Comments on: JON STEWART’S ECONOMIC PLAN http://creativenumerology.wordpress.com/2009/02/02/jon-stewarts-economic-plan/ By Christine DeLorey Sun, 03 Jan 2010 19:04:02 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: coritav http://creativenumerology.wordpress.com/2009/02/02/jon-stewarts-economic-plan/#comment-1268 coritav Tue, 17 Feb 2009 18:51:38 +0000 http://creativenumerology.wordpress.com/?p=1572#comment-1268 Heidi, I believe the writer is talking about the billions of tax payer dollars being requested by the banks for yet another bailout - not depleting the entire tax base. Instead of give it to the banks who already abused the first bailout, give it to the people to spend any way they like. If the economy is kick-started, the tax base would be replenished anyway. I think the reference to slavery goes deeper that just the credit card companies. I took it to mean the whole system, which does engage in slavery all over the world. Slavery is slavery no matter when or where it happens. The u.s. press is not so good at reporting that stuff though or maybe people just don't want to know.

If you take all the money from the taxpayers and then give it back to them as an economic stimulus, you still have to replenish the tax base. Comparing credit card companies to slavery cheapens the true suffering of people throughout history!! I think it was a dumb idea.

You figure Obama and other economic experts must have considered this...but I suppose they need to buy favors!? I SO wish I could get a stimulus check this April to jumpstart my future financial well being, especially being without children and in the highest tax bracket and from NY - it hurts to give over 30% of my income to the government. Sigh. Joy I wish we could make this happen. You figure Obama and other economic experts must have considered this…but I suppose they need to buy favors!?
