My kid had a sports event out of town yesterday. Last moment two parents tried to pull out saying they couldn't afford it. You figure $60 of gas, $30 for two adults to attend, another $75 in food (figure lunch and dinner for three in a stadium where hot dogs are $6 each), then a $20 shirt for their kid.... That's nearly $200, and too rich for some people to spend on a Saturday afternoon. (My wife and I ended taking both kids and paying for everything.)

so obviously they won't be able to buy a $20 shirt for the kid or will have to pack sandwiches instead of going out to eat, and problem is solved... it's not like $1000s/month is at stake here... there is a problem to be solved, you seem to think raising taxes is the best solution, so lets do it, but I don't see any reason why everyone shouldn't make some sacrifice...
you and everyone else seems to think: lets raise taxes, but not my taxes...
