You want the deficit/debt down? There is ONLY ONE WAY to do that - raise taxes!!!

The “Tax Cuts Pay For Themselves,” and ‘trickle down,” and “supply-side economics” gimmickry has been proven, since 1981, to be a lie. A lie for the sole purpose of letting the few pay less in taxes.

We don’t have a spending problem - we have a revenue problem.

Paraphrasing someone once wrote of the top tax rate: “If 68% was good enough for Reagan, it should be good enough for you.”
