You cannot tax more than you can spend. The Deficit is not a tax problem, it caused by spending more than is in your budget.
Fixing the deficit by raising taxes is like trying to put a fire out with gasoline. This is not a lack of blood problem in Congress, it is a glut of vampires.
When you raise your spending by 100%, and can’t pay your obligations you need mental help, not more credit cards. This is of course ignoring that this deficit is most likely intentional to destroy the constitutional system of government and replace it with a dictatorship. At which, the idea of more taxes is more about more to steal.
Lest we forget, the very rich don’t have to pay taxes. This is all about hammering the middle class. It always is with socialists. In socialism there are two classes, those with power and serfs.
Great post.
And all our discretionary spending has been eaten up by interest payments on the debt.
