2. How about government spending less social entitlement benefits programs.
3. How about government start actually make some of the corporations that pay no taxes at all pay taxes, like somewhat reforming the expatriation corporate tax rules.[/quote]
Here, here !
I’d be glad to pay pay a higher portion of the total costs if the costs were about 20% of what they are now and I’m not even one of the “rich” ones.
The discussion of fair share only hides the real problem.[/quote]
That real problem is quite simple. If you take Bill Clinton’s last balanced budget, increase it by inflation and population growth, the budget would be $2.8 Trillion.
We’re spending $3.8 Trillion.[/quote]
With all the discussion of contrived issues, here’s a good one. Rather than deal with the fact that the government is spending too much, and admit to an unprecedented increase in that spending, the Dems have decided to to distract everyone with this BS “Fair share” crap. It seems to be damned effective too. It seems like all the libs have it their head that if the “rich” would just pay their “fair share” that everything would be fixed.
