You realize just to pay public employee pensions we would need to raise taxes an avg of $1400 per household, per year, every year, for the next 30 years. Some states are even worse off than that. I think NJ is well into the $2000+ per house hold. The whole system is broken and taxing more will not fix it.

But I guess this is what we get when we allow the bankers, wall street and big corps run our country while people cheer for more government involvement in their lives and taxes.
