Lou you must have hated the bad old days of Ronald Reagan when tax rates were much higher than today and deficits were smaller. One thing you are missing is Social Security does not add a single penny to the deficit and should be left alone for now. Though I would be happy if the cap on the SS tax was raised to say...$250,000. But hey, I'm all for cutting spending! How about we close every military base we have in a foreign country, stop spending money on those two useless wars in the middle east, and begin investing that money here at home building better schools, alternative energy, fixing hghways and bridges....that $800 billion a year on the military would go along ways!
I work with a guy who is always complaining about taxes and jawing how the government is stealing it from him.....so I asked him if he didnt give the money to the government would he build his own roads or maybe provide his own police protection, or job training program with the money he saved?
I just heard on the TV that American corporations created 1.4 million jobs last year....overseas.
