Would low debt mean lower taxes for everyone.

we have this huge debt becuase the government says so, who do we owe this money to? ourselves!!! so really there is no debt, it is an excuse to get more taxes out of us!!!

I don't like high taxes, but if they come with good government service and infrastructure I don't mind. We want our money to be something we can enjoy. Pay less taxes and save more money but have bad government and infrastructure, doesn't sound enjoyable.

Actually, I was just thinking what would happen if everyone quit paying their taxes, would the government start listening to us? That would definitely hit the headlines.

Sure, if that's what is needed.  Truthfully, we have a great deal of tax revenue.  But I'd like to see it going for roads, education, health care, programs to help impoverished people.  And that's what tax revenue is for, to keep society functioning smoothly.  I also would like to see an equitable tax system.  And I'd like to see bureaucracy cut, one of the biggest drains of tax revenues.  And I'd like to see...\n\nPeace.

we should raise the gas tax and lower the income tax

Of course, and taxes are too low right now. We dont have enough resources to pay for everything...\n\nI would fund the federal government the most because disasters dont understand borders

You're right, everything will increase.  What will decrease is the tax cuts and when it comes tax time, the tax credits for children will make people sick and sorry they elected those morons into office.\n\nAww, so many thumbs down.  Haha. shows how many ignorant ones voted the other ignorant ones into office.  Just in case you haven't been listening to the dems plans, they plan on stopping the tax credits, which by the way we (not rich) and many other families I know have benefited from.  Wake up and smell the coffee.  Oh wait, the libs must have a stuffed up nose 'cause they'll never smell the stink that they cause.

YES, we the people are the government, not congress.  i want to see a REAL  man that will reduce taxes instead of raising them.  any stupid person can raise taxes,  but it takes a special person to reduce them.  remember, "READ MY LIPS", what does that tell you about wimps.  Yes, we should have our vote on any tax issue.

I think that's a great idea.  Sure, it'd mean a bit more in taxes, but First Aid and CPR are worth the money, and basic living skills may even save money in the long run by helping out people who aren't well-off stay off welfare and medicaid.

No, I do not wish for my children to have to worry about all that debt.  Sadly, there is not much I can do about it other than vote wisely, and prepare my children to be wise and to try to change the world themselves.

Lowered taxes.... no terrorist attacks, economy booming (because of lowered taxes), unemployment at it's lowest *ever* (again, because of lowered taxes), fighting the Islamic Jihadist (who wish to take away my right to exist)....\n\nIs that enough?

Not at all.  In order to spur economic growth it is best to give tax cuts to the poor.  They will spend it all which enlarges the econmy.  Giving tax cuts to the rich does not do this.

Flat tax. No matter your income, you pay 15% and we are done. Every American pay his 15% and rich or poor contributes the same % of his/her earnings. \n\nThis Liberal agrees that rich folks should not be punished for their success. \n\nDo away with all the tax confusion and loopholes and let everyone pay their fair share.

Budget deficits are only good when\n(a) there is no risk of inflationary pressure\n(b) the country is in recession\n(c) whatever is loaned is spent on increasing productivity.\n\nWhile fiscal discipline is worth striving for, it would be problematic if low interest rates result in a blow-out in consumer borrowing.

yeah. Think of the tax you save!

Nah. I think it could be great. War would be rare, people would eat well, education would change to fit individual need, and taxes could be lowered because spending would be different.

It's true.  If a guy who doesn't pay taxes is taking that job he can typically work for less money and have a comfortable living.
