It's not coincidence that we have the lowest income tax ever and the country is broke.

you are right. Talk about increasing taxes but not a cut in spending. It was not long ago that Obama was talking about borrowing / spending more money so he can stimulate the economy by hiring more government workers.

Taxes need to go up until we pay down our debt.

Then we need to let the Bush tax cuts for everyone. Everyone loses the tax cuts.

I don't know why anyone is talking about lowering taxes when we are borrowing 4 million dollars a day. What if we ran our family finances like this? What we need to cut are expenses and not SS and the military. I think just about everybody under 30 must be living off the government in some way. We need to add taxes to products that are coming into this country.

We need to ship out any immigrant that is not paying their own way. When will people see this is how our country got into such a mess. The expenses we are paying for medical, housing, college, school, food for these people who pay no taxes are destroying our country. I know some think it sounds cruel, but unless we speak up about this and let the people running for office know we have had enough this will continue--until there is no more country.

Has anyone noticed how many towns are going bankrupt?

Sending out the stimulus money to everyone was just about the dumbest thing I have ever heard of in my lifetime. Just plain stupid idea.

Funny how the left doesn't know the difference.

PS, a lot are right but after the "you didn't build that" statement most small business are now right.

Get a clue!
I'm sure you have mountains of facts to back up your wild allegations that small business will begin massive layoffs if taxes are restored on the top 2%, otherwise you need to lay off the Beck and fox, it warps the brain,...

BEGIN?? LOL, its already happened and happening and that is just on the threat of raising taxes. Do you wonder why companies are not spending? holding on to their cash? cash rich?.

How about the millions of people who lost their job already. This is a result of the threat of higher taxes. The word you should pay special attention to is "threat" of tax increases. The proof is already in existence and you don't even know it. Another reason is business owners know other companies are not investing or spending which reduces demand.

Of course you believe everything you are told from the left and don't even wonder why companies are not hiring. You are not a critical thinker, obviously.

But.. but.. but the left things we need more spending lol. They are being told therefore they believe that we can spend our way out of this mess. Obama knows exactly what he is doing. The left can not see it and the right can. Obama laughs at his faithful followers as they help him achieve "his" dream.
