Nope you cannot tax our way out of this mess...making the people who worked hard to make money for later on is not the way to finance it. What is rich? Drug dealers who pull in 10K a week? (tax free of course) I can't believe what our family pays in taxes. We don't even make 55K a year. Tax me more? (higher tax bracket than poverty) THINK

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
