Again, it's pretty obvious that some additional taxation is going to have to occur (no matter what both parties say - it's going to effect EVERYONE one way or another). My concern is that we 1) don't go hog wild in thinking the 'evil rich' should pay for it all, and 2) We not dig ourselves deeper into the hole on socialist programs (free health care, benefit programs for those 'not contributing to society' etc.) | Two excellent posts! I have nothing to add here.
