Another sellout to BIG BUSINESS by our Governor

There is Fraud, Waste and Abuse in all areas of the Federal and State Governments. Millions could be saved if there was a more strict program that required auditing of all government programs. This should be more in-depth audits for programs such as Government Procurement, Medicare, Medicare and all entitlement programs. There should be requirements for states to be required to audit and control all funds received from the federal government. The savings would pay for the employment required for Auditors and would create skilled jobs.

we need to tax goods from American companies that have moved overseas ....if u dont man ufacture here then u will be hit with a tax to bring it bach to the slowly imploding former great USA

I am on Social Security, which borrows tens of billions every year from the U.S. Treasury to feed current retirees like myself, and which will not be around for my grandchildren unless it raises more of its own revenue and limits deductibility for high income retirees. As a benchmark, remember that the current rate is a flat 15.3% for all payroll income up to $110k, a very regressive schedule.

PNC bank mislead us about a hardship program in which we participated by telling us that we were eligible for a "special Obama program". Although we were eligible, they failed to tell us that they were not putting us into that program. Despite the fact that we always paid all the payments agreed upon, they have reported us as being delinquent on our mortgage. Now, they will not refinance our mortgage at the lower rates, and no other bank will either because PNC has reported us as delinquent on payments. PNC engages in MANY fraudulent practices.

I Read on yahoo that the department of transportation wants to tax americans for every mile we drive. That is preposterous we can't afford to pay more taxes and it takes away freedom. It's socialism at its best . http://m.yahoo.com/w/ygo-frontpage/lp/story/us/2977215/coke.bp%3B_ylt=A2KL8wPDrPFQunAALSQp89w4%3B_ylu=X3oDMTFzNGZqbWI4BGNwb3MDMgRjc2VjA21vYmlsZS10ZARpbnRsA3VzBHBrZwNpZC0yOTc3MjE1BHBvcwMxBHNsawN0aHVtYg--?ref_w=frontdoors&view=today&.tsrc=samsungbm&.intl=US&.lang=en

"We the People" demand a $12.00 per hour minimum wage. We refuse to work for wages that keep us well below the poverty line. A viable living wage is a fundamental human right, not a luxury!

Billionaire Developer Donald Trump is seeking to transform Washington DC's historic Old Post Office into a luxury five-star hotel. And he's looking for a special deal to dodge a local tax. DC taxes pay for our city schools, our local police, our public health services. Donald Trump is worth almost $3 billion. The Federal General Services Administration and the District of Columbia should not give Trump a special sweetheart deal -- he needs to pay his fair share.

Stop the GOP from ruining the economy because they are being controlled by Big business which has disguised itself as the TEA party movement.

I think it is time for goverment officials to work for the people and not try to shut down the government. If our officials cannot do the job they are elected for, we need to hold special elections to get these people out of Washington. They are representing the U.S poorly.

I have lost lot of my previous jobs to outsourcing. And seems like my current job is also going to be effect because of this.

Congress should amend the federal tax code to bar pharmaceutical companies from deducting the cost of the ads as a business expense. Drug advertisements are some of the most indecent intrusions into American living rooms via TV. A new study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that direct-to-consumer drug advertising may be associated with increased drug prices -- and little else. This petition would not bar drug companies from advertising such products as male performance enhancing drugs or urinary catheters on TV. It would only disallow deducting the $5 Billions+ per year from their business taxes. They could exercise their right to free speech, but would have to pay for it without the tax subsidy from taxpayers.
