Who in their right mind thinks increasing taxes on the rich is going to help them? I mean the pentagon just told congress that "if they do across the board tax cuts it could throw us into war", the statement sounded a little like a threat. seriously? It's one thing to to tax to help the people, but for increasing wasteful spending isn't forward progress. Our government can cut a lot of useless spending without effecting any SS or welfare systems. If you guys want to fight for something fight for transparency and accountability, remember that word? it what got Obama elected, and now will be his achille heel but I digress. We the people have very little knowledge on what goes on, our military goals, our financial goals, etc. So much goes on that we will never see, and I would be a major game changer it we could. Bickering about money that is spend before its even collected, wont do us any good.
