(V): You go right ahead and raise all the taxes you want in the UK. We aren't the UK. We fought not to be over 200 years ago.
The "rich" already pay more than their share of the taxes.
We spend MORE than we should be. If we cut down to the bare minimum, and more is needed? Then MAYBE I'd agree that more taxes are needed. We haven't even scratched the surface of what spending needs to be cut though.
Most of us are forced to live within our budget. The wasteful Federal Govt. needs to be forced to do the same.
