The poor mainly pay sales tax, the rich pay income tax.

Income tax has been chopped, sales tax hasn't dropped one cent, and government services have been seriously cut back.

The rich just took a big wad of cash from the poor. If that's how you like it, good for you, but it's not the way I like to see it.

Plus we now have the biggest federal deficit in history, the federal budget is 30% out of balance. There are just two big items in the budget: defense and social security + medicare. At least one is in line for a big cut. Which is our take-the-fight-to-them President going to cut?
