Subject: Re: How Deficits Work...
As I said, the system needs an overhaul.
I would favor a provision that every proposal passed by Congress needs to have a price tag, and a line that enacts some form of revenue (tax) associated with it. You don't specify a tax, you can't get your proposal/program. That way they can't spend that extra dime per dollar.
But it still comes down to revenue. The lower and middle class can't sustain that burden. The middle class already is creaking a bit under the strain. It's got to be the wealthy class, and we need to stop allowing them to shield their assets from taxation.
