We have a "GOVERNMENT" problem.

The government is too irresponsible with money.

Liberals want to get rid of tax breaks for the wealthy and large corporations. I support the tax breaks for poor and middle class individuals and families. So I say no.

People can be fiscally conservative and socially liberal, can't they?

In other words, let's expand social programs but let others pay for it.

Well, Warren Buffett is a hypocrite, begging to pay more taxes while:

1) His company owes a Billion Dollars in back taxes dating back a decade

2) His company lobbys ($) for tax breaks for jet owners

3) His own plan to make himself pay more, doesn't really make him pay more.

How do you figure? It looks to me like Buffett wanted to raise capital gains and dividend taxes, which comprise most of his personal income.

Both parties have suggested trimming out deductions, subsidies and loopholes, but as long as they are there there is nothing wrong in taking advantage of them.
