Go research tax rates of Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, Germany and learn something.
We are not Eurotrash and will not accept higher taxes.

Most of Europe is socialist. If you like socialism, feel free to emigrate there.

I think demographics invariably come into play. When it comes to 'share the wealth', it usually works when the overwhelming masses are prosperous and productive. In this country, multicultralism has its drawbacks. When it comes to higher taxes, achievement by race and ethnicity is examined, and this leads to in-fighting and 'who gets what'.

What a folly because the more money they take in the more waste and corruption will occur.

Reduce the expenditure on war industry-tax on common people will reduce automatically.

I say no.
Based on what? What problems? Do you have any clue of what you're talking about or are you just writing some post to help yourself FEEL better about your opinions?

Those Eurotrash gave you that language that you don't even know how to use properly. You're missing a second we in there. I guess all of those taxes I paid to put you through grade school were wasted.

Let me guess, you are in favor of taking money from others so you can use a Govt program or benefit that others have paid for....huum, the desires of a few are naught if it means helping the all..
How about you act like a grown up and debate like one. Did the guy make any false statements? If not, then don't assume his opinion. To do so is asinine. One can state facts without having a particular opinion.
