Twenty One Tax Hikes by Obama

Quote from Ricter:

That's why I mentioned what I call, in this context, the California Problem. The US is a low-tax country on average, but if you live in CA, for example, as jem has pointed out, your taxes are in fact well above average. So the problem arises that supposedly fair, and simplistic, across-the-board tax increases would not be fair.

Ricter, even in states like TX where you pay no state income taxes, almost everyone pays some or all of these taxes.

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago and our nation was the most prosperous in the world, had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world and Mom stayed home to raise the kids. What the hell happened?

So California has some of the highest taxes AND one of the biggest budget deficits and debt problems?

Apparently higher taxes aren't the answer to anyone's spending problem.

Liberals walk along spewing their tax and spend rhetoric but they never see the deep holes right in front of them that they invariably step into and nearly break their necks. If they could just follow the path of truth there would be no holes to step in.

That'd require having to remove a lot of the people that were "elected" to run the "American" government.
