This isn't just about taxes per se, this is about debt. Debt that is accruing interest daily.
"We" have been spending like drunken sailors, dude, somebody's got to pay the piper, and even tho it was the "fiscally responsible" party that got us into this (or, moreso, the people who voted them into power), it's all of us footing the bill. I'd rather pay it off faster, even if it's painful-- maybe *some* people will learn a lesson about having their pie and eating it too. /me looks pointedly at the Republican Party Look, if you can't pay for it, don't buy it. Fucking simple. The Republican Party is all gung-ho to spend, but bitches sooooo much about taxes?... I don't get it. Least the Democrats don't mind paying for what they want. I'd rather pay more up front, and pay much less in the long run, than vice y verse ee. I don't blame people for wanting the direct return on the money fast, even if it's less, but I prefer to invest, and reap more. My taxes are an investment, to me. I know how powerful groups of people are, crazy as they get. We need government and taxes, for more than just roads. Wanting it to be different is cool, but not realistic. -- Sacrifice still exists everywhere, and everywhere the elect of each generation suffers for the salvation of the rest.
