Do you honestly think it will help fix the debt? Honestly? We are so deep in debt that it wouldn't do squat even if you confiscated all of their wealth. We've got to quit spending. When you've maxed your credit card, you don't just move onto the next one in your wallet. Spending across the board needs to be cut from defense to welfare......and when I say cut, I mean cut. Deep. That is what individual people have to do and it is what governments need to do.
Yes, more money in and less money spent is how you get out of debt, right?
For an individual, yes. If needed, you go get a second job while cutting your expenses to get your finances under control. For a government, there isn't a second job......you have to live within your means under the revenue you do get. So your first line of defense is cutting spending deeply and sorting out what is the top priority in your spending.
So according to you there is no way for a government to increase revenues?? really?
It is pure bullshit to say that people who have busted their ass to get ahead have some sort of obligation to just hand it over to the government when we have 5th generation welfare receipients sitting on their asses thinking they are somehow entitled to a portion of that persons wealth.
It is BS for you to say that since i don't think anyone here is making that argument. Who here is saying that those who worked hard have to hand it <all> over to the government??
How about this. Put your money where your mouth is. I'm sure you have a spare bedroom or some sort of room that can be converted to a bedroom in your house. Maybe your garage. Obviously, you have more rooms than you need you lucky greedy bastard. Go down to the area of town where the homeless live and bring one home to live in your spare room. Don't be greedy with your house. Give up that extra room you don't use to someone who really needs it. Share the sacrifice. Spread the wealth. That is the argument for taxing people more who make over a certain dollar amount isn't it? Do your part. Let us know about your new family member. Post some pictures for us. While you're at it, make sure you provide them with groceries too. It's the right thing to do.
So you are actually comparing increasing taxes to forcing someone to give away a room in their homes to a stranger?? WOW! and to think you actually got thanked for that drivel.
