Conesmasher Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 And on whom is it ok to raise them on? We keep talking about how tax increases will hamper businesses and the consumer, but it seems like there never is a good time. I understand that the large majority would say "never raise them during a downturn".......but realistically?????? Is there ever a good time to raise them? Why do people think that the government can do better things with money than "WE THE PEOPLE" can? It's obvious that there is a funding gap in our national budget and I'm not sure how people think we are going to bridge that gap? The only way is to decrease the increases and increase the revenue. More coming in, less going out. It's unrealistic to think that we could cut the size of gov't down........no one has done this in a LONG time.

copperhead Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 The government spends money on redundant things, mismanages money like crazy, and has huge inflated programs that do nothing, or only help a very small group of people. There is a huge amount of room to cut, but no one in the .gov will admit it, because it could mean their job getting cut. I tried to make a post similar to this before, and nobody really understood the point of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 if government managed the money they already collected properly they would never need to raise taxes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87GT Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 It is always ok to raise taxes. Even more so for Hal and people who make more then 250K a year. ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 or only help a very small group of people.... Yes, but there's so many of these, that you're guaranteed to be able to tap at least one of them! http://deadcantrant.com/shared/images/photo.matthew_lesko.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
