So Jet, you think by taxing and spending more that somehow the debt will be reduced? This isn't the Clinton era, The debt is at $16 trillion and growing, you don't think at some point that crushing debt will come falling down? Where is Obama reducing it? The CBO has clearly stated that debt will be over $22 trillion by 2022. How is that reducing it? Obama won't have any money to give out if we are bankrupt.

I agree we need a new tax structure like a flat tax or something similar. Hell anything other than the current system would probably be a positive. But to keep adding more to the current system is a fucking joke. Besides when is the last time taxes were raised and the Government made cuts in order to curb the debt? N E V E R... is the answer you're looking for. Obama raising taxes is going to do the same thing, they will simply take that extra cash and spend it on something ridiculous like only Government seems to do.
