The gubment spends to much!!!! Get it?!?!?!? They spend waaay more than they take in. They give billions away to stupid crap and other countries. Thats the crap that needs to stop!!! To even discuss this tax thing when these "rich" folks are doing what is legal and many are business owners who pay taxes and support many jobs for people who pay taxes. I mean COME ON its a diversion by a man and party that has failed miserably and you guys are to smart to really think this topic of taxing more would amount to a hill of beans. Why not be accountable for the money they spend first?? Can you agree that's the first step?? Going after more money from rich people or the Chinese is denial.
Exactly, we don't have a revenue problem in this country, we have a spending problem. I don't have the specific facts in front of me, but I read somewhere that even if the government collected every cent earned from the richest Americans we would still run a deficit. Taxing our way out of this problem clearly is not the answer. The sooner people understand that, and quit viewing everything through the spectrum of class warfare, the sooner this country can try and have an honest debate about the best way to move forward.
