Now you are talking, bentway. I WANT them to raise taxes, especially on the rich.
But what is pure partisan bullshit is for you to really believe that is going to happen. First off, the GOP is in the ascendancy, like it or not, and I don't. That means the GOP is going to slam down any attempt to raise taxes. I would be my house on that.
Second, Obama has now pushed for an gotten a payroll tax DECREASE twice! Your own damned Democrats are LOWERING taxes, not increasing them. So exactly why do you think anyone in leadership today is going to raise taxes? Man, can I have some of what you are smoking?
bentway, I'm with you 100% on the possible solutions to the Entitlement problems. They are entirely solvable. In fact, our debt and deficits are also entirely solvable. However, the leaders in both the GOP and the Dem party are not interested in solution, because they don't recognize it as a problem. They all need to go learn the 10 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Folks, why are so many of you living in fantasy land? The mathematics are clear. Stop denying the math and let's have a rational debate about how to get our country back in good fiscal shape, so that our economy can grow. |
