A few extra percentage points on the upper brackets makes sense to me. In boom times we simply cannot be running $T deficits.


Extra tax revenue is always used to fund more spending/vote buying. If it was actually used for debt reduction, I would be willing to pay more.

We cannot have a balanced budget without major changes in SS and Medicare. I start on Medicare tomorrow, but would gladly continue to buy private insurance for 5 more years if it was part of a real entitlement reform.
