The federal budget was $2.9 trillion in 2008. It is $3.8 trillion in 2012. Which part of that do you NOT understand? That doesn't include state insanity... Taxing "the wealthy" earners more would cover a week of this spending. Only a Paul Krugman level intellect would think taxing more solves the problem. usgovernmentspending.com I recommend confiscating the wealth of everyone over $200 million - all of it. That would surely change people's minds.
