Yes, JDN, you're right in almost everything you say. Taxes are all smoke and mirrors. It's spending that counts because it's ALL going to be paid by us. In addition it's fundamentally lame and dishonest for the democrats or the republicans to promise all the programs they promise to get votes. They can't do it within the framework of what we're willing to actually pay for. What's even more dishonest is to promise it, borrow to pay for it, and then call it a tax cut in the process.

The middle class will always pay more in taxes because the middle class, as a group, makes the most income. We should not, however, be forced to pay a progressive tax rate WHEN THE VERY WEALTHY PAY A REGRESSIVE TAX RATE. What would make a politician want to shift the tax burden from the very wealthy to the rest of us????? Could it be campaign finance or the revolving door that politicians walk through? g.
