"defense" cuts and higher taxes for rich people

[Syrinx]

They've been yapping on TV and CNN about how there is no way to solve our country's problems. We're screwed.

But the answer is obvious.

Quit waging all this war.

And raise taxes on the most fortunate.

5. Things keep going the way they are and the government will have no choice but to

cut defense spending, or else TAX THE RICH!


Bunch of damn geniuses. :silly:

3. The Bush tax cuts for all Americans should be reversed

50,000 is rich compared to the poverty line

4. I'd end some of the corporate tax breaks, too

[14thColony]

6. I'd have one and only one tax break for corporations

One exclusively tied to the number of new, full-time, full-benefits, salaried & unionized jobs they created inside the United States in the previous tax year.

"OK boys, your new corporate base tax rate is 100 percent. Oh, don't look so glum, there's one sure-fire way to lower it..."

Of course this assumes a) I could FDR Congress into having my back and b) I wasn't assasinated before my first day in office was over.
