I genuinely think the left doesn't care. I was listening to Juan Williams tout the "shared sacrifice" line the Dems have been mouthing, and I get the feeling they really don't care about collecting more taxes by lowering tax rates. Obama can't run on his record, so he is basing his whole campaign on class warfare and this is all about punishing the wealthy.
It's going to get real ugly. The race card is coming next.
First, go elsewhere and rent if you don't like it.
The cost of a trip to mars is cost prohibitive. Just about everywhere else on the planet is having rents go up as people move out of foreclosed houses and into rentals.

More than likely your landlord has tons of higher expenses since the day you moved in.
That aside, remove some of the hundreds of restrictive business laws of the last few years, get tort reform done and lower the rates to Reagan days and you'd see businesses blooming and an increase to the treasury.
Just add more money into circulation and we will see falling rents. The fed is trying this but we have too much debt and we aren't in a position to take on more debt...
This is only true while operating on a certain portion of the Laffer Curve, and a small one at that. For the most part this is a myth that has never been proven with empirical evidence
Where we will ready colect more money is to make based pure on income.That would bvroaden the tax base and lower thr rates.It woul;d then be much easier to collect taxes and catch cheats which lone would pay the government debt off.
Whaaaa???? You talking sales tax, property tax, income tax, withholding tax, gas tax, cigarette tax???? All of the above, none of the above?
Or do you just have an issue with your rent being raised?
Sorry I wasn't clear. I listen to too much talk radio and I frequently hear the hosts talk about how tax revenue goes up when income tax rates are cut. (They usually use Reagan as the prime example of this.)
Now if income tax rates are cut AND tax collections go up, there MUST be more income sloshing around the economy.
I'd just like to know where all this extra income is going because the people I know aren't seeing it in their pockets.
With all due respect, I don't think you can make broad sweeping statements about the economy and taxes based on what you personally pay in rent.
True, I am not a representative sample.
