JF, If the political leaders said "OK, this is what we want to do, this is why we want to do it, and it's going to cost each American $xxx this year in taxes to accomplish our goals". At least that would promote a healthy debate.

I like the part in boldface, especially since 96% of all taxes are paid by the upper half of wage earners, and the top 5% pay 53%.

I know, you're thinking, "Why have 'tax cuts for the rich' when we're financing a war on debt?" I just hope that in the midst of this healthy debate, people realize the government is only spending the money of half its constituents.
