Someone please add up all the new revenues from these sources and tell us how long (minutes? hours? days?) it will fund government at current spending levels....

The federal government is spending about $3.6 Trillion annually. $400 billion is over 10% of spending and about 40% of the deficit. I would say that's a big part of the answer. As an added feature, it affects those who are the Right’s biggest foes. What's not to like?

Quick math since a trillion is a 1000 billion and we spent 1.2 trillion last year 400 billion would be gone after 3 months.

On the other side of the ledger, I’m willing to give up my entitlement to an ObamaPhone, food stamps, public housing, 99 weeks of unemployment payments. I’m willing to do without, how about everyone else? It’s only FAIR.
