When you raise taxes on the rich, they take their money overseas or put it in tax shelters or tax deferred investments."<BR/><BR/>No country has ever spent ittself to prosperity by going into dent either Voltaire, I agree with you that spending is a problem and has been a problem for both partys, however You say responsibilty lies with Congress, and the repugs have controlled congress since 1994, the responsibilty for the deficit lies squarly with the repugs, maybe they were the fiscally responsible party 30 years ago, but thats not the case anymore. <BR/><BR/>another thing, I think its a problem when one party controls all branches of government, with a repug congress and a repug president, the checks and balances are moot incumbants are never going to cut spending or pork because come voting time the people will remember that.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08956882396669105125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102706.post-1151024124168907812006-06-22T17:55:00.001-07:002006-06-22T17:55:00.001-07:00Look at the poor trolls Desperatly trying to be fu...Look at the poor trolls <BR/><BR/>Desperatly trying to be funny.

That's simply a FACT."<BR/><BR/>I believe that revenue coming into the treasury probably did triple under Reagan's tax cuts, I believe the top rate back then was like 70%, that is ornerous and unfair and people probably were hiding their money back then, particularly when the stock market was in a long term bear market till late 82, tax deferred investments probably looked good at the time, but its a different world today, tax rates are probably the lowest they've been since some time after WW2, interest rates are still relatively low, and their are oportunities to make money in the stock market even if we are in long term bear market like the 1970's, the economy boomed under Clinton with slightly higher tax rates for the top bracket and I dont think undoing GWB's tax cuts for the wealthy to Clinton era rates would damage the revenue to the treasury or the economy, in fact I think it would help both by reducing the deficit which in turn would keep interest rates low and keep the economy strong.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08956882396669105125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102706.post-1151023562853235032006-06-22T17:46:00.000-07:002006-06-22T17:46:00.000-07:00Not
