You are talking about conservatives, right? I have paid taxes since 1963, even when I was just barely in to the Navy, and poor. There are more deductions for families now than there were then. The only deduction that is missing now is the one for interest deductions other than on mortgages, and sales tax. We all paid taxes, the rich paid a higher rate, and we all got along. Now the rich have had a taste of govt sponsored greed, and it is apparently more addictive than crack cocaine...
I started a new thread on the role of the Federal Govt. There seems to be quite a disconnect here as to that role. Feel free to participate but the fact remains there is no evidence that there will be a Middle Class tax cut or that any tax increase on the rich will go towards reducing the deficits or paying down the debt.
