That's strange, everything I've heard from the "terrorist" conservative politicians is NO TAX INCREASES, for anyone.
But I digress, so if we simply increase the taxes on the well off AND expand the tax base, we don't need to reduce spending at all, problem solved... everyone just needs to pay a little more for all these wonderfully fair and necessary government programs. All aboard the Socialism express, next stop Europe.
Or we could reduce our budget back to 1999 levels and everyone gets to keep more of their hard earned money.
It's always laughable when meme and the other liberal shmucks talk about how much revenue we've lost because of the Bush tax cuts... as if it was the government's money in the first place and was somehow shortchanged in the deal. It's a perpetual argument, if we raised taxes on the well off by 7%, then we've still LOST revenue because we could have raised it by 14% and so on and so on and so on... how much revenue have we lost by the bottom 51% paying NO Federal income taxes, let me guess, zero because it would hurt the economy. Yeah, it's not spending that's the problem... it's taxes being too low.
Dolts.
