The fact that question even needs to be asked is a sad commentary on Americans’ understanding of economics.

A twofer, thanks to GopherBroke!

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

Done and done. Looks like the good guys are winning at the moment on both polls, but the Chicago cemetery vote isn’t in yet.

Yes, it is sad commentary.... Taxing the hardest working the most seems to fit right into the commie/dem playbook.

In 1986, 1991 and 1993 the Progressive Democrats in Congress made the same pledge 0 did yesterday. Give us more tax money and we will cut the deficit. In 1986, 1991 and 1993 Taxpayers coughed up the money and the Congress increased spending exponentially and the tax payers got more debt then ever.

0 is merely signing the 4th verse of the same old DC Progressive song. It is just another lie.

How about this time we try something that has NEVER been tried by DC, we try to balance the budget strictly on budget cuts with NO tax increases?

Giving more tax money to DC is the equivalent of giving a heroin addict free drugs thinking it will “cure” his addiction

How about having the bottom 50% of income earners carry some of the load?  Last I heard the top 50% of earners pay more than 95% of all income tax.

It's like giving more heroin to a junkie. It's not how you cure the disease.
