I for one have no problem raising taxes through user taxes..

Even the Obama debt commission results showed we need to spread the tax base by taxing those who arent paying.

Which might be a reasonable response if the middle class wasn't being hollowed out.

The middle class being hollowed out because of Democrats exporting jobs oversees and importing foreigners to fill jobs that can't be exported.

Do you find it at all ironic that they left celebrates the most liberal successful cities which have a huge number of capitalistic companies, like Seattle, while rarely they celebrate those cities who have a lack of capitalism, like Detroit?
