Seriously, this is illogical and ignorant. So why do you want to keep less of your money and give more away to the government?
Be specific please
Okay, it's not that we want to pay more taxes. We think the rich should pay their fair share of theirs. But let's leave the argument off to the side.
The alternatives to paying taxes are 1) Not spending on key things we need and 2) borrowing to pay for those things.
Neither of those are preferable options.
Fact is, most of what the government spends, isn't discretionary. We've already cut public spending to the bone, and the fact is, with a retiring population, we still have more obligations than revenues.
As for borrowing, we've been doing that for 30 years, the economy is not going to grow its way out of the deficit.
