An empty slogan?
No thanks.

Actually your way the poor don't pay more because they don't have jobs. Though you only believe that if you believe silly little things like empirical data...Makes no sense
You have to go where the money is
Lower the tax rate= multimillionaires pay less
broaden the base= poor people pay more
Makes no sense

Lower the tax rate= multimillionaires pay less
broaden the base= poor people pay more
Much less money coming in and an insignificant amount of extra money coming in to make up for it

Of course.
Cut the red tape and taxes, and support the private economy rather than public employment.
"But for instance, you will not eliminate tax breaks for Big Oil and Gas?"

don't think so, they're aren't enough millionaires to fund demonRat spending sprees, to let everyone pay a fair share.

Well, I guess you could just call them the "Freedom" tax breaks, tell everyone that they'll "help fight terrorism" and then get some corporate backing for an advertising campaign from the Koch brothers.
Of course, it won't actually accomplish anything, except to make you all feel better about your class warfare...
http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/publications/url.cfm?ID=9013353. Higher taxes could eliminate the federal deficit.
Washington spends more than it takes in through tax revenues, resulting in a projected budget deficit of almost $1.35 trillion in 2010, or 9 percent of GDP, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Couldn't we get rid of the deficit by raising taxes?
No. A study we conducted at the Tax Policy Center found that Washington would have to raise taxes by almost 40 percent to reduce -- not eliminate, just reduce -- the deficit to 3 percent of our GDP, the 2015 goal the Obama administration set in its 2011 budget. That tax boost would mean the lowest income tax rate would jump from 10 to nearly 14 percent, and the top rate from 35 to 48 percent.
What if we raised taxes only on families with couples making more than $250,000 a year and on individuals making more than $200,000? The top two income tax rates would have to more than double, with the top rate hitting almost 77 percent, to get the deficit down to 3 percent of GDP. Such dramatic tax increases are politically untenable and still wouldn't come close to eliminating the deficit.
5 Myths about your taxes
The Republican strategy is to appeal to wealthier Americans, which they believe (because of the power of money in our election process) are person for person worth more politically than not-wealthy Americans. The power of money offsets the power of the number of individual potential voters.
