Increasing taxes on the American people is not the way to grow the party, let alone the economy in a recession.
If the GOP hasn’t learned that by now, then its learned nothing.
Close the Departments of Education and Energy. Cut every other agency in government by 10 percent. Stop all foreign aid.
Remember the other day, when some of us were in a big disagreement over whether this was a tax increase, or just increased revenues through lowering overall taxes but cutting out “loopholes” so more could not get out of paying their “fair share”?
It was amazing, listening to he rank ignorance from some, who kept claiming that this would be a very good thing. That it would reduce our taxes, reduce the deficit and make more pay who were supposedly getting out of it currently. You know, like those who get deductions for mortgage, charity and deductions for State and local taxes.
But more astounding was the fact that these people kept insisting that this was not a tax increase, it was just a way of increasing revenue while at the same time reducing taxes.
This is like cattle, being fattened for the slaughter house, commenting on how good the food is and how much they have to eat.
