A liberal willing to actually risk making a proposal. Can you give a little more detail so we can crunch some numbers and see if we can come up with a realistic, mathematically sound, Liberal solution to situation we are in.
Here are some questions to get us started.............
Anything else? consumption taxes, tax reform, investments? Oh, one last question, can we continue on the present course?
The first thing to understand is that the government is not doing any charity by cutting taxes. The governments job is to collect taxes and provide public services in return. Like the European governments. The recent eagerness from both the American left and the right to provide tax
relief shows that the government is no longer interested in representing the interests of the people.
The taxes will not be raised. In fact I expect to see a lot more generous tax
reliefs in the future. But don't expect the government to care about your
brilliant ideas on how to fix the system either. Once they stop collecting taxes from you, they no longer have to listen to you.
As for the economic problems, a lot of americans believed that they were somehow chosen for prosperity. They still do. The government has no choice but to run deficits in order to win their votes(or just to maintain order in the system).
What is your Constitutional basis for all this? You know, the document laying out the enumerated powers of the federal government.
