Jay, rich people are usually rich because they are good with their money. The government not so much with your money. Soon to be 21 trillion in the red. It's not government's job to invest in companies like Solyndra to the tune of 500 billion plus. You how how many people could be helped with that money? Instead its ... oh well it's only taxpayer money. 500 million here, 1 billion there, 918 billion to bail out bankers, few hundred million to waste anywhere and it adds up. They borrow money from the social security to spend it on whatever the fukking feel like. Nation building in Iraq and a 15 year war in Afghanistan. And you are ok with these thieves doing even more of this? While Detroit's water supply is poison? Americans let politician get away with this nonsense and that's why they keep doing it. That's why a moron like BS has the audacity to even suggest it. The nation has been desensitized to their criminal activity.
They need to have a legislated balanced budget. If they need to do a stimulus, it must contain no pork. Like Reagan did. He vetoed any stimulus bill that had pork.
Cruz is right. 10% flat tax and a VAT on everything. The economy will boom and the millions more taxpayers will generate more revenue but it has to go to a responsible government.
