Government has to borrow to meet it's day to day obligations. Democrats are telling us that government is the answer to joblessness and poverty. We have more poverty now than we did when LBJ was in office and government has grown considerably... if more government was the answer then we would be better off.... Conclusion: the government is not here to help me!!
Bigger government and progressive taxation are mutually exclusive. Corporations do not pay taxes. They pay politicians to give them government monies in fact, some are net income positive when they fill out their massive tax forms for the year. Wealthy people pay taxes but they pay politicians to subsidize their favorite hobbies like flying, golfing, etc.. They donate to charities and get tax write-offs... their kids go to Universities that are massively subsidized by tax monies, they might even be net income positive when they fill out their tax forms.. Poor people do not pay taxes because they are exempted from taxes, in fact very many get rebates after they fill out their tax forms. Who does that leave? Working stiffs! They are trapped, their employer takes out the taxes before they even get the money!! But take a look at the plight of the working stiff. There are no jobs, of course government advocates say that the government can fix that but they can't fix that any more than they can fix all the sick, lame and lazy that they already support...
