Paul those ancient wonders of the world were created by SLAVERY and the "taxes" were on people whose countries were invaded and were being occupied.
And Tony...I'm not sure what info you think I'm being fed and "believe" in.
I think Bush ended up making HORRIBLE mistakes on spending. Not on taxing.
They are ALL politicians. You are the one who seems to have taken "sides" in a con game that really doesn't have any "side" if you can just step back and really look at what they do with money.
IF the military was reigned back in and truly just for "national defense" (we haven't been invaded since the war of 1812 by the way), and IF entitlement programs were reformed, and IF tax reform was to happen...
Please explain how that makes the "middle class go bye-bye"
????
The middle class would still have the same country and set of circumstances they had before this whole thing started spiraling out of control (in my opinion it started during the 1960's and is now like a freight train with no brakes)
There is absolutely no reason that having LESS govt. spending would somehow cause the middle class to go "bye-bye".
I've said it over and over...make a business environment in the U.S. that is beneficial to business and business will happen. That's all that's needed. Have the govt. do the minimum needed to ensure safety and legality.
We don't need to spend trillions on "defense". And we have to figure out how to make current entitlement programs stabilize.
You can't tax your way out of this.
The more money the govt. TAKES from people, the less money people have. It's not brain surgery. And the govt. is NOT spending that money in a beneficial way. They spend just enough on "good" things to shut people up. The vast majority is spent on military and drug wars and pork barrel corruption.
I don't want to give MY money for that kind of shit. Do you?
