• Wilkow: Why Simply Taxing the Rich Does Not Solve the Problem

  November 10, 2012 at 11:42am

  There is a very good reason to oppose any plan for raising taxes in exchange for spending cuts. Under every plan put forth by the Democrats, the tax increases go into effect immediately and the spending cuts are to take place in the future. From past experience we know that will never happen. How about this for all the out there. We cut spending by 3 dollars for each of the next three years to get one dollar of new taxes in some future year. Also, cuts must be real… must be an actual reduction in spending from that spent in the previous year. I know, that is unheard of in Washington where a spending cut is a cut from next years’s proposed spending which of course is not a spending cut at all.
  And the President is partially right on one thing, we must have a balanced approach. Therefore, all of those who earn income (the 47% who do not pay taxes) must begin paying taxes before there is any talk of increasing taxes on the rich or middle class. We have too many people who are taking from the cookie jar and voting for more cookies, but they are not putting anything into the cookie jar. Until that changes, we are doomed. The takers will continue to vote for more and their numbers will continue to grow until there are no more cookies in the jar and the system collapses.
