I'm so curious. Do you think his agenda is wrong because it's "morally" wrong to tax the highest wage earners, or do you think his agenda is wrong because it'll hurt our economy?
If my tax were increased to pay off the debt I would be less oppossed to it. But that's not the deal. It will be used to increase the size of government as well as give those who do not pay Federal Tax a check in the mail (let's not debate this).
What I think would do to turn the economy around which would also generate more tax revenue would be:
1. Freeze or lower the Capital Gains tax.
2. Renew the Bush tax cuts that are set to expire in 2010.
3. Immediately ratify trade agreement with Columbia.
4. Lower Corporate Tax rate to same level as Ireland.
5. Freeze all Government spending.
6. Get out of Iraq as soon as Iraqi is stable.
7. Implement an "all the above" energy policy so we can become energy independent as soon as possible.
8. Adopt whatever regulations are needed to protect Americans from unethical Wall St. behavior as well as ensure home loans are only given to those who can qualify based on traditional lending standards.
