I've already explained that but it was many pages ago so I'll rephrase:

Yeah, no one's stupid enough to say that increased government spending won't lead to more taxation down the road (except the republicans, that is, who think (or claim to think) cutting taxes and upping spending will make us all rich). The choice now is between being poor until the country finally implodes, or in agreeing to a given tax burden in the future in exchange for saving the country and our wallets. I don't see why people would have a problem with this.

Additionally, the increased taxes will fall upon the wealthiest of society, which is doubly fair because they got their wealth because of society and therefore owe society more, and because for 30 years they've been unfairly gobbling up the wealth thanks to the dumbassed policies that put us in this situation in the first place.

Finally, I find the entire concept of the tea parties disingenuous because none of these guys banded together to howl about Bush's bailouts, and none of them banded together to bitch about the crazy governmental spending of Reagan and the Bushes. Where were they then? Is it only Democrat spending that increases our taxes? That's an awfully interesting magical world they live in, doncha think?
