No amount of additional taxation will pay for the bloated government we now have. Massive cuts are the only thing that will save us from eventual insolvency.

"If you want to have a defense apparatus that dwarfs that of the rest of the world then you need to pay for it. " I don't want that. I want us to quit being "the world's last superpower". I sick of paying for it, with crappy healthcare, and taxes that fund the overseas corporate operations protected by our bloated military. Our military doesn't keep America safe - it protects the overseas operations of American corporations. But we citizens PAY for it, not the corporations.

Al, Why does a tax cut that was designed to be temporary become a bargaining chip long since it's term has expired? I agree. Let all the tax cuts expire. Then we'll see just how much the Bush tax cuts actually helped the middle class. If you want to have a defense apparatus that dwarfs that of the rest of the world then you need to pay for it. You realize that defense is now 20% of federal spending, and that represents a reduction from 25% back during the Bush years? cbpp.org Tenchusatsu
