The problem with America is the generalization of both sides and unwillingness to combine policies in order to create something effective that serves all people in the nation, not just the rich, not just the poor. Instead we stay stagnant with both sides backed by greedy interest groups and lobbyists rather than working in the interest of the USA.

The problem with our country today is the lack of ACTION. The problem with our country today is that we do not utilize all avenues of economic and social improvement. We need to raise taxes. We pay lower taxes than any other developed nation and many undeveloped nations while maintaining a military enough to police many of those.

Revenue is important, as are spending cuts. Why can't we get along and overcome our personal greed for the greater good of our country?

You're okay with giving your life for your country but not okay with making a corporate CEO pay the same amount of taxes as you do?
