re: There is a large block of eligible voters who don't have to pay taxes to support spending - therefore have no incentive to reign in spending. Listen Jozef, your rallying cry of Tax The Poor!!!! just doesn't have a lot of resonance. In the end, the poor pay a much larger percentage of their 'discretionary income' in taxes than the rich. They might not pay federal income tax, but they pay 5%-7% sales tax and all the myriad others from taxes on federal, state and regional on gasoline to phone taxes to liquor taxes to taxes on cigarettes and toll roads and utilities. (All the taxes that are not progressive). They pay property taxes even if they rent because it is included in the cost of their rent. In the end they are getting zapped worse than you or I.
