Who pays the taxes? They do! That is why they fight taxes like hell.

If this is what you truly believe, you are economically illiterate. Consider this question: Where do the businesses get the money to pay their increased taxes?

The more we lower them on wealthy individuals then the more they spend.

You may wish to look up the facts on the difference between wealth taxes and income taxes. The income tax is a barrier to the accumulation of wealth.

Politicians don't spend public money because they have too much of their own. They spend public money because it buys them power (votes) while leaving their own pile of wealth unharmed.

I'm sorry, but I find your argument simplistic, naive, and wrong.

Where do they get their money to pay their increased taxes. That is crazy. Their taxes have been reduced. They have lower rates then at any time since Truman. When government is 35% of the economy and the Dem's can hand out public money to clientize business just like they do the poor and public employee unions where do you think they get a lot of their money? From the government! Again when government becomes a greater source of income then taxes are a burden then they no longer care about limiting public spending. Politicians may spend public money but the establishment GOP has become a partner in them spending money. They do nothing to stop it because they no longer find the taxes burdensome compared to what they get from government. Talk about me being naive if you and the rest of us conservatives don't wake up to new paradigms and dynamics in what is happening we will be buried faster then you think.
