[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]4) If you believe we have a deficit problem -- and I don't believe we do -- then you must understand that reducing the deficit can occur through either additional revenues or by cuts. It doesn't matter whether there have been previous tax increases. It doesn't change this simple fact. The Republicans only want cuts and they want those cuts to come from domestic discretionary spending and entitlements (the old, the sick, and the poor). That is their position and it is a valid position. The President wants a combination of revenue raised from closing tax loopholes and cuts which include the military. That is a equally valid position. The American people need to decide which position it favors. Most public opinion polls show the public siding with the President. [/quote]

You could tax the 1% at 100% and still not have enough revenue.
Also, all the public opinion polls I have seen have you choose between two sides: The President or the Republicans in Congress.  Almost never are Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats mentioned.  Occasionally, the Dems are lumped in with the President--but rarely.  You and I both know that polls depend on the questions and how they are asked.[/quote]

So what? You can tax the 1% at 50% and eliminate loopholes and have a much much smaller problem. Just because something is not a panacea doesn't mean it's not a key component of a solution.[/quote]
