Are you nuts! Since when has raised taxes curtailed government spending? It never has and never will. The idea is to get rid of expendatures, that are nothing more than fluff, and stop using them to cushion political gains for politicians. Until this Gov. acts FOR the people again and not themselves there are no taxes that will change the overall spending habits of this government. Look at just Obamacare and the exceptions that flooded from that. That's peanuts compared to those with wealth who can and know how to protect their assets....including moving their companies off shore.
1. I think the War in Libya is essential, and should remain priority number one. It pumps up our presidents ego. Makes him feel like a man, not a Chicago fag on the down-low.
2. Trips to Africa and Spain with Sashta an Malika, priority number two. If Michelle isn't happy, the man with the nukes isn't happy.
3. Vacations to Indonesia and India, Priority Number three. After working hard to get his golf score into the low 90’s , our president deserves a reward and a moral boosting billion dollar trip every year.
