dippin pretty much covers all of my points more eloquently than I could. Taxes here in the US are at a historically low point. We here in the US are faced with the choice of either cutting government programs (including defense, social programs, etc) drastically, raising taxes to European levels and higher, or a combination of the two. Since the Republican party won't even consider raising taxes, and the 'response' from the Democratic party is pathetic...I weep for the nation.
