Well someone has got to pay for those wars that George started, they don't come for free ya know.
And the Medicare Prescription thingy, and the deregulation of the financial markets (Credit Default Swap anyone?), and in general the misguided policies of the Republican party.
Lets just just pay for their MISTAKES, deny them the right to fook it up again, and call it a decade.
I make $40k a year, and I endorse this message.

It's about damn time. Maybe after a few years of actual revenue the republicans can quit moaning about the deficit and the debt.

If they try to raise my taxes...then they'll be getting a baby goat, or veggies from my garden. What they do with it when they get it is not my problem. They've taken all they are going to get out of me money wise.

That's the secret they don't want the masses to know.. They can't tax carrots easily but they can take a chicken or a goat.
In the meantime, money that doesn't exist is taken from our pay packets every week.
And now to destroy any ideas you might have about last chance survival in England::
they have imposed a hosepipe ban.
You can blame the gov't for selling it all to private water companies who eventually sold off many of their reservoirs and storage tanks..

Why we are so focused on how much they take versus how much they spend is beyond me.

Letting just the 2001 & 2003 tax cuts expire would net about $500 billion. The deficit is about $1.1 trillion.
The answers to our debt and deficit aren't just cutting spending or raising taxes. They're a combination of both.

The short term reduced rate special has simply come to an end, that is all.
Americans still pay some of the
lowest taxes in the Western World, and have some of the cheapest gas prices.
Quit whining. You don't like it? Take a look at what we pay in Canada or what they're paying in the UK, for both taxes and gasoline.
