I'm pretty sure that entitlement programs are going to have to be cut as well. The numbers just don't add up with more and more people retiring and the population aging.
I have no real hopes that I will ever see the TON of money I put into Social Security. I just don't see how I'll ever get that back in my old age.
I don't know what the answer is. The rich already pay most of the taxes in this country. And "rich" can be pretty subjective too. After what happened to the stock market and the housing market the last couple of years...a shitload of people who WERE rich on "paper", are now struggling.
Again, I don't see exactly how raising taxes in any way is going to help the economy recover and get the country back on it's feet. I'm also not sure if NOT raising them will "help". But it certainly won't hurt. Whereas raising taxes and taking more money away from business will definitely hurt it. How can it not?

Business is doing fine look at the markets, its the middle class taking it in the ass. Big business has 2 trillion dollars in reserves and is making records profits.Making less do alot more work for less is very profitable. I dont think those jobs are ever going to come back.I dont give a fuck who is president.Wages have been flat for a long time and cheap credit made people feel like they were doing better than they really were. Companies for profits have been shipping jobs off for awhile during all those bush tax cut years and they aint coming back I dont care if they made corporate tax zero because as long as they can hire someone for 78 cents an hour. Hiring people overseas is much much lower than any tax rate.
