Its probably a wash for me but I am not overly troubled by how much taxes I currently pay.

I am more interested in seeing both candidates and the next Congress implement a serious pay-as-you-go approach to the federal budget, much like the late 1990s where the deficit was eliminated and a significant budget surplus created.

Can the Democrats do it if they control both branches? Or will it take a divided government? Who knows with any degree of certainty?

And in either case, is the country ready for that kind of sacrifice? I think not.
