The answer to that question is irrelevant to how much revenue our country needs. It is not the goal (or even authority) of tax policy to sort out winners and losers. That's the free market's job.
answer my question, dude.
who in America is having the best go at it? who runs things in America?
yes.
now answer my question
We have to get out of the land wars. That will save tens of billions.
We also have to cut other spending but it is a double edged sword. Some of those cuts will cost jobs.
What's amazing to me is that some people think cutting spending doesn't have any impact on unemployment.
a) rich people
b) oil companies
How do you think they feel about the current situation?
None of them are investing in new lines of business or hiring; thus, the economy sputters and chokes its way to long-term, double digit unemployment. There are several explanations for that fact, but undeniably among them are government regulation, the prospect of future taxation to pay for entitlement programs like health care, etc., and restrictions on exploration.
I see a very happy and content wealthy class in America. I see revenues and profits on the rise across almost all business sectors. ***
LOL...yea, it's called "wake forest fan club".I'm pretty sure you're in a cult, Pour.
Those regulations don't protect the little guy from the government class who is also looking to screw him over by making him dependent on them, and the wealthy just take advantage of that dependence. That's how they get over on the little guy in the 2000s.you want to slash their benefits and the regulations in place to protect the little guy to solve the deficit that was caused by debt-fueled expansion that went disproportionally to the wealthy. crazy

The government class conned everyone into making cheap guaranteed loans to everyone because it would not be "fair" otherwise. The wealthy then made money on the up and down ride they knew was going to end. Everyone but the government class and ultimately wealthy lost. You blame the wealthy, but they're just doing what you would do. The government class are the ones who set it all up. We could have stopped it, but were too worried about political correctness to do the right thing....too worried about helping the little guy to slash his cheap loan benefits.

But if you're serious about these issues, you really should give generational theory a chance. People always say history repeats itself but can never really put their finger on how. Generational theory describes history as a repeating ~80 year cycle of prevailing dogma.
What repeats are the reactions to issues, the patterns of how those concerns get harder to justify as the issues of the dogma get resolved, and types of people that dominate each part of the cycle. What changes are the specific objects of those concerns and outcomes. We forget the cycle because the part of previous cycle where people felt the same was one lifetime past and now forgotten. Make sense?

Our fiscal woes bear almost no relation to a failure to tax. There is a parade of horribles of waste.
