Maybe it is a coincidence , but have you noticed that Obama’s approval ratings 45%-47% are about the same as the % of Americans that have to pay income taxes this year(for last year) ?? I guess deficits and increased government takeovers don't sound as scary if you think you won't be the one paying for it.
Amnesty anyone?
A consumption tax might make more sense than

WINNER!!
Yo, sickoflibs—Are you supporting the idea we need more taxes—any kind of taxes? Before we get there there needs to be some work done. First, every existing program—especially entitlements—needs to be examined and determined to be effective and non-redundant. Second, there needs to be massive effort to curb frsud, wast and abuse of tax payer money. Third, money collected for infrastructure must be overseeen by independent managers. Politicians have proven themselves ineffective—or worse—with regard to that responsibility. Fourth, every working American should pay a federal and state income tax—even if it is only $1.
Only after those four things are accomplished can we know whether or not we actually need new tax revenue.
The "freeloader factor" is one of the prizes that leftists hope to use with amnesty. That also explains why they want "universal voter registration," so that those too lazy to register won't have to.
