Cut ME a break if you want me to believe the govt will ever go after “the middle class” as they see it and put “skin in the game” with Federal taxes on the new entitlement class making $50K a year

The code word “loopholes” means eliminating deductions for mortgages (many of which were acquired using income qualifiers based on many decades of existing tax code) and favored tax status for retirement savings in 401K/IRA’s

The solution to our decline is not MORE REVENUE, it is LESS SPENDING ..... when did this government EVER apply "more revenue" to paying down anything? All that ""more revenue" gives our govt is more access to credit to run up more debt. You give a drunk panhandler standing outside a liquor store $10 and think he is going to spend it on health food? I sure don't know where everyone making $100K+ is putting all their money they “don't need” and who thinks putting thousands more per family in obama’s govt overdraft account solves a damn thing about curbing the damage caused by congressional spendaholics

No arguement there. First, all government workers should take an immediate 10% pay cut, across the board, just like many private companies have done. Then institute a hiring freeze. At the same time, eliminate the EPA, Education dept, and many other boondoggles\ departments the federal government has no business dabbling into.

Eliminate all foreign aid MONEY. If a country needs assistance during a Tsunami, no problem with rdirect elief efforts (food, clothes, water, etc.), but no more blank checks to buy allies.

Announce the US will no longer contribute money to the UN and if the rest of the world wants to stay in NY, fine, they'll pay for the privilege. Otherwise, require the UN to relocate out of NY within 6 months.

Brother, we're on the same page when it comes to spending. I'm sick of my tax dollars being wasted on illegal immigrants - free healthcare, free school, welfare checks etc. I'm sick of the democrats giving away tax dollars to green weenies and unions in order to launder political contributions back to the democrats.

God forbid if I were ever diagnosed with an incurable disease and the doctors gave me one year to live. I have had too many thoughts of what actions could be taken, none of them lawful.
