How long do you think that can continue, while everybody just enjoys the fruits of his own labor?
What is happening now is that everyone, poor and rich alike, are enjoying the fruits of someone else's money.

I didn't ask for all that spending - very little of it, if any, was on my behalf. I was against most, if not all of it. I'm not responsible for that debt. I'm also not enjoying a DIME of someone else's money. The only federal service I use is the highway and my slice of the active military missions in Iraq & Afghanistan. I'm not using troops in Germany, subsidized ANYTHING, or Social Security, but I'm sure paying for it.
Specifics, chum, specifics. Making the income tax more progressive doesn't solve the spending problem, it creates more spending.
