Then lower the bills by cutting discretionary spending.
The problem that occurs when government bugle calls for more taxes is that the majority of people get the shaft. That reaches across all levels of income.
So instead of robbing the people. The government should be cutting the "gifts" and grants...For example...arts..why the hell should the federal government be in the business of funding art? Art includes motion pictures, TV and audio....Why should the federal government by subsidizing research that in the end, the private sector will not invest because there is no possible return on investment.......Why is the federal government spending money on public education? That should be a state and local matter. Same thing goes for housing. Let the private sector build and maintain housing.
Tell me, why should the taxpayers be saddled with the cost to rebuild beach houses blown away by storms? The owners should have had their properties insured. Same thing goes for mudslides and earthquakes. FEMA resources should be limited to public infrastructure and viability of communities. Not homes owned by individuals.
Why should the federal government be involved in bailing out failing or failed business? What is the federal government doing spending money on the auto industry? Why is the government giving hundreds of billions of dollars to otherwise ungrateful countries that do not act in the best interests of the US?
Why are the majority funding source for the UN?
Why are we not enforcing rules and regulations on social programs?
And finally, it snowed today in Washington DC...And once again, the taxpayers had to pay federal workers to NOT work....That's outrageous. Plow the fucking streets and get your ass to work...Just like everyone else.
So let's attack the arts. Why not have companies like Walmart et al pay back all of their subsidies they've obtained?
Why should the government make people whole after a major disaster? Because insurance companies only pay 30% to 60% of the rebuild cost. Read you insurance policy! Unless you have an ADDITIONAL gap plan you will be significantly out-of-pocket. And there's no guarantee that will work.
