Just remember however, that when the Democroats where in the White House prior to Bush in 2000, this country had a 5 billion dollar surplus in the budget, we now in 6 1/2 years have the largest defeciet in US History,(half of which was occured in Bush's first 6 month in office, most of this is prior to 911) also remember, that while we recently paid $3.25 a gallon for gas (regular anyway) that all the major oil compaines reported the LARGEST PROFITS in their histories for 3 months, some as much as 32 BILLION dollars for 3 months work
My point is that taxes may be raised, however do to the fact that we as a nation now face the largest budget defiect in our histiry, it is going to take, genenration to take care of this, and I do not believe for 1 second that the Republicans can take care of this defiect in 5 years considering that every 30 days or so Congress, the Republicans keep approving BILLIONS in monthly support for Irq and Afghanistan,that month billoins has to yet payed back somehow I support ALL our troops unconditionaly, I support the war in Afghanistan, but not Iraq,
So if the repbulican congress continues to pour billoins into these wars, how can THEY plan to balalnce our buget without raising taxes if we keep spending BILLIONS to fight terrorism, do the math it does not ballance, if you owe out to creditors $30,000 and you only earn $45,000 a year, you could not possibly pay off your creditors in 5 years based on what you earn and what you owe, I HAVE BEEN THERE i know what it is like to be in way over my head, i had a visa card with a $1,100 balalnce, i am disabled I live on social security disability, with rent, food ect ect, i could not possibly pay off my visa card in 2 years
Thanks again for your reply, and as I said, I may not agree with your view but I support it, respect and will defend it with my life, isn't democracry great, you can disagree but still agree

The problem isn't TAX cuts, TAX cuts always help the economy grow. And tax revenue is at an all time HIGH the problem is with SPENDING..
If the Democrates as the minority party had faught for SPENDING CUTS in non military spending, then I might support a few of them, but Democrates NEVER vote to CUT spending. Plus the democrates are way to soft on the Illegal alien issue..
think about it.. we have a 4.4% unemployment, if we CUT illegals comeing across the boarder, and start deporting many that are here ILLEGALLY, then that would be MORE jobs for American Citizens, and the unemployment rate would decrease, tax revenue would increase, and spending COULD be cut (yeh right, very politicians have the guts to actually cut spending) on non military items like welfare...
