I think archer misses the point of the article. Middle class taxes. Taxing the rich and "spending cuts" are not enough with the big hole we are in, plus the aging population. Neither Romney nor Obama will propose to raise middle class taxes. I think the best hope is economic growth and reformed taxes, which means middle class and rich folks who are maxing out deductions and credits will pay more. Also control spending growth (entitlement reform), there are never any real cuts, just smaller increases.
If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2
Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.
I caught that point, thank you, it was not what I was addressing, but you probably knew that. I have always held the view that the Bush tax cuts were a huge mistake, and we will never balance a budget as long as they remain in place. But....I was speaking only to the line that anyone has claimed that raising taxes on the wealthy should be enough to lower the deficit and pay for promises. I doubt you can show me a quote to that effect.

Is this another case of we don't have a plan, we just don't like yours?
You're confused, that's Romney's line.
It was actually Treasury Sec. Geithner's line.
"We're not coming before you to say we have a definitive solution to our long-term problem. What we do know is we don't like yours."
I pay as little as possible. We left England because of taxes, But our liberal friends think we should pay more, more, more.
They should move away and start their own TAXED country because they are to lazy to get off their asses and take care of themselves.
