It couldn't be that the "1%" pay well over 40% of all Federal Taxes, could it?
But they earn about 70% of the wealth.
Don't tell me that's fair.

You need to consider that these cuts just bring us back down to 2009 spending levels. The Federal Goverment needs to rein it in my man!
You dont get to have our FN guns, and its already unfair that what I pay in goes right back out as a EIC credit. Next time you are rude to someone at the Walmart remember that they might have paid for that new car of yours, not the Federal Goverment!
The GOP did end the Bush era Tax cuts for those making $250,000 or higher. This is not enough for the WH as they just want a blank check and expect us to lay down and pay for it. How is that ok? I think you should be askig why they will cut education before touching foriegn aid to Israel et al!
I guess the 15 million people that live in Israel really need the billions in US aid every year, but really should we put their needs before our own?edit on 4-3-2013 by Donkey_Dean because: (no reason given)

The USA is NOT Greece.
The sequester has introduced a new idea to Washington D.C.
Spend less at the U.S. Government. Then approve the Keystone Pipeline and GROW the
private sector instead.
Joy and prosperity in the private sector will replace the Doom & Gloom in Washington D.C.
