Here's an example. I know people who live check to check. Not because they don't make enough money, but because that's how they operate. If they make $600 or $2000 the check will be totally gone come next week.
That's how our government operates, but not only do they spend this weeks check, they spend next weeks and next weeks. Increasing income(taxes) does not address the mentality of always spending more than you have. Increasing taxes will have no affect on the national debt until there is a major change in Washington in regards to how they spend our money.
Giving more crack to a crack addict won't solve the addiction. Taxes aren't the solution to the debt problem until the spending problem is solved.
