It's time for people to assume responsibilty of their own well being.
I agree. First steps are to get rid of the parasitic unions and abolish the Dept of Ed
So you want to raise taxes on other people, right? And oh, does tightening the belt include cutting redundant social programs? Didn't think so
Find me one person in this country that has starved due to the lack of the indivduals income or the lack of money in a govt program. Also, please keep in mind that's it's the evil rich people that pay the overwhelming majority of taxes that support the numerous govt programs that the Left seems to love.

I'm sorry if it comes across as just the "rich" I am yelling at. I am saying it to all of us.
And yes, if there are redundant programs then cut them.
What I meant by tightening our belt was that WE ALL must make sacrifices if we are to better this country.
To pull the attitude "I pay far more in taxes than you do" is petty and yeah if you make a million and pay 1/2 then it is a lot. I understand but people making $30,000 and paying 1/4 are hit harder.
We had an article in the Plain dealer and several othe locals about how the state of Ohio will have to pay $10 million or something more into Medicaid to cover the feds prescription drug program.
All the feds are doing by cutting taxes now is passing the buck to the states and communities that cannot afford it. Esp. Ohio where the unemployment is high, tax base is shrinking because wages are and there is no relief in sight.
We need to all stop being selfish and think about the future and put the fucking greed and who pays what and whether or not it's fair behind us. In the 50's and 60's when we were #1 in everything our tax rates were multiple times higher than they are now. And while I am sure people complained we had the best country in the world. WE set the standards and the rest of the world tried to catch up to us.
I just think we can find a common ground and do what is best for everyone not just the individual. We need to share goals and stop bickering and crying and complaining and find ways to achieve our goals TOGETHER.
UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL.
We can make this country the greatest in the history of mankind again, but we better get our acts together and work beside each other and not against each other..... or we will be a country with nuclear bombs and massive military but noone smart enough to fix things or have money to teach anyone to fix things.
