I am glad that you admit the OP was a lie.

And yet we learn nothing from Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal, Ireland.... Yep, lets follow that path of unsustainable social policies..

Greece is collapsing, the Iranians are getting aggressive, and Rome is in disarray. Welcome back to 430 BC

I'm not advocating the Euro or Canadian social program model or suggesting we should follow their ideas. Just pointing out that they at least attempt to fund them with broad based taxes like high payroll, gas, and sales, VAT taxes. In the US we have 1/2 the tax payers paying zero income taxes, yet we keep adding or expanding entitlements that are not fully funded.

I notice that no one on the right will reply to the math problem:

Here is a little math experiment...Let's say the expiration of the tax-cut for the top 2% goes through. If you make $300,000 the next year, how much extra would you pay in taxes?

Not enough to even make interest payments on the debt.

You will have to define how the $300K was made in order for the question to be answered correctly. As we are all well aware, income derived from differing sources is tax at different rates. Now I am sure that you will want to downplay the increased amount of taxes that the person would be subject to, but you will still have to define how the income was earned before an accurate answer can even be contemplated.

Not at all Dog - in terms of raw dollars it will be the largest single tax increase in the history of the union. That baseline, raw dollars, is the same one the left uses to sustain their charge of "record profits" for Big Oil by the way, so it would seem to me to be fair to use that same baseline to sustain the argument that ObamaCare is the single largest tax increase in the history of the union to date.
