I’ve been reading that the United States deficit has become runaway. This being true the logical thing to do is raise taxes or cut spending. We’re are we going to cut spending? Weaken the defense? Health care to make the country sicker. Housing subsidies to make the U.S. look like a third world country with millions more living on the streets. Cut government workforce? We doing that and from this crazy blogger’s point a view it has made a not to efficient government, even less efficient.
The next thing to bring about a reduced deficit is to raise money. Now I ask myself how do you raise money if you’re the government? Well I guess you have to do the unthinkable to raise taxes.
Should you raise taxes across the board? Well the poor have no money, and if you raise taxes among the middle class there’s a good chance that they would become poor.
In my crazy mind the United States government should raise taxes on those who presumably could afford it the most, the rich, who while they may not be to enthusiastic about that, they would be doing the patriotic thing and and pay more in taxes. It may even be away to help preserve their riches (wtf).
