[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Government could probably run a 1-2% deficit in perpetuity. [/quote]

My cat could probably fly in perpetuity, after one good jump.[/quote]

If the economy grows at a 3-5% clip and the deficit is 1-2% of GDP ... the debt/GDP ratio will constantly be shrinking.

Now running deficits to fund operating costs is foolishness -- [b]too many people want the goodies government provides but are unwilling to pay the taxes[/b].[/quote] The people who want the goodies are not the ones paying taxes.

You're right, I'm pretty pissed that I pay 35%+ in tax while Mitt Romney pays an effective rate of around 10%.

Too bad I didn't buy a yacht or some dressage horses - I could really use the tax break. [/quote]

yup--taxes are no  problem as lng as someone else is paying them or paying more, and of course obly rich republicans tax advantage of current tax laws... :roll:

As my childhood pastor told us on Sundays:
"Offerings are not about equal giving. No one should feel bad about giving $1, if that's all they can afford. Nor should our wealthiest feel boastful about giving $100. It's not about equal giving; it's about equal sacrifice."

Mitt should pay 35%. So should Warren Buffet. They don't need to pay more. But they should be paying less - percentage wise - than a middle class person.

Equal sacrifice.[/quote]

Yeah no I disagree. [b]We're a nation of laws and that means equality before the law, and that includes taxes.[/b]  They pay too much as it is.[/quote]

I don't understand what this means at all. The tax code is broken and is punitive against the middle class. I think it should be changed so that everyone shares in the burden equally, in terms of sacrifice.[/quote]
