A Closer Look at Income Tax and the Rich

To Pretzel Logic:

I have no problem with less government as long as we start from a balanced budget.

The arguments as to how we got here, whether through recklessly funded social insurance programs (especially the recent Medicare prescription program passed only by the White House and Denny Hastert strong arming the Republicans), a hugely bloated pentagon or wars we do not pay for are irrelevant.

But, we start by balancing the budget, and THEN reduce expenses and taxes.

And if we want to get all the way to zero, including not wanting to spend for infrastructure, schools, and the enormous amounts it takes to be a superpower, so be it.
