Ok, maybe I assumed prematurely, So you're saying that you don't think that raising taxes would hurt Repubs? Tell me why you think that?
Good, now all we need is to agree on how to do that....What is your suggestion?
I have long advocated that tax rates on ALL Americans earning dollar one go up by five points across the board. Further, the special rates for both capital gains and estate taxes should be abolished and both simply treated as income according to the regular schedules. FICA should be paid on 100% of income by 100% of earners not simply the 93% who pay on 100% of income today.
As for spending I would cut it by at least $400 billion this year.
