Why do democrats support taxes increases.

Question

I'm not here to defend this administration or any other. Do people realize how much money our government waste of our tax dollars. I'm not against social programs. I'm against the misappropriation of funds. Tell me why any of us should hand over anymore of our hard earned money to a bunch of corrupt Americans. Especially ones who have never spent a day in the private sector. I'm no admirer of Republicans, but come on Democrats, do you really think your politicians look out for your best interest?

Answer 1

dems like to pay as they go vice the borrow and spend policies of the GOP...and let's not forget how Bush increased the size of the fed. govt. every year since he's been in office

Answer 2

The more poor people in this country,The more they need the Democrats to feed them, Welfare ruined a lot of families,Took away the incentive to get ahead The dems would love us to depend on them to eat so they can control what you say and think,Dems are not what they use to be.It was a working mans party now its a welfare party. Sickening I was a dem for 35 yrs, The old timers are turning over in their graves.Do you know even in Communist countries the rich live very well..and the poor stay poor.

Answer 3

I agree with you in sediment, but there are two choices, reduce spending or increase taxes. One of those options must be used because we cannot continue to indefinitely borrow. I think we need a combination of the two. I don't want tax increases on individuals, because no matter how much I get taxed, my life really doesn't change that much, except being out of the taxed amount. I would rather see tax loop holes closed, or even go to a flat tax for everyone, and do away with the majority of the IRS.

Either way one thing is certain, politicians will continue to get rich sending tax money to companies. Just ask Cheney.

Answer 4

I think that George Bernard Shaw explained it the best when he said: " A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul".  

The democrat voters are Paul.

Answer 5

Because they are totally stuck on stupid! The think big government is better the more cradle to grave programs to better. Free enterprise is what this country was built on and should stay that way. Taxing people into oblivion will not grow an economy.

Answer 6

Any politician who is fiscally responsible supports tax increases. How else to get us out of the hole that liberal spending (including the Bush War) got us into? Would you prefer that we continue to go deeper and deeper in debt, wasting more and more money on interest?
