Steve, they're quite willing to collect 2.4 trillion in taxes. They're willing to collect it on someone else's watch, when all the money they're borrowing to reduce taxes and increase spending will be paid through increased taxes. At that time, of course, they will have shifted a mojor share of the proportionate tax burden from the wealthy to the middle class so we'll have to pay for our loans and those of the wealthy as well.

It's a win-win because at that time the administration will undoubtedly be a Democratic one.

Honest; well no, but then they don't seem to care as long as a gullible public keeps on biting on those tasty plastic worms.

I believe everyone's taxes should be raised to equal spending. If congress is going to approve that spending, then it must also state to all voters that their taxes are going up, for each and everyone of them. They should not go an insufficient increase and excuse most taxpayers from shouldering the burden.

Granted, the idea is not popular, it is clear the majority here want to pass the buck to a small percentage and to get a free ride on the spending.
