swimmer, slip, big fish, mike P,
If you look at the tone of my posts, I am raising topics for consideration, not saying its how I feel. Think them through. I am not saying carpenters are the same as AIG. I am saying if you spend money to bailout, look at the consequences for your actions. I assume construction and others will get overtime as a result of the stimulus, no? So is that greed? Is that sacrifice? Thats what Obama is using against Wall St. For the record - I do not think the AIG bonuses were paid only to execs, they were across the board and that fact is being manilpulated for political purposes.
MikeP - I suggested looking at the state pensions and other state expenses as way to avoid the gas tax. In this economy we should look at saving and not taxing. State workers receive benefits that 99% of the population do not receive, and as state employees I and ever other taxpayer has a right to have an opinion. I have had a cut in my pay, my benefits due to the currect reccession, and if I now have to pay more money on gas, I think its a vialble option that the state reduce its expenses and that may mean impacting state workers. Sorry
