Since there is good chances that it will be a democrat president, well the republicans will be happy to point out and say :
" we told you so ... they are soft on our security and raise taxes ..."
Sometimes, I think it would be good to let Guliani be president and see how he manages that ...

I think individuals pay enough taxes here to be honest. I really hope they don't raise taxes. If you're going to look for more revenue, we should look at not giving huge tax breaks to folks at Exxon and other major corporations that don't need them.
But you're right about spending. I think it goes well beyond just military spending. We are spending on stupid stuff to pay off politician's buddies in power. We need a President who is going to be a pain in the ass when it comes to spending. Someone who vetoes everything that is unnecessary. I'm tired of hearing about my tax dollars going toward a teapot museum or wild shrimp marketing. I'm tired of seeing my our deficit increase while we dish out billions to the Saudis and Israel just to make them happy.
The rich are taxed enough here. Everyone is in fact. The problem isn't how much money is coming in, it's where it's going to.
