Anyone who is a conservative agrees, or else they're libtards in denial.
Its simple math. We have this much tax money to give (A). Those who work for tax money want this much (B).
A is < than B.
Period.
Which means EVERYONE in group B must take a loss. Congressmen. DMV workers. SEALS. Marines. Welfare queens. Retirees. Ditch diggers. They all consume tax money, and We The Taxpayer don't have anymore.
No emotion. No sentimentality. Just math.
No real conservative believes that. We start with cutting DOD by 50% in ten years. We cut all tax favors to business, big and small. We SS taxes in the SS fund only. We begin public works programs for those on assistance.
We think and act smart.
Im ok with cutting DoD/military 50% in ten years. Some treat it as a sacred cow. But, take the emotion and sentiment out. Its more government employees. They are subject to cuts as tax dollars require like everyone else.
A "tax favor" to business is different. Its not a government TAKING money. Its allowing a company to NOT PAY a tax. That Im ok with. It helps business. Im ok with government telling a business they don't have to pay full taxes. Hell, make that lower rate the rate for ALL business.
But, all the people living their lives off tax money taken from us? No. No matter who it is, they are living off tax money, and they must accept whatever shortage comes now.
