should we pay more taxes?

this is taken out of context, but w/e. i don't feel like rewriting it

I'm actually learning about GDP right now, and how it works is that Government spending is added in with consumer spending. so it doesn't really matter which part of the gdp gets the money. and if the government is spending more money than it has, wouldn't it make sense to stop giving the government money?

for example. a kid who knows nothing decides to spend tons of money on his new credit card. then the bill comes and he shits his pants, cries, and eventually tells his parents. now imagine yourself as the parent, do you give the kid the money to pay it back or do something to fix the problem? yes. do you give the kid more money to **** around with so he can do it again? no.

All levels of government are now crying poor since they overspent as you indicated, and now need you to continue to support them in the lifestyle to which they've become accustomed.

Alas, in America, where most people are depressingly stupid, this technique will largely work.  Most people had better prepare for paying a lot more taxes and fees in the next 8 years at least.
