I don't think taxes should be raised for anyone. I also don't think they should be cut until the debt is straightened out.
I think one of the biggest issues out there are the loopholes and people who abuse the system. There are people and companies who make money off Americans yet skirt the taxes. Companies like Haliburton setup offshore and treat their employees as contractors so they don't have to pay payroll taxes. They earn most of their money from the U.S., but don't pay taxes in it. You also have investment firms who are helping foreigners shield dividend taxes. They enjoy all the benefits of investing in our country yet don't have to pay the taxes to support that system.
Fix those and you have some massive new revenue sources come in without having to raise anyone else's taxes.
