Let's spread the agony around to everyone not just a select few.
Why don't we cut the spending in half, and lower taxes? Duh!

Have you ever read the Constitution? Do you know what the purpose of the Federal Government is?

Maybe you should read it. Learn.

That was all said tongue in cheek. Of course it makes more sense to cut spending money we don't have but good common sense seems to be in short supply by all parties in DC.

It would be a good idea to actually get everyone to pay some federal tax. Too many even getting uneran income much less paying taxes.

Yes because the top 2-5% of wage earners only pay 20% of taxes while the bottom 50% pay a whopping 3%.
