The death tax is for another thread
You are the one that asked what tax cuts the rich got, the inheritance tax cut is one of them.
It's time to look at capital gains again, I have said that many times, but those cuts did increase revenue at the time.
No, the tax cuts prevented the revenues from rising as much as they would have otherwise. There is no doubt that capital gains tax rates need to be increased.
Help me with your reference to outsourcing incentives, please.
The Democrats even tried to stop it and the GOP blocked them:
GOP, U.S. Chamber Of Commerce Beat Back Bill To Combat Outsourcing
So, my argument is that they did a poor job of handling our money and your counterpoint is that they should be leading the world?
The majority of Democrats voted against the war in Iraq, and are calling for increasing spending on the military again, unlike the Democrats have proposed cutting spending for the military. I think we need spending cuts rather than the spending increases that Romney is calling for.
My position is that those funds should be locked away and you are saying that we might as well throw it into FIT because the government overspent and use it as another way to tax people more for the general fund.
I was for Gore's plan for locking SS funds when he first brought it up but people decided to go with the guy they thought they would rather have a beer with instead.
I understand the Democrats have a new plan to lock the SS funds, I am glad to hear that you are in support of their plans for locking the funds!
