EVERYTHING! The only "untouchable" is interest on the debt!

Right no0w i do not want a rise intaxes by dropping any of the Bush tax cuts because the economy is too unstable now. When we are on better ground we need to pt cuts into palce to encouarge investment in private enterprise. We also need to cut spending all across the baosrd and then raise that across the board on individual income. that will ebnecesary because we have accumlated so mcuh debt in the alst 11 months that threatens us not just now but in the future decades.Unless we do favor expanded business we will be like euroep and suffer higher and higher unmeploeymnt as the norm.

Remember, a "tax cut" is really just allowing workers to keep more of THEIR money. It's THEIR money to start with. It does NOT belong to the government.

If we allow all people to keep more of their money they do two things regardless of their level of income.

1. They spend money. Almost everyone spends more money when they have to pay less taxes.

2. They save money. And guess what saving money does. It creates capital which can be used by business to expand and by consumers to buy homes and cars.


And finally, making $250k is not anywhere near "wealthy". "Wealthy" people don't have to work. High income workers are not wealthy since they have to work for a living.

Statistically
The bush era TAX CUTS for the wealthy created FEW JOBS. A proven statistic FACT.
You can look it up yourself, since I am against wasting my valuable time doing OTHER PEOPLE'S HOMEWORK for them. I also cannot make people believe what they don't want to believe, since I am not caibou barbie or john mc same. People will follow what they hear on faux news too.

That's absolutely correct, thanks.
If we cut military funding, we make our country less secure.
How about we cut funding to foreign nations who are not a democracy? let's begin with egypt and other middle east countries who treat their people barbarically? Let's end the wars, and start spending tax money at home.
BTW, yes, winter does s**k, but not you.

If bush era tax cuts remain in effect, it will add $39B to the deficit, you want that? omg. Bush tax cuts were NEVER PAID FOR! Why do we think there was a deficit when Mobama took office??!!!!

The poll illustrates a common belief ingrained in the masses - that we need government to be the benefactor. But few consider that anything the government gives, is taken from someone else - reduced by the skim taken by their magnanimous administration.

No matter what it is - government's solution results in more government.
But when the problem is TOO MUCH government, the solution is not founded upon feeding the government more revenue and power.

We are swiftly approaching the point when we will have zero government - thanks to collapse. Perhaps we should seriously consider paring down government by 99%, and keep that 1% doing constitutionally mandated duties... like securing inalienable rights to life, liberty and property ownership.

Wrong. They will be paid for, unlike the bush era tax cuts which were not. OMG. You must be relying on the Right Wing fuzzy math!
