chs68 is right. Although this thread may be juvenile (hence fun) , the real solution should be too obvious for everyone on this board - cut spending!
We all know that cutting spending is the proper answer. We also know that liberals are not going to propose cutting spending. We do know that they will propose tax increases of innumerable amounts and methods. So, the base purpose of this thread is to generate counter proposals to throw at them when they come out with their stupid ass ideas of "taxing soda" and "taxing bullets" and other such schemes.
The left loves raising taxes for OTHER people. We need to throw ideas at them that will cause THEM to pay more taxes. This could have the effect of actually preventing tax increases from happening.
