That's ridiculous.I'm ok with taxing the wealthy more, but the middle class and poor should pay something as well.This way, they'll think twice about government spending programs before voting for them. In summation, the deficit would be reduced by taxing all of us and then new or old spending would be cut because of the political backlash of new taxes on everybody. |
