Joe: Wait... what? You agree with me now? Bob: Yeah... after I looked at it more closely, I could see that times have changed... and that maybe it's time to compromise and raise taxes on the wealthy.

Our present system of taxing and redistributing is insane and will eventually destroy us. How about we end social security, welfare, medicare, medicaid, and cut back on military “offense”! Our Constitution supports common defense and general welfare, not common offense and individual welfare. Our founders had no intention of setting up a system whereby the general government saved every single person from poverty and sickness, and they sure as hell didn’t want us getting involved in foreign conflicts for humanitarian reasons! You want lower taxes? Problem solved. This would cut the Federal budget by over 90 percent, and put the responsibility back on the States, where it was intended to be.
