    Hey! Here is an idea, instead of dealing with the increasing debt by taking more money from tax payers wealthy or otherwise, let's just stop the spending.

    Agree that spending is the problem. Let's leave the tax rates the way they are and start some real spending cuts.

    The big problem is the Government is spending way tooooo much money.
    Cut the waste!

    Double dipping is a big problme

    the Feds are involved in too many things.

    Case in point - I work for a C-Store chain - recently the Fed did a string operation for underage beer sales.
    Why are the Feds doing this - that should be the responsibility of the local govt.
    All these Seat belt checkpoints around holidays are done by local police - BUT funded by the FEDS!
    Farmers are paid NOT to grow crops.
    When I got out of the Army - there was a policy - for example a GI is stationed at Ft Carson, Co, he gets orders to go to Korea for one year with a direct assignment right back to Ft Carson. With his PCS orders, his family could move back to the East Coast at Govt Expense. A year later, the Army would move them back to Ft Carson. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY!

    Why is their Cable TV in our Federal prisons...
    the list could go on.

    Federal budget for FY 2015

    What else could be cut?

    The tax rates are a whole other issue that has its own problems even divorced from the debt. It gives too much power to the establishment such as Boehner and Obama.

    It is also an unfair tax system since it is impossible to understand our own taxes and even tax experts struggle with the system. That should not be in America. We need a system that does not require accounts do do our taxes. It should be simple and even.
