I really do not have a problem

with taxing the rich more because they do make enough to spare. That still isn't fair to them, but I'm not rich...so whatever.  LOL.  However, the issue at hand here is.....how will the government spend that extra money they thief from the rich?  Obama wants more government funded programs....that will jack up the government spending.  Once more people start living off of government programs and we have universal health care, the costs of those programs will go up.  That is just how it works and with that....so will the taxes for everyone....including us little people who are struggling now.  If they truly felt the rich could be taxed to take care of all of these spending issues, they would literally bankrupt the rich because raising their taxes alone will not pay for all these so-called plans Obama has.  Also, you raise taxes for the people making 250,000....that puts a strain on a lot of small companies and I don't know about you guys but I'm tired of big businesses running us.  We need our small business owners too.  They employ people too and putting more taxes on them is just going to cut down on employment and drive small businesses to close.

I truly would not have a problem paying a bit more taxes for my country.  I really don't want to, but I do want to contribute.  However, I don't want to contribute when I know we have a bunch of morons in Washington spending money like there is no tomorrow.  THAT is the problem.  Government spending is the problem and that issue can be blamed on all sides.  That isn't limited to one party alone.  They are all to blame for this!
