>They can only solve budget problems by raising taxes.<
It’s long past the point of fixing budgets. IMO, they’re trying to just suck up all the wealth and grab everything for the increasingly oppressive state. It really makes me mad.
(I don’t really have anything for them to take, but I don’t begrudge those who do)
It’s all about wealth redistribution to the people they want to get other folks’ money.
That’s why you can’t ever cut entitlements without it beign the end of the world. that’s why you can’t cut foreign aid. It’s all flowing to the people they want it to flow to.
It probably is time for CWII. Before the whole shebang is beyond salvage.
