re: No, it is not at all a minor issue. If the percentage of taxpayers is say 40% of the population, percentage of voters is say 70%, you need nearly 100% of taxpayers voting for responsibility in spending to prevail. The percentage of taxpayers may be close to 40%, but that is mostly because of children and non-working wives etc. The percentage of voters is well below 70%. I guess we have to agree to disagree if you think "voters who don't pay federal income taxes" are a large swing vote. re: Raise taxes to match spending and the people that count will scream bloody murder. ---------------------------- Well, better to it before we reach the point of no return, where taxpayers are a minority, unable to ever force this kind of discipline. We better do it soon for a lot of good reasons. The minority taxpayer voters isn't one of them. Relax Jozef, the very poor are not living like kings on your tax dollars.
