If the one percent spent as much money on the economy and making jobs instead of trying to manipulate the presidential election, our democracy and economy would be better off.

Both sides of the political aisle seems to think that businesses need tax incentives to create jobs. They're both wrong. Businesses don't need tax incentives OR relaxed credit...they need enough orders to warrant hiring more people.

I am 63 and have been challenged and affected by recessions a few times in my life, my husband too. Now that we are passed that stage doesn't mean we don't care. We want good jobs for all Americans and especially for the young people coming up so that they can finish school, get married, start families if they wish. This truly is about the middle class choosing a good life over despair. Please stand together and ask Congress and the Senate to pass the American Jobs Act that President Obama sent to them 10 months ago.

The Tax Code is too complicated to understand. Corporations have an advantage over middle class America because they maintain a staff of lawyers and certified public accountants to avoid paying taxes.

In the city of Gary, where jobs are seriously scarce and hard to find, people are losing their jobs for absolutely nothing. Majority of these businesses don't even follow the policies they have set for themselves. The cost of living and the amount of people either on welfare or unemployed is enormous in this city. I just want the people to have a fair chance at keeping their jobs.

Any new people considering running for public office MUST work full time at minimum wage for ONE YEAR of their life. Not as a kid living with their family, but as an adult. No supplements or help from friends or family. Too long we've been electing people who are from rich families and far removed from the reality most Americans have to face at one time or another. If they wish to represent us, they must live as most of us.

Many Americans are out of work and suffering financially, and Republican Mitt Romney claims to have solutions for the nation's economic problems. However, he says he will not release his tax return until after the presidential election, and he has put millions of dollars in secret off-shore accounts to avoid paying federal taxes. Any person seeking to become President of the United States should be totally ethical and transparent in their financial dealings and pay their fair share of taxes to contribute to the common good. Mitt Romney needs to release his complete financial information so that Americans can judge for themselves whether he is trustworthy, has the nation's best interests at heart, and is playing by the same rules as the rest of us. "For where your teasure is, there will your heart be also." (Matthew 6:21)

Congress' reelection promised more jobs for the American people but in all actuality, their main focus has been to stop the President from passing any kind of job's bill. They should be held accountable for stalling legislation to put Americans back to work.

Rep don't understand capitalistic society at all. We have capitalistic means of production, but society is human capital and this is crucial to value of the dollar to EURO ,yen etc.Healthly society, with strong middle class , without waste, excessive pays.Money belongs to People -taxpayers, not to banks.We have to correct money flow -credits to save capitalism , not to destroys the way Republican are thinking - auto-destruction. No gold standard, wealth is relative to society capital.

This is a petition that law be written to enact a national land value tax on behalf of the poor, the environment and the preservation of our country as the great bastion and vanguard of liberty and light in the world, the inspiration for peace. Land value taxation discourages land price speculation, the profitability of which raises the cost of living to the maximum amount society can bear, but produces zero goods or services, causing the increasing wealth and income disparities plaguing our country and the unnecessary destruction of our environment.

Encourage jobs and increased earnings for Americans by rescinding the tax collected on SSI benefits, paid to retirees who return to work and earn more than $13,000/yr. in new wages.

My name's Pepe and I make $8.50 per hour -- barely enough to get by on in South Florida. On July 4th, I had the opportunity to ask Bill Young, the man who represents me in Congress, if he might support raising the minimum wage. His response, before walking away: "GET A JOB." Bill Young is out of touch and doesn't understand how the minimum wage impacts my life. Yet he doesn't have any problem increasing his own wage on the backs of taxpayers. I recently found out that he voted to increase his own salary to nearly $175,000! Join me in asking Congressman Young for an apology and a real answer about why he doesn't support raising the minimum wage.
