I favor a return to tax rates of the Clinton era and with that, would not object to budget cuts of an equal dollar amount.

>Maybe instead of a tax increase, we raise everybody's income by 10%, that would result in more than a 10% increase in federal revenue since people would end up in higher brackets.

Here comes the big LIE, that tax breaks to rich people yield more govt. revenues.

Yes I do favor a tax increase for everybody combined with an equal amount of budget cuts

People are just going to earn less if we tax them more. Do you think we should force them to make the same amount once we raise taxes? Make it illegal to take a pay cut? I personally took a 40% pay cut two years ago because I didnt want to pay the taxes.
