What specifically does this have to do DAL again? Or are you mere fretting in general?

Isn't there another forum section or are you going to post a link on each airline's board? I saw you posted one on Southwest and AirTran and Delta. Just curious why airlines get links that have nothing do to with the particular board.

Where in the article does it refer specifically to DAL? Or any airlines for that matter? Do you even know what a "Public Employee Union" is? Are you somehow making some lame attempt to connect a "Public Employee Union" to your woes at DAL?

What connection are you trying to make to DAL (specifically) and the article you posted? Please share with the rest of the class for our amusement.

Its called desperation, depression, etc. Someone needs a Prozac refill.

You forgot one important perspective....

Most public sector union pensions are an unsustainable burden on states due in fact to idiocy in collective bargaining. If the states belly up with these obligations, then so be it. Time to renegotiate them. Oh, but let the federal government bail them out with borrowed Chinese cash that are an unsustainable burden on our country that we cannot pay for now. But we'll just get....uh......someone......uh.....who's going to bail us out? Hello.....anybody here.....hello......

When do we wake up?

When?

Don't look to the Republicans. They have hitched their wagon to tax cuts for millionaires.

You think the problem can be solved by simply raising taxes?

Wonder why American business outsource?

Our tax code is the direct cause. We now have the dubious distinction of having the highest corporate tax rate in the world.

Of the 30 countries in the OECD, 27 of them have cut their corporate income tax rates since 2000.


By standing still, the United States has fallen behind

Do you intentionally miss the point, or do you just not get it?

I get exactly what your point is, but you are unable to "get it" or even see it with your class warfare, union-hugger, liberal-progressive, Obama goggles. Your liberal progressive view is that anyone that makes more then you should be classified as rich. Even if you raised the tax rate to 100% it would have little effect on reducing the deficit. History has shown that lower taxes increases revenue, yet you choose to ignore the facts and participate (like sheeples) in talking points from the socialist administration and democratic party.

Taxing the rich myth
Myth 1: Raising taxes on the rich will close budget deficits.
Truth: Increasing the progressivity of the income tax code by raising the top two rates will not close the deficit. In fact, it will lead to more revenue volatility, which will lead to larger future deficits.

Myth 2: The rich do not pay their fair share.
Truth: The top 20 percent of income earners pay almost all federal taxes.

Myth 3: The income tax code favors the rich and well-connected.
Truth: The bottom 50 percent of income earners pay almost no income taxes and the poor and middle-income earners benefit greatly from the tax code.

Myth 4: It is all right to raise tax rates on the rich-- they can afford it.
Truth: Just because someone can afford to pay higher taxes does not mean he should be forced to do so.

Myth 5: Higher tax rates in the 1990s did not hurt economic growth, so it is all right to raise them to those levels again.
Truth: High tax rates in the 1990s were a contributing factor to the 2001 recession and returning to those rates will damage the already severely weakened economy.

Myth 6: The 2001 and 2003 tax cuts did not generate strong economic growth.
Truth: The tax cuts generated strong economic growth.

Myth 7: Raising the top two income tax rates will not negatively impact small businesses because only 2 percent of them pay rates at that level.
Truth: Raising the top two income tax rates will negatively impact almost three-fourths of all economic activity created by small businesses.

A free society is not a zero-sum game in which every gain is offset by someone's loss.

Maryland created a special tax on rich people that was supposed to bring in $106 million. Instead, the state lost $257 million. Income tax rates go up, rich taxpayers vanish.

More than 1.5 million NY state residents left for other parts of the United States from 2000 to 2008, according to the report from the Empire Center for New York State Policy. It was the biggest out-of-state migration in the country. What's worse is that the families fleeing New York are being replaced by lower-income newcomers, who consequently pay less in taxes.
It all adds up to staggering loss in taxable income. During 2006-2007, the "migration flow" out of New York to other states amounted to a loss of $4.3 billion.

N.J. loses $70B in wealth during five years as residents depart
More than $70 billion in wealth left New Jersey between 2004 and 2008 as affluent residents moved elsewhere, according to a report released Wednesday that marks a swift reversal of fortune for a state once considered the nation’s wealthiest.

D.C. Cigarette Tax Revenues Continue to Plunge After Rate Hike
The District of Columbia raised it tax on cigarettes from $2 a carton to $2.50 a carton. As a result, DC collected $4.9 million less during the period October 2009 through April 2010 than it did the prior period covering the same months. Extrapolating this number to a year equates to an annual decrease of $8.4 million.

I wasn't aware there was a tax cut for anyone. I thought the present rate was being preserved.

Despise those millionaires who invest their capital into things like airlines, automobiles and a myriad of industrial ventures that gives America jobs. Or is it governments responsibility to create jobs?
