    The same Americans that approve of Obama and can't balance their own check books no doubt.

    NO amount of tax increases will balance the federal budget.

    We don't have a revenue problem; we have a fiscally irresponsible congress with an addiction to spending other sheeples money problem.

    The only tax increase I favor is estate taxes.
    Dead dudes don't need their dough!
    Force the kids to go to work. No more Kennedy kids.
    If any Democrat doesn't want to raise estate taxes, he is part of the ruling class.

    Huh? Having wealth to give to your kids is not your only motivation, is it?

    Honestly, yes it is. All for my wife and kids, pretty much.

    I came from nothing. Im happy to have a house, food and oil in the tank for warmth.

    I have had the winds to my back and the sun on my face. I consider myself lucky to have what I have. I contribute to charity sometimes...but on my own accord. The last thing I want is the fed spending my lifes work to fund wars.

    fair enough, but I have a problem with jacking up the estate tax also. Using someone's death to gouge them....it's already steep

    I hear you, and that's a great attitude. So... don't deny your wife and kids learning that lesson with free money from you!

    It's socialism, and we all know that's no good.

  10. That's why you have term life insurance!
    I don't advocate 100% estate tax. 50% is good. Your wife and kids can go to work.
    You need to quit spoiling your kids. [​IMG]
