Why raising taxes is the right thing to do.

The vast majority of Americans support raising taxes on the super wealthy. A majority supports raising them on the merely wealthy. And a significant minority supports raising them on everybody. Americans want to pay down their debt but the Republicans won't let them. Remember when paying for wars was patriotic? Remember when just paying your taxes was patriotic? But that was before the government became the problem.

Here's what it boils down to;
Democrats; We want to raise taxes but will compromise and cut spending too.
Republicans' Okay, we'll let you compromise.

The Democrats have cut spending. They've cut a lot of spending. It's time to let temporary tax cuts expire. It's time to make a real effort to pay off our war debt. It's time the American people actually paid something for the wars 1% of our population is fighting in our name. Tax cuts during war time, how hollow our patriotism, how cheap our freedom.

It's time for all Americans to step up and do their duty, including the rich and industry. It used to be the American way.
