How about cutting outrageous salaries, pensions and perks paid or made available to Senators, Representatives and their staffs? I don't think anyone in Congress or working for Congress is receiving food stamps. Let's face it: we no longer have a representative government. We are governed by well-do-do people who are determined to preserve their jobs, their salaries and their perks.
How long have the tax cuts been in force for large corporations? Why then are we still at 9 percent unemployment? Where has the money gone? In the pockets of CEO's and polititions?
I think the Bust tax cuts for those making over $250,000 should be stopped. Everyone know we have a progressive tax, meaning those who make more should pay more. The only way goverment is going to make more money is by making the rich pay the taxes they should be paying anyway.
I agree the rich should pay theirs share of tx
Lucky, from a guy's perspective, I love the "BUST TAX CUTS".

Congress and Obama talk about cutting entitlements on Americans, I think the first entitlements to be cut should be to forgien goverments quit tring to buy friends. Next cut entitlements to big companies, like oil and others.
I agree and want things to change
