Why do CONS think cutting taxes is the answer?

Question

as a society its only fair to pay taxes for many services that the government provides. If people wanted to pay only the amount of taxes they wanted to then we would not have enough money to run the most populous states let alone the whole country or annexing our 51st state Iraq.

Aside from my political views and stating facts- the US has a 50 TRILLION dollar deficit that bush created by financing the wars with loans from China. If the chinese want there money back our country would be begging for a recession, because we would be in a depression. Do you cons really think giving tax cuts to the wealthiest households will improve the country? I doubt all or most of you all make 500k a year. This isnt the time to keep cutting taxes. The MCCAIN/Bush policy no tax & spend at least obamas is tax and spend

IOUSA- watch it and enlighten yourself

Answer 1

Because it is... duh... even JFK recognized that

Answer 2

This country was founded on opposition to being heavily and unjustly taxed.  If you like taxes, I'll give you all of my ******* taxes.  Have at it.  

Answer 3

judging by your avatar..... We should raise your taxes!!!! Captain n teniele!

Answer 4

Have you noticed how many large corporations are out sourcing?  That is to avoid paying the extremely high taxes.  We are already paying taxes with almost half of our incomes as it is.  Lower taxes, more jobs, more revenue to pull from.

Answer 5

They care only about themselves, period.  I don't like paying taxes, either, but I can see why it's necessary.  How else do we maintain our roads/highways?  Fund our schools? And the many other necessary things that taxpayers pay for.  

Answer 6

Economics 101, if you tax the very people that supply jobs they will downsize or move out of the country, thus loss of jobs. We need jobs for a bigger tax base & cut government spending...pretty simple.

Answer 7

They think that because their contributors tell them to cut taxes.  

The real solution is to reduce the government.  If we didn't have 32 American military bases all over the world, and Navy the patrols the world, we could cut defense spending. If we throw WWII generation under the bus, we could abolish social security and medicare.  If leave people to fend for themselves during disaster, we could cut spending for Fema and Federal Fire Fighters.  If you don't mind driving on gravel, stop funding spending for roads and bridges. If make it national law that all person carry a gun in public, we can cut police spending.

The real challenge is figuring out what benefits you want from a central government and the cost you want to pay for them.
