Just think how much higher it would have been without those horrendous tax cuts for the rich and the elimination of those progressive regulations.

Typical, uneducated, liberal, economic statement. The top 10% of personal income tax payers (i.e., the "rich") pay approximately 72% of all income taxes. I just got back from Europe and had a tour guide say that (Hungarian) education and health care is "free". I corrected her saying it's not free, it's subsidized. When she tried to argue the point, I asked her the personal income tax rate (40%) and the VAT tax rate (21%), pointing out that the gov't take almost 2/3's of your income, which doesn't sound like "free" to me. Her response: crickets. I wish Liberals would understand this fact. As Churchill once said: Socialism is like standing in a bucket and trying to lift yourself with its handle.
