Anyone who feels that the deficit solution is just taxes or just spending has no clue. It must be a combination.

I pay 32.5K in fed and state taxes. That doesn't include sales taxes, taxes on utilities, taxes on phones, vehicle registration fees, etc. If that's not enough they can just kiss my ass; I have zero intention of sending them more. +100,000,000,000,000,000,000.37

Based on the article it looks like families earning $50,000 and under aren't paying their fair share of taxes. They are gettin money back, while the folks earning at a rate of $50,000 per person and greater are paying for everyone. Am I missing something? Why all the rancor over tax cuts to folks making a good income?
There are more folks making less money, so maybe if we didn't give them so much money back, went to a flat tax, just maybe everybody would actually pay their share.

Sg: I think RR and I are referring to the money we were making when Bush was president! Would gladly pay the taxes I was paying back then.....

Agreed. End all tax cuts and deductions. As long as we migrate to a straight flat tax.

Of all the flat tax proposals, I think the Huckabee "Fair Tax" is the best of the breed.

RR,
Oh, you mean the amount of business activity there was, so more income and more taxes, before Bush crashed the economy. Ah ha, I see.
For all the popularity of a flat tax, I guess I'm still a bit of a bleeding heart liberal. My income is certainly up from when I was younger and raising a family and I'm willing to take the hit of the graduated income tax to lessen the tax burden on the poor. I've been poor. It ain't fun.
Sg + 1 Trillion I make $18.5k a year. I shouldn't have to pay the same rate in taxes as someone who makes $18.5 million a year. Screw the flat tax.

Reading this thread clarifies for me why I have specialized in flyfishing for steelhead. I clearly can not afford the type of fishing Chuck and RR do. Good for you guys. I bet your boat owners.
I can afford a good bit though, and I stick by my contention that I am undertaxed at my rate. Everyone would like the government to spend better. When we spend more than we take in we do not realize what our decisions mean. It's really that simple.
Now the wars have been undertaken "off the books" next we'll be told that we were living off the depreciation. Time to fix the farm.
Go Sox,
cds While debating the final costs of the wars is fair, not adding in the "stimulus spending" that has cost more than the wars isn't fair or correct. I realize a few of you guys "lean left" but come on.
