Quote from Ricter:

You've admitted this week that taxes are too low for some. A few focus on spending only, a few focus on revenue only, and a majority consider both. I know damn well in Canton GA you are not living under a "crushing" tax burden. The only reason you harp on taxes is because you're toeing your party line, the tea party no doubt.

Obama wants a balanced approach. What is the definition of balance.

If the top 1% make 20% of all income, would it be fair that they pay 20% of all taxes?
If the bottom 10% makes 1% of all income would it be fair they pay 1% of all taxes?
 
Well, the majority at my house believes in deep spending cuts. We also believe there is no need to confiscate more of the people's money.

Further, we believe that everyone should pay a little. Therefore, our poll here at my house indicates that we should abolish the slave master known as the IRS and convert the country to a consumption tax, similar to this: www.fairtax.org
 
Vast pools of capital, record in their size and presently unused, need to be "loaned" somehow to the average American worker. I don't care if you call it WPA or workfare, but it needs to be done. Team USA is strong and solvent when everyone is working and can contribute a share to the team's common interest. Unemployment is a drag in two directions: safety net expenditures and loss of revenue. In this light, I'm not interested in looking under mattresses. Go "where the money is". If capital tries to flee, block it.

it is not possible to fix the debt problem with only cuts outside of the military. the more you cut beyond a certian point the deeper we go into depression causing more debt because of social costs.

America’s debt is not its biggest problem

As the entire world strives to put its own people to work before other nations do, policymakers constructively lower interest rates and delay sovereign, corporate and household defaults to provide breathing room. Fiscally, however, an anti-Keynesian, budget-balancing immediacy imparts a constrictive noose around whatever demand remains alive and kicking. Washington hassles over debt ceilings instead of job creation in the mistaken belief that a balanced budget will produce a balanced economy. It will not.

Kinda like the Nazi's did? When a Jew fled Germany they had to leave 90% of their assets to do so.
