My problem is I don't agree with any candidate that thinks tax cuts, when we go a couple of million dollars futher in debt in the time it takes to write this, are the answer. This is my main complaint with most conservative ideals. I think shifting the tax burden and looking out for someone other than huge corporations and the very rich are going to be key. The national debt must be addressed and we must change directions for our economy to hold up in the future, even if this means a slight increase in taxes. We can't keep borrowing. It may even be starting to effect our ecomony now. | I definitely agree with you that the national debt needs to be addressed, but I do not agree that a slight increase in taxes is necessarily the solution. Romney never raised taxes in Massachusetts and he was able to turn around the debt into a surplus. He has also worked with insurance companies so that everyone can afford healthcare in Massachusetts. This is something that might make some conservatives itch, but it seems like he is working with reasoning to get things done the right way, not what everyone in a party supports. |
