If you wont change it you have to pay for it.
No, I don’t have to pay for it — or, rather, I don’t have to pay as much, if the payroll tax is cut. If the GOP votes to raise my payroll taxes, I’m voting third party.
I’m a Republican because I believe in lower taxes, not in raising taxes to fund the welfare state (including Social Security). If the GOP is going to adopt its pre-Reagan stance of being the tax collector for the welfare state, I’ll say goodbye to the party.
If the GOP is going to continue its stance of adding to the National debt, I’ll say goodbye to the party. Apparently you don’t mind the spending as long as you aren’t taxed for it. I say cut the spending then cut the taxes.
