Instead of raising taxes as some would insist, we need to reduce waste and inefficiency in government.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The problem is government spends too much. So raising taxes is what politicians do, instead of reducing spending.
So if we are really concerned about generating more taxes, we ought to be investing in our people, not taking away the kinds of resources that contribute to their ability to become greater taxpayers in this country.
There's no reason to raise taxes. Taxes should be lower... The problem we have is that government spends too much, not that taxes are too low.
Higher taxes is the road to ruin. We must and we will shrink our government, and that means making some tough choices, tightening our belts.
I don't believe we need any more taxes. We need to curtail the size of government. That seems to be a common thread among a majority of Americans out there that understand that we have to limit the size and scope of our government.
Tax increases slow economic growth. Why would you raise taxes? We need to reform spending, the tens of trillions of unfunded liabilities can never be funded by tax increases, that can only be fixed by reducing spending.
We don't need new taxes. We need new taxpayers, people that are gainfully employed, making money and paying into the tax system. And then we need a government that has the discipline to take that additional revenue and use it to pay down the debt and never grow it again.
It is time to cut out the mountains of waste and inefficiency and duplication in the federal government.
The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.
If we want to increase revenue, we need more taxpayers. The way to do that is employ more people.
