Republicans have become the party of fiscal irresponsibility. They have lost all foundation to complain about Democrats in this regard.
I, however, blame both parties for our out-of-control deficit spending. Paying only the interest on our debt now takes over 25% of our income. This comes off the top before we can spend the first dollar on government operation, services or military.
Republicans need to agree to raise taxes and cut spending on the military and Democrats need to, simply, cut spending.
Y’know, Anters, I’m so sad to see what has happened to my Country based on comments like yours. Our President, himself, the leader of our Country, has called people stupid for paying their taxes. I’m just so dispirited that people don’t love their Country. This isn’t the way it used to be.
“…you’re willing to forfeit your wealth to taxes…? I don’t think so…” — Anters
Where did this notion come from where people refuse to support the system that has given them so much ? Our generous and faithful forefathers, our Country’s founders, dedicated “…their lives, their fortunes, their sacred honor….”
It seems to me the least we should do is pay our fair share of taxes without complaint, cheating or disloyalty for all we’ve received for living in the greatest Nation in history.
Republicans have done a great job of convincing coal miners whose mines have closed and the owners have run off with their pensions and they can’t get health insurance or any good jobs to vote for their guns instead of their families.
