The time has come for a sales tax on Wall Street transactions. Such a thing will curb investment for short term profits and decrease the pressure CEO’s have to move jobs overseas. Stop the Trans Pacific Partnership, the biggest free income redistribution trade treaty ever for the USA. It’ll be a massive tax on the middle class, as more of their jobs and tax base are shipped to third world nations, like Vietnam.
New Balance shoes are still made in the United States. However, the Trans Pacific Pact may eliminate or lower tariffs on products exported to the USA. New Balance executives fear lowering those tariffs will compel them to ship their remaining US jobs overseas.

What’s this? Senator Lindsey Graham is latest Republican to disavow tax pledge

Has Senator Lindsey Graham gone insane? He is committing treason against the Grover Norquist Republican party by disavowing his pledge to cut taxes. In other words, he is putting his country ahead of his political party. “Graham said: “‘I will violate this pledge, long story short, for the good of the country, only if Democrats do entitlement reform.'” Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss disavowed the pledge of Grover Norquist a few days back, in favor of the pledge of allegiance to the flag and all that it stands, which has nothing to do with Norguist.
Entitlement reform is interesting if only because the Social Security Trust Fund has a $2.5 trillion surplus, which collects $118 billion a year in interest. Naturally, the senator, along with a ton of Democrats, want to reduce the standard of living of the aged by cutting their SS payment.
