Everybody should have lower taxes. We can do that if we're willing to cut our military and overseas empire and stop the wars. Don't let fascists trick you into supporting "higher taxes for the rich" in order to continue getting their corporations funded by government money and bailouts. ...and if you really believe taxing the "rich" will work, you're out of your mind, they will evade, lay people off , off shore, move out of the country, whatever it takes, the middle class and poor will be the ones who pay the real cost.

so to recap, we need to cut spending , especially in big bloated corrupt areas of government, then we can lower taxes for everybody and that will help spur the economy

Politicians can't hand out money to private banks and corporations if we don't send it to Washington in the first place, CUT spending, take their power away.

Right on. They can easily cut some spending by making the govt smaller, much smaller. Dems don't want to cut spending that way, they want to cut services. And keep govt big.

Why? One reason. They know they will have more votes to get reelected. They don't care about the country, they only care about staying in office so they can steal more money.

The more govt workers in the uhnions, the more money the Dems get from them. In turn, the Dems give them nice contracts with outrageous benefits, paid by YOU. Not only do you pay their health care and pensions, they MAKE MORE than you do.

More govt union workers, more money, more votes for Dems, more money to steal for Dems. That's the game plan.

i agree. cut spending. smaller government. no bailouts with our tax money. let the companies do what they want, but when they mess themselves up, don't bail them out.

also, we were meant to be a republic, give more power to the states, this makes it harder to corrupt the entire nation and makes it easier for the people to go after corruption because the power will be local instead of centralized in the washington mafia

Dude, we don't have to pay any stinking taxes if we knew what the heck were doing and talking about. If we keep going down the dead end path of republicans and democrats you won't have a future. Our old way of living is over with. Can't you see that. If you can't you better learn because time is running out. If we don't let go of our old ways and thinking, they will take us with them. Open your freak-en minds - then we can start to live again.

Cut spending and make the tax code fair. No one is saying tax the rich 35% and not tax the middle class at all. Just make everyone pay their fair share.
