Besides, nobody is talking about taking all of the wealth of anybody. What is being proposed is returning the top marginal rates to where they were in the 1990s, which, by the way, was the last time we balanced the budget. Imagine that.

And Spending was under control.
Do you have a real idea of how much is a TRILLION?
(I do not mean that as an insult, but the number is tossed around like its just a number)
Obama's spending has added trillions of $$ to the deficit. Is that sustainable?
We can always find ways to spend more. I know I can, and I'm spending my own money. Just imagine how easy it is to spend money that gets you re-elected and doesn't cost you anything in reality. Of course politicians over spend.
We must have a mechanism that STOPS them from doing it.
How do you feel about Obama and the democrat leadership reversing themselves on raising the debt ceiling? To me it just partisan politics--w/o regard to principle.
