You guys don't get it. This is not about "higher taxes." This is about our government spending like a drunken sailor with a stolen credit card. Higher taxes - confiscatory rates - on OUR THEIR WAY. And before you go whining about the $800 billion Bush spent on the war, consider that BO has doubled the dollars spent on government programs in less than 100 days in office. He is inflating the debt and the deficit and there is no end in sight.

It would appear that his specific purpose is to bankrupt our country. You can NOT get ahead financially by plunging deep into debt. The interest on our debt service will soon swamp us.

That's what this is about. It's time for our country to stop using our taxpayer dollars to prop up failing banks, failing companies, corrupt corporations and worst of all, The Fed.

How otherwise smart people can not see this astounds me.

We are drowning in debt in this country and this is not sustainable.
