And the other side bankrupted us with unpayable entitlements. The root cause is that both Parties are fiscally irresponsible and spend all their time blaming the other party, just like you do, instead of realizing that both of them are problem. The top 3 spending problems are Social Security/Pensions, Health Care, and the Military. The lack of fortitude to tackle those 3 out of control line items are exactly why we are in this mess. We simply can't afford the level of spending on those 3 items that we have. And the American people simply cannot pay an additional extra $1 trillion a year in taxes to close our deficits. The 99% have already been crucified by Bush and Obama to recapitalize the criminal banksters. They don't have any money left. And the rich in this country don't have enough money to provide $1 trillion a year more in tax revenues. You take $1 trillion out of business investment a year to fund these 3 items and you will kill our economy, which again will crucify the already dead body of the 99%.

The only sane solution is not more taxes, but a $1 trillion cut to Social Security/Pensions, Health Care, and the Military. You don't want to talk about that because you are biased. And the GOP and the DNC don't want to talk about that, because they are bought and paid for by the lobbyists and by the extremists in this country.

The only people who are sane and reasonable and unbiased will openly point out that the fundamental problem here is we are spending beyond our means. End of story.
