Joe G,
You are correct, I do not like tax cuts! there is no free lunch, someone has to pay for all that we have the privilege of enjoying in this country, When Reagan cut the taxes from the 60 to 70% range, it started the same bubble that was stared in the last great republican depression now we are doing it again, and the only ones to pay that amount was the ones who made over $300,000 and back then that was more than enough for anyone to live on very comfortably.
the very fallowing year Reagan made the LARGEST tax increase in us history, and it fell on the working class in the form of Social security taxes and exempted those making over 95,000 from paying on the income they made over that, so the major tax burden was placed on the middle class and taken away from those who benefit most from this great country then they started the war on labor and have been at it since, keeping wages down taking away benefits and stripping good working Americans of their dignity,
now we no longer enjoy a living wage, it takes both members of a household working full time just to get by, let alone get ahead. So yes I don't mind paying my taxes, just so long as it is a fair taxation.
As for the democrats you mentioned, I have no control over who those states that they are from vote for, just like I don't care for every republican, the same goes for the democrats, and there were plenty from both parties that had a hand in this one!
