Re: Romney's tax rate is only half as high as the middle class pays
The only way we can reduce the debt is get the economy going, and the only way we can get the economy going is by increased demand, and the only way you have increased demand is if most of the money is not going to the top, out of reach of the working class who created demand.
Many have already figured this out, which is a very positive sign!
It has been calculated that if the federal government were to increase every single tax by 30% it would take 25 years to balance the books BUT only if the government stopped spending more money. And what is the likelihood of that?
You can kiss the idea of a "better America" goodbye. That's gone and you pissed it away.
Benjamin Franklin was said to have been asked, “Well, Doctor, what have we got—a Republic or a Monarchy?”
To which he replied, “A Republic, if you can keep it.”
He seems to have had some foreboding about this generation of Americans.
