Don't just raise taxes while still spending out of control like both parties are currently doing.
Wow. After your previous rants, I'm a bit surprised that you support Obama's position on spending.
LOL Obama's position on spending is raise taxes while continuing to spend. So no, I don't support the Obmessiah's position.
Spending isn't the issue people make it out to be. They love to, because China, but China barely has any of our debt.
Taxation is a problem. We need to go back to the same marginal tax rates as when we had a strong middle class. People act like it's a recent thing that the middle class is in decline, as if it can happen in 4 years instead of 30.
Pretty much there's a nice divide between people that still believe America is the end all and be all in the world, and that it can just print personal income, and people that realize that America is competing on a global economy and that personal income is disappearing to other nations yet somehow growing at the very top. That growth is coming from somewhere. If it isn't other nations it must be... the middle class!
Taxes are the lowest they've been across the board for the middle class in a long time. How hard is it to fathom that the 1% can't cover everything, they're already taxed more than anyone else and those people at the bottom that rake in all the handouts pay zero.
The issue is most definitely spending, you can't spend more than you take in and expect to prosper. Common sense beamer come on.
Once again it's the same ol song and dance, tax the rich, they'll pay for it all. Class warfare rah rah rah.
I can't fucking believe Americans want another 4 years of record debt and unemployment. Though when you look at the popular vote, Mittens clearly won. Might be time to revisit that whole electoral college bullshit and why an entire state that's pretty much all red, can flip to blue based on a single county and vise versa.
