A couple of billion from those keeping it trapped doing no one any good, not creating jobs or paying down the debt the republicans saddled us with certainly won’t hurt the USA. More than likely will help.
No, the buffet rule won’t solve the nation’s budget problems by itself, but asking the nation’s super rich to pay the same tax rate as their employees is a symbolic gesture that does reduce the deficit. It’s embarrassing that somehow asking billionaires to pay same percentage in taxes is class warfare.
@skipcarlsenAnd you could remember, if your silly brain can do it, that USA has been throwing an average of 500 billion dollars a year since 1945 into what Eisenhower called “the military-industrial complex”, of which Obama is just a puppet.500 billion x 67 years = 33.5 trillion at least.

cutting spending will not reduce the deficit at all.it will merely reduce the rate at which it increases.

The problem is that the republicans want to cut spending and tax income from the rich. That won’t reduce the deficit the republicans created.

@skipcarlsenYou are obviously a demented neurotic freak. Your fanatic statement means only that your sick brain is washed.
