For the sake of argument...lets just say Go ahead and raise taxes on the top 2%... with that done...NOW WHAT!!! Is that additional spending for the left?? Do the dems get to create more entitlements? What exactly does raising taxes on the top 2% accomplish except jobs kill and when will enough be enough?
Cutting programs has to be done, there is no way around it. Unemployment and welfare were not developed to be considered a lifesytyle! Social Security was not meant to be the only source of income for retirement! There are so many duplicated programs out there it is such an enourmous waste. Planned Parenthood for example...virtually every state has family planning programs subsidized by the federal government...so why does the govt have to subsidize planned parenthood too?
So do-tell, raising taxes on the top 2% now and for how long... before your barking to raise it again and again...

QUOTE Because they know spending cuts would never happen. It was a trick question. When billionaires and a President start saying "Look at me, I don't get taxed enough" and prove it, people should wake up and realize that our tax system works in favor of the wealthy. Like I've said for years, tax the rich at the same tax rate as the middle class, problem solved.. I do realize that with the advances in technology that cuts can be made across the board.. My question to you is why do Republicans want to cut so many jobs when our country needs jobs? It wouldn't have anything to do with putting people in the streets for political reasons? Would it? Is something stopping these so called wealthy people that you are saying are just dying to pay more taxes from cutting a check now? You complain about jobs yet your President buys two buses worth over a million each from Canada. But go ahead...bitch about the Republicans.
