Re: "Well, it seems you think sky high taxes is a good thing, wehn you say it takes guts to raise them." >>> Of course not! I'm for tearing up the entire tax code, and coming up with a simple, cheaper, fairer alternative that is not riddled with special interest tax breaks. >>> I'm for LOW TAXES and SMALL GOVERNMENT... always have been. >>> All I said was that deliberately running astronomical deficits - and lying to the American public about it - is even worse. To finance WWII, the US raised taxes sky high... because war was serious business and we wanted to get the job over and done with. During Vietnam, Johnson and Nixon raised DOMESTIC and WAR spending, but didn't pay for it... they shouldered it all on the backs of our children and grandchildren. Interest on the deficits they ran up probably cost us 5 times what it would have cost to shoulder the burden in an honest way. >>> We are making the same destructive choices now: refusing to cut expenditures to finance new 'war' spending... refusing to raise taxes temporarily to pay for new 'war' spending. The choice we are making is the worst possible choice: defer all hard decisions and pile all the spending into the deficit. >>> It should be criminal.
