

But in such a case 'he'(Joe Public) retains more selection on where and how he will be 'taxed' via his consumer choices.

This is far preferable to the current system which is founded in taking 15-28% of my adjusted gross income and then using portions of it to murder people in other countries with our military.

Others might cheer that allocation, while decrying something that I endorse.

The individual should have more say in where his 'tax' dollars go, and having the corporations and businesses serve as the primary collectors rather than an across-the-board IRS, would be a way to make that happen more often.

Every individual has there say every november in the voting booth!! I now that it sounds like an old record but we all have say in how we are taxed. I also understand as do many that to have a bloc of people that would be enough to cause change, is next to impossible. As far as killing people in other countrys,well that is a belief that we all make for ourselves. I personaly am proud and happy that we have a military that is second to none, and prepared to fulfill whatever mission they are called upon for. Off the subject slightly, what would you tell (joe public) when he is laid off because we have decided we dont need any more weapons and support from the corporations that produce the military equipment. As I'm sure you realize there are many tools that make the economy strong and vibriant.

I would tell the laid off weapons maker that its time to learn a new profession that does not rely on building weapons which kill.

Were we not expending our supply of munitions overseas in a useless exercise, we would have more than enough for adequate self defense of our borders and country.

Since Kerry is set to name Edwards as his running mate, I thought this was a good time to bump this thread.

thanks to bush's political ideology stem cell research isn't federally funded. this is causing cures to go unfounded, needless pain and suffering to be causes, lives lost and hundreds of billions spent on health care. bush is a total loser. conservatives turn away from this topic till some loved one needs help, just as nancy reagan is doing.
