President Barack Obama’s re-election has stiffened Democrats’ spine against cutting popular benefit programs like Medicare and Social Security. Their new resolve could become as big a hurdle to reaching a deal for skirting economy-crippling tax increases and spending cuts in January as Republicans’ resistance raising tax rates on the wealthy.

President Obama wants to increase the taxes on the high-income people in the United States. This would be a tragic mistake.
Our high-income people are those who finance and operate our industries and businesses which provide jobs for our citizens. Increasing taxes on them would make it impossible for them to compete with their foreign competitors, and they would either have to go out of business or move to a foreign country. We would loose the jobs that they create.
The solution to our national debt problem is really quite simple: Stop the reckless, unnecessary government spending.

Cut wasteful spending?
Cool!
Lets begin with the wasteful funding of Hill Air Force Base. Close it down. We have enough bases around the world. Let those workers up there get real jobs at Delta Airlines or something.

There is no developed country on the face of the earth where rich people could move and pay less in taxes than they do in the U.S.
Instead of second guessing everything our legitimately elected President proposes...and ran on...why not run for office yourself?
