Only part of the equation..........Spending and making promises we can't keep is part of the equation..............We have $1.4 trillion of exemptions, credits, and deductions each year.
As a result, we have to raise the tax rates on everyone. Except we don't raise them high enough to balance the budget. If we raised them high enough to balance the budget, everyone would riot.
So we raise them as much as we dare, and borrow the rest.
And that's how we got to $21 trillion of debt.
You push Zero Sum taxation and getting rid of the loop holes..........you don't address spending..........and entitlements.
