I get your point in that raising the tax rate across the board is tough but it is the bigger issues will create the real revenue.

The US needs to pay down the debt. Neither side seems to care about this but it is the truth. Doing nothing allows this to happen so they will do nothing. Pretty easy to see why it is happening.

You are personally outraged why?
outraged?
No, I'm laughing at all of the outrage of the left over Bush's tax cuts for the rich.

We spend $1trillion a year more than we have. Taxes on the rich won't change that. In fact, NO tax increase will change that.
The spending must stop. our deficit has very little to do with tax cuts.
