Its a combination of the two, skul. Get your head out of your ass. Taxes have been too low for two long. Two wars with tax cuts. Yeah, great idea. :facepalm:
Unless you plan to eliminate the department of defense you aren't trimming the budget without some taxes.
Just for you guys that don't pay any.You just as well put neon sign on your back--I'm a dead beat.
I been around the block 60 years and have yet to hear the 1st tax payer complain taxes were to low.:facepalm:
The people that vote these politicians in are as responsible as politicians themselves.
Case in point--Who would have ever thought the U.S. would have people/politicians arguing over whether the gov should have to balance budget--and go as far as calling those who think they should- terrorists.
20 years ago when 80% of people paid taxes- this discussion wouldn't even be a consideration.
Now we have 50% paying no taxes and it's totally diff story.
It's simple logic
You have those paying no taxes/on the gov tit-----in debt-paying minimums on their credit cards-using one to pay the other--
--and those that pay taxes--balance their budgets--live within their means-
--and each will gravitate towards those whose values they identify with for most part.
