YOU are the simple one, in that you are gullible enough to swallow the liberal chit. The government does NOT create the wealth of the country, they simply confiscate part of it from those who do.
Also, INCREASING REVENUE to the government decreases the deficit. When the economy thrives, the government gets their percentage from a bigger chunk, thus increasing government revenue, thus DECREASING the deficit, that is unless the greedy politicians increase their spending in the meantime in order to buy votes.

1. I never have said that we should not control the deficit. The deficit and economy are on different timelines. Taking drastic measures to reduce the deficit would actually hurt the economy. The deficit and market are not inversely proportional. Both have been going up the past several years.
2. You don't know what I believe in.
3. "Also, INCREASING REVENUE to the government decreases the deficit."
No chit! so don't vote for politicians that buy your vote with false promises
of lower taxes without increasing the deficit.
The truth is everyone will have to pay more and get less to reduce the deficit. Not exactly the message that wins elections.
