Raising the Debt Ceiling

Tea partiers, What the fuck is wrong with you? You're about to cause the US treasury to default on its loans. Isn't that exactly the kind of shit a fiscal conservative would want to prevent?

|everyone wishes to pay double of tax

No no, you don't understand. Sixty years ago the top marginal tax rate was 91%. Today it's in the 30s, and most super rich pay less than that because the capital gains tax is only 15%. The wealthiest people in this country pay far less as a percentage of their income than the middle class does. The wealthiest people in this country also control an overwhelming majority of this nation's wealth and income.

In the past decade we've cut taxes on the rich some more and started two wars. Add in a global economic disaster and that's why we've got the issues that we have today. The most obvious solution is to set the tax rate back to what it was sixty years ago, but that is not even on the table because all congresspeople, senators, and the president are rich as fuck and you won't find many politicians willing to vote against their own personal interests. It is not necessary for the vast majority of americans to pay a single penny more on taxes.
