A little more taxes? And that stops being a request by the government when?
In order to correct the existing unsavory state of affairs created by government, the government is requesting that we all work harder, and if necessary, we should procure more than one job to pay the government more of our money, liberties, and property in order to for the government to maintain the lifestyle by which it has become accustomed.
The government will also continue to require the citizens to retain it as our debt payment manager. In other words, it will be necessary to cut down our individual living standards in order to pay the government more money to be lavishly squandered while simultaneously seeking new ways to force us all to contribute more than ever before.
You can now sleep at night knowing that the U.S. Government has seen the errors of its way and now wants to attempt to redeem it self by making our lives even more miserable than what we’ve paid them to make it to be over the last 250 years.
Class warfare is raising costs on those that can't afford it. But go ahead and have all your GOP favorites running elections this year to campaign on raising costs for those that can't afford it.
But no GOP candidate will because they KNOW they will get their asses handed to them by the public.
Medicare and medicaid, by increasing cost sharing.
Instead of retirees paying what they do now, they can have their monthly premiums increased by $20-30 and their co pays increase by $10-20.
making the rich pay more to seduce the votes from the envious has nothing to do with making things less costly for the unproductive or those truly unable to "afford it"
They already have cost sharing through Medicare, why would seniors choose to accept even higher costs for their health care?

You don't think govt. increases costs on people? Do you really think that people not paying any FIT have any concern about raising FIT on those that do? When you take all the money from those evil rich people who then funds your pet projects?
And who was in control of the Congress during those years?

While I agree in principle, I have to disagree in effect.
The government is not responsible, nor are it's beneficiaries.
So, we gotta do, what we gotta do.
Lol and you think the wealthy have any problems raising the costs on those that can't afford it?
Raising costs on people that can't afford it is like squeezing blood from a turnip. That isn't going to lower costs either.
Well, Harry, that's one of the problems. We seem to placate to the government's irresponsibilities. As the old saying goes... "If there are no consequences for inappropriate behavior...why stop?"
It's my contention that when we refuse to placate to the government's irresponsibilities, we'll begin to see more appropriate behaviors.
What forces you to buy from those evil rich people?
For some, their very lives depend on healthcare. But then you only care about the almighty dollar and not people.
Because it was spent. Because government is unable to live within its means. Because the rate of spending growth has shot through the roof in the last 20 years. Take your pick or all of the above. D is looking pretty accurate to me.
Tax cuts are NOT responsible, government spending IS. I keep hearing Cat saying it was because revenue dropped, well what the heck is wrong with government spending less money? Have we ever tried actually cutting spending or have we only slowed spending growth? Im going with option 2 on that question. We have never actually cut spending. We have only slowed spending growth.
How and why is this hard to understand?
Insider trading is illegal. UNLESS you are in congress. You can do it there legally at this point in time.
If the poor faced taxes that would increase when they voted for big spending democrats that would do far more to reduce the deficit than the asswipe in chief's claim that raising taxes on those who pay too much will
For some, their very lives depend on healthcare. But then you only care about the almighty dollar and not people.
Can I cut the military? How much?Everything!
Name one program that should not be cut.
No, it did not.GDP grew from 9.9 trillion to 14.4 trillion in 8 years of Bush, name for me any other modern day President that had a 4.5 trillion increase in GDP.
that's the typical rot from the left. the nonsense that they care about people and not money complete bs
What benefits the economy is a growing economy and job creation. Investment capital is designed to do both
Your going to have to convince the constituency of the government to be more responsible.
Good luck.
Like I said, I totally agree in principle, but the rest of the country doesn't want to accept their fair share of blame, for their damage, they've done.
either way, if the poor and middle class were subjected to tax hikes everytime the government spent more the mass of voters would start punishing big spenders (no matter what party)Yeah because as we all know the GOP never spends or increases govt. oh wait, the GOP are big spenders and increase govt. Sounds like you are full of BS.
I don't see the left trying to increase costs like the right is. You are the one with the elitist attitude. Most lawyers would better serve mankind on the bottom of the ocean.
