We don’t have a revenue problem…
we have a spending problem. The media would lead you to believe if we end the Bush tax cuts for the rich, we'll avoid the fiscal cliff. Raising the taxes on the 'rich' will bring in around $80 billion in new revenue... less than 20% of the fiscal cliff. Just last month we had a $122 BILLION deficit. Bottom line: the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy for an entire year can't even cover the deficit of a single month. We must get our spending under control.
