The three industries that need the most government regulation and enforcement are:
(1) GMO makers like Monsanto
(2) Oil and Gas companies
(3) Banksters

Those are the three industries that have the most potential to do serious, long-term damage to society.

It’s comical listening to the right extol the virtues of tax cuts. One of the best economies the U.S. ever had was back in the 1940’s when the top marginal tax rate was 90%.

Guess when another period of great economic growth occurred? Back in the 1990’s right before the Bush tax cuts went into effect.

The Bush tax cuts have been in place since 2001. If those tax cuts are so beneficial to economic growth and job creation, then whey have we seen such horrid economic growth and job creation (not to mention wage stagnation) since then?

America is tired of the BS from the right. It’s time to raise taxes on the top income earners at least to the levels of the 1990’s. If we really want to see roaring economic growth, the top marginal rate needs to be somewhere close to 90%.

You’ve certainly done an excellent job of presenting your viewpoint. It’s tough to argue against idealogues who fail to understand the difference between prohibition of an activity and a tax on an activity that is considered to be disfavored by society.

The CAFE mpg standards do not prohibit low mpg cars. Instead, manufacturers who don’t meet the mpg standards are merely assessed a fine. In the past, Chrysler, Volkswagen, BMW, Ferrari, Porsche, and Maserati have failed to meet the standard. They were merely assessed a fine which they presumably passed onto consumers.

So there can be no loss of an ‘inalienable right’ here. The most that could be argued is that wasting oil and polluting the environment should not be taxed. Not to mention that CAFE has been in place since 1975, so it’s a little late and quite disingenuous for an idealogue to be getting upset over loss of an ‘inalienable right’ when they never even realized said ‘right’ had been missing since the ’70s. However, some people hear the word ‘government’ and lose all sense of reason.
