We didn't have $4-5 gallon gas then, heating bills were cheaper, in turn everything else was cheaper. I think the problem was my income didn't go up but everything else did. BTW, east coast here.

That's even better, cheaper, and should be

Cheaper plans -- $107 to $220
There are cheaper plans for the child, just checked and they range from 107 with 1000 deductible up to 220 for HMO. I had to go without health insurance for a long while after getting divorced and getting my life back together, did not ask the government to come in and save me and at an older age, have a lot more chance of medical problems than young kids. When I was a kid there was no health insurance, hardly went to the doctor. I just feel that middle income people (over 80,000) can afford to support their kids with insurance. Do not carry it on yourself and cover your kids if you feel so adamant about it. And as for the cigarette tax covering it, once they find out the administation cost of it, then they will have to tax the rest of us to fund it. Also every government plan starts out great and then they cut the benefits to the doctors as they don't have the money and pretty soon there are no doctors that will accept those patients. Seen it time and time again. But like someone else said, give a credit to the family once they pay the premiums for their kids. Government taking care of us is not the answer, at least to me it isn't.
Wouldn't it just be cheaper to
donate condoms to them and tell them to use them? I mean....I think a condom is cheaper than an abortion.
It would be cheaper than smuggling it........LOL

Foreign cars are not better or cheaper.
If they are cheaper it is because they are literally that....cheaper cars. You pay for what you get. I've seen so many American made cars throughout my family where they have put 200,000+ miles on vehicles and they keep going. I've driven so many different types of vehicles since my husband runs a car dealership and I have to say that American trumps foreign any day in my opinion. I will NEVER own a foreign car. Ain't happenin. You will more than likely see my happy butt in a Chevy of some type. I'm currently driving a Chevy Uplander and I friggin LOVE it! I have no problem telling someone their vehicle is a foreign piece of crap. In fact, I recently told my best friend's sister that was what her Honda was. LOL!
Sure they're cheaper. But shouldn't there be

Yes - and payroll would be cheaper, simpler too.
Companies incur unbelievable costs trying to handle withholdings properly. Now, imagine that you've got just two numbers to deal with - 10% or 25%. The savings would be very significant.
I'm surprised by the 10% rate, however. I had always heard from proponents of the flat tax that it would have to be more like 17-20% to keep the government running (even before the government became even more bloated). Of course, they were talking about the same rate for everyone, not a two-tiered system like this, so perhaps the 25% bracket makes up the difference.
Wrong! He gets away with paying cheaper wages
Joe is looking out for Joe, not Bob, Bill, and Brad who are looking for a "good job." Joe will help Joe if he's making that much, believe you me!
