Even though you all know that the govt. will funnel the majority of the money to defense contractors from their home states.
I see the GFY forum just full of people who are salivating at the idea of raising tax rates and taking people's money away from them to give to the greedy and overbloated federal govt.
I never thought that I would see this in the United States Of America.
And it's happening while our govt. is out invading other countries, occupying other countries around the world, and killing people world wide.
SURE! Let's take even more money from the people earning it and give it to a govt. that spends $10.6 BILLION PER DAY already.
There's a sucker born every minute

It's called Mobocracy.
51% voting to steal from the other 49%
America used to be a Republic - the founders made it that way for a reason - with separation of powers and senators appointed by the states.
But things are very different now.
You have a party called the Democrats promising free stuff to certain interest groups and whipping up class envy so the moochers will vote for them every time and want to steal more money from the 49% .
it's like the tax debate in the Soviet Republic of California. They just voted for the highest tax in America believing that the rich will pay. People will always vote to raise someone elses taxes. Thatcher once said socialism works until you run out of people to tax. Sooner or later those making 50k will be deemed rich enough for higher taxes because the current high income folk have left the state. Surprise, surprise the rich people like Mickelson are leaving in droves to low tax states like Texas.
