Here is a link to an excellent article about why we have to raise some of our taxes. The article actually does a great job of explaining the major budget/deficit/debt issues, and why the GOP are kidding themselves with their anti-tax positions. Raising taxes on the richer Americans is absolutely necessary if we want to solve our current financial problems. We tax the upper incomes less than any other developed nation, and then sit around arguing about why we are in debt so badly, and how to fix it. I encourage any and everyone to also visit the Tax Policy Center website, and look through some of the historical information. It is interesting to see our highest income tax rates to go from 92% to 91% to 90% to 70% to 50% to 40% to 35% to 34%....visit the site here: http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/index.cfm Say what you want about their leanings....History knows no partisanship.
