Bob, raising tax rates DECREASES govt revenue....This is about class warfare not raising revenue, you fell into the trap again.

Not necessarily. If taxes are raised on the deadbeats, they WILL pay them, and the impact to economic activity will be minimal (i.e., less plasmas, Air Jordans, lottery tickets, and cigarettes). The poor just have to live without as many luxuries.
If taxes are raised on the wealthy, then I agree, it slows down activity, and likely won’t increase revenue - and may actually decrease revenue.
So I’d like to see the deadbeats have some skin in the game, for it will, FINALLY, teach them a lesson about voting for more goodies. I’m sick of protecting them from the consequences of their votes.
By the way, sorry about Michigan becoming Right-to-Work, that’s got to really sting...but those things happen once in a while.
