They obviously didn't and if we don't get our fiscal house in order the dollar will be worth about as much as a peso.

this is the key point in all of this.
you think raising taxes gets "our fiscal house in order" it doesn't. cutting spending is the only answer. The reagan and bush tax cuts *did* pay for themselves (look it up)
what it didn't pay for was the obscene spending spree congress has been on for decades.
so yeah, lets elect the guy who wants to spend more money because, well if we just raise taxes on the rich, everything will be ok.
I'm often embarrassed that I've accomplished so little in a country where most of the people are dumb enough to believe Obama's fairy tale.
