They claime the 1 and 2%er's are the job creater's! Prove it! For the last 11yr's I havn't seen nor heard of any investment from that group except they arn't spending. So Prove it or stop claiming it!

I inherited a house. The first half of the property tax was still on the senior citizen breaker and was around $600.00. The second installment was the total cost of the tax, about $4,500.00 minus the 1st payment, about $600.00 equaling $3939.00. What happened to the tax break the circuit breaker was covering for the first installment? All they did is deduct the first payment from the total tax. They should have cut the second installment by around half the total tax because of the senior citizen's discount. What a lovely system we have, LoL. I took care of my dying mother for 5 years and when I got my first job after she died, I'm making about $15,000.00 a year. It took me 7 months to save for a car to get to work to pay my taxes, but I had to give all my savings for a car to the tax man. And I still owe them $1,900.00. Damn it, MAN!

THE WEALTHY OF THIS COUNTRY CAN AND SHOULD PAY THE MOST TAXES ...NOT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE BARELY MAKING ENDS MEET BY WORKING 2 JOBS AND/OR LONGER HOURS .....THE RICH STAY RICH AND THE POOR GET POORER MENTALITY OF THIS COUNTRY NEEDS TO CHANGE .AND IT NEEDS TO START WITH THE GOVERNMENT ......

Most analysts agree that the repeal of the financial regulation provided by the Glass-Steagall law made possible the financial meltdown that hurt so many of our citizens and led to the worst recession since the 1930s. I personally lost $50,000 of a $60,000 investment that was a large part of my retirement nest egg, and others in the same investment lost everything.

The basis of the GOP economic plan is tax cuts for the "job creators." How many permanent, full-time, non-campaign, American jobs has Mitt Romney created with the money saved since the Bush tax cuts went into effect?

New Jersey Republican Senate candidate Joe Kyrillos made waves recently when he said that he might support 'smart' taxes on the wealthy. This comes after years of siding with his good friend Chris Christie and opposing all attempts for a New Jersey millionaires tax as a member of the state legislature. We think asking New Jersey's millionaires to pay their fair share so that the state can invest in education and job creation is pretty smart. Let's see if Joe Kyrillos is willing to do more than just talk about making the wealthy pay their fair share. Tell him to co-sponsor the millionaires tax in NJ!

Trillions of unproductive dollars are siphoned out of our economy every year by everything from simple nepotism to cash bribery. As a result the wealth that we generate as a society has been redistributed to the top 1% where it has effectively been hoarded and taken out of productive circulation. After thirty years of labor saving technological developments this siphoning off of our collective wealth by the scam artists has left the rest of us struggling to make ends meet. As a result we can not address ourselves to society's challenges of climate change and global hunger because we are too busy trying to keep our head above water to feed our families.

Presidential Candidate, Mitt Romney.

We can't take our middle class economy for granted. It will not somehow fix itself. In fact, it is more likely to continue to devolve into an economy that cannot grow or provide economic opportunity for most of us. Neither the “invisible hand” of the market, nor piece‐ meal legislative initiatives proposed by well‐meaning politicians, will get us where we need to be. We need something bigger, something more comprehensive, something more lasting. That “something” is an amendment to the United States Constitution to protect our middle class economy

President Obama promised that he would reorganize the NAFTA agreement and in his first years he has not come up with a plan to share with the American people. I still think it was the wrong thing for president Bush and Clinton to sign this bill. It has weaken the American work force and increased unemployment and weakened America's backbone.

Create a flat rate for all homeowners that have negative equity in their homes and high interest rates above 5%. Those who have rates lower would not be impacted. All loans regardless of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac ownership would be eligible to flat rate their loans to 5% saving money on their housing payments which would slow foreclosures and in turn put money back into homeowners poackets and spending in local economies.
