(Howard) Dean: "The Truth Is Everybody Needs To Pay More Taxes, Not Just The Rich"

But, but, but, didn't Barack HUSSEIN Obama promise not to raise taxes on the middle class? Wait until everyone finds out what happens to them with Obamacare.

There is no such thing as an honest Democrat and they are all economic illiterates.

So the only thing left to really push down the deficit is to dig deeper down the income scale. Which is exactly where Liberals/Progressives/Socialists are really planning on going.

Not true. What we really need is more taxpayers, not more taxes. We can get it through economic growth but liberal government policies are preventing economic growth. The story is the lack of job creation.

Taxes to the federal government are the single largest expense I incur. Combined income and payroll taxes (just my 'contribution', not my employer's) cost me more than my house, including the extra amount that I pay each month on a 15-year mortgage. It is larger than my food bill. Larger than my charitable contributions, which, if Dean is like most liberals, are far higher, percentage-wise, than his. Larger than the cost of my cars, which are paid for and all have over 100k miles. My federal tax bill is larger than my utilities, my gas, and my insurance combined. The largest demand on my bank account, which in turn is the largest demand of my income, my time, my life, is tribute to the federal monster that is destroying our country.

And, you want more? Screw you. And, if we go off the cliff, I will be paying more. About 4 grand or so more. Plus, I will probably be hit with the AMT for 2012 taxes, if they don't take care of that.

Tell you what. We can go back to Clinton tax rates if we go back to Clinton spending levels. We can even index it for inflation and population growth. Deal?
