Have you heard of this thing called "austerity measures" going on in countries throughout Europe as one after another fall on their sword of spending more than they take in ?

Not taxing the wealthy, eh? That's funny, because I JUST got paid yesterday, and I can guarantee you a bigger chunk of my paycheck was missing than was yours.

Oh wait, you're one of those pull-cord toys who says "tax the rich!" every time someone asks the question "how do we pay for things?"
