Taxes are being raised to support the poor who have lost their jobs — thanks to tax and trade policies created by and for mega-corporations. Taxes are being rased to support illegal immigrants and their children. Taxes are being raised to make up for the losses created by Wall Street. Taxes are being raised because revenues are down — thanks to the bubble markets created by Wall Street and the Federal Reserve, yet again.
