And you are proud of that? Way to foist the burden off onto others

What he is saying is that Kerry's plan will not work the way it is set up. The rich are too smart and will get out of the extra taxation. you just continue to have a large deficit cause the rich can and will get out of paying the new higher taxes.

Lets just get rid of all taxes for people of means because they will find ways out of it anyways.
Excellent idea.

To do anything
close to supporting the costs of the government, the sales taxes would have to be
absurdly large. Think along the lines of 50% or higher. With rates that high, people will either
a) Not spend the money.
b) More likely, spend it under the table.
Either way, the country is now in a world of shit.
