I am a liberal.
Here is where I have common ground with conservatives.
The government is too big. It is so big that no President in two terms could fix it and it is very broken.
I don't think abortion should be used as a contraceptive. If you fuck... you should make sure you don't get pregnant.
That's about the extent of it.
There isn't a single millionaire who pay more taxes as a percentage of his/her income than a middle class person who pays personal income tax unless they are complete idiots. The average person earning more than $250k/year pays an effective tax rate of 17% to the IRS.
As many as 45% of corporations pay no taxes at all and many of the largest corporations receive money from the government and have no tax liability.
In an ideal world... we wouldn't pay any taxes at all... but that is fantasy land.
You can get over the Bush Tax Cuts... those will expire... it's a done deal and it was a done deal when they were enacted by the Republican controlled Congress and Bush. Obama extended them or they would have already expired. Stop acting like Obama or Democrats are imposing something new tax rate... they aren't.
