The key point of the article, I think, is that Japan's people are doing quite well, and their infrastructure is world class. The opposite of what's happening here. And yet they are rediculed by you and others.

This country is falling apart, and no one is willing to invest to bring us back to world class. Your children will have to deal with 3rd world infrastructure. For most of my lifetime that wasn't the case, we made the investments.

It's a simple problem. We don't have the will to raise taxes to a level that has in the past sustained our country. That's it. The money is there. The rich who have benefited so much from the sacrifice of previous generations need to be taxed at the same rate, so that we can catch up and again become a great country.

Name s great country with "small government", anytime in history. Name a great country with low tax rates, anytime in history. You get what you pay for.
