Funny, I didn't call you stupid, but you obviously feel you are by your guilty conscience.

You simply can't justify taxing more because you have no idea how much tax is actually needed. You just have a hatred for those who have been successful for some odd reason. Probably because you know if you could get to where they are, you would not do anything different than they do.

It makes zero sense to raise tax when you admit there is waste in what is being spent now.

I wonder how many of the thousands of people who have already lost their jobs, and the thousands of those who are going to lose their jobs due to layoffs, voted for President Obama?

I wonder if they would have reconsidered their votes if they realized their jobs were at stake?

It's no longer "Ask what you can do for you're country?", it's "Hey country, what are you going to give me?"

It's a shame that this point has finally come where there are more people who want the government to take care of them, than there are people who actually believed in "The American Dream".

Except when we're 16 trillion in the hole and you're not going to get anywhere close to even cutting that in half by trimming the fat alone. Decreased spending, increased revenue. We can talk all day about when the time is right to raise taxes as to not unduly screw an already sluggishly growing economy, but we simply are spending way too much and not taking enough in. I'm absolutely with you, in that the government should first start looking to cut spending before they start digging into my pockets for more, but it's not a matter of IF they need more. It's how much.
