>> It may not be a question of wanting to raise taxes, but having to raise them. Just a thought.

The justification for raising taxes is always under the banner of necessity. Have you ever heard a politician state “we’re going to raise your taxes simply because we can” ?

The justification for raising taxes is always under the banner of necessity.

Every stinkin' school levy is presented as such - an URGENT need, no less. It's always an emergency when the government wants to rob you. Always!

I can proudly say that I've never voted in favor of any school levy.

Watch out for Fitzgerald. It’s been sleeping about 9 months, and suddenly woke up today for some reason. Posting record hints at possible Moby.

Obama thinks raising Tax (Rates) is a fairness issue, even if it reduces Revenue to the Government.

At the same time, he wants to increase the Federal Budget by another TRILLION DOLLARS.

And the funniest thing of all is that under the Bush Tax Cuts, the rich pay a larger portion of income taxes than ever.

Actually, Obama said in his debate with Hillary that he would raise the capital gains tax, even though that has proven to decrease Gov’t revenue, in the name of fairness.
