"For taxes to remain where they are, Washington would need to end Medicare as we know it, end Social Security as we know it, severely shrink the military — or do some combination of the above. another keynesian socialist speaks with forked tongue. first, no matter how high taxes are, there isn't enough money to keep everything going like it is now. as a matter of fact, there never was. second, if you want to increase 'revenue' (not taxes), you need to remove regulations, stop damaging, counter productive spending AND decrease taxes! in other words, broaden the tax base and free up business to provide jobs. step back from socialism and go back to free market capitalism. but no, socialists want to make everybody equally poor (except themselves), even if they have to destroy the economy to do it. after all, it's the only 'fair' thing to do.
