I don’t think any politician Republican or Democrat is willing to serve up the medicine necessary to fix the problems with the economy
No one is going to propose reforming Social Security or Medicare much less make real cut to the military
Tax increases on the top of 1% also have to be on the table
Cutting discretionary spending is not going get it done
We need energy dominance, lower spending and growing economy for a few years and that won’t happen without some major reforms
Tax increases on the top of 1% also have to be on the table
why? they are paying over half the taxes.
EVERYONE needs skin in the game. Even if it’s only a 1% rate
Taxing the wealthy sounds simple but is actually stunningly difficult.
The wealthy can hire world class tax attorneys to scrutinize the tax code and find a wide variety of loopholes for their clients.
The notion that Congress would close those loopholes to any significant degree is laughable on its face.
