Does this man not get it? We dont need more taxes. We need less taxes. The economy sucks, growth is anemic, wages are stagnant. Why? Uncompetitive tax structure combined with over regulation. Now he wants to double down on stupid, taxing profits made outside this country to fund "infrastructure projects", like payoffs to unions and the like, Im sure. Only good news is it has zero chance of going anywhere.

Taxes pay for spending you dumbshit. Oh, and revenue as a percentage of GDP is near the historic low. Try educating yourself.

And in real dollars they are at historical highs, just because the economy gets larger doesn't mean government should.

Apparently you don't understand the concept of inflation. The value of the dollar has gone down. The only metric that matters in terms of revenue is computing it as a percentage of GDP. It obviously matters what size the economy is. Because of inflation, the costs of government expenses has to go up.

Next Our Kenyan Emperor will want a one-time, 100% tax on all wealth so everybody can start over on equal footing.

GDP is based in real dollars, inflation also effects GDP, which is growing slightly faster than inflation. BTW government spending is growing faster than inflation. Government is unmanageable as indicated by your dear leader saying he had learned about events from the news at the same time we did. If that doesn't shake your confidence in the leviathan we call the US Government, nothing will.

Um no GDP is not based on real dollars. Stop pretending you know what you are saying. I'm not sure if you even know what GDP is.

The debt under Obama is primarily comprised of defense spending and Bush's tax cuts - two polices you republicans love. Too bad if was a black democrat who did it. You would appreciate it otherwise.

1. DEFINITION of 'Gross Domestic Product - GDP' The monetary value of all the finished goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific time period, though GDP is usually calculated on an annual basis.

If monetary value in the US is not real dollars, tell the rest of the class what monetary value is. No hurry.

You dumbass real dollars in terms of raw dollars does not determine the value of GDP. Inflation matters.

I said inflation effects GDP but there are new good and services coming down the line all the time which add value to the GDP beyond inflation, that's why it is BS to compare government spending to GDP, government can be spending more in real dollars and still show as a smaller percentage of GDP.

How do you not understand inflation? Government expenses, like private expenses, go up because of it. There MUST be an increase in government spending.

Only if you want to maintain the same level of government, I don't, it's bloated and wasteful and is in need of being put on a massive diet. It wouldn't hurt my feelings if government never grew, in fact I would do away with about half of it. The country would be better for it.

Except there has been no inflation to speak of over the past 10 years. And as far as funding government absolute numbers count. And by absolute numbers the gov't is taking more than ever.
But you dont get it. Because you're Billy 000, a screen name joining your real name and your IQ.

Billy, why do you post easily disproven nonsense?
GDP is given in constant dollars.
Defense spending has shrunk as a percentage of the budget to the lowest since before WW2.
Obama's enormous deficit is caused by increases in transfer payments and social spending, all things Democrats voted on.

Now why isn't the rest of the world bankrupting themselves with their military spending? We just have to many military contractors needing to make billions of dollars. Welfare for the military contractors. Isn't that nice.

Well that is clearly spelled out in the US constitution and thus proves the far left does not understand the constitution, to them it is just a GD piece of paper..

I believe we should end the capital gains distinction whenever wages for labor doesn't outpace inflation.
