Is it me or is the Democratic Party falling apart?

Febo, how does the government get taxes??? Think about it.

The government gets them through sales taxes, but when people can't afford to purchase items they want the government loses that tax revenue. No sales = no sale tax collected. Although sales tax is mostly on the state level, they're going bankrupt too.

The government gets them through income taxes, but if people don't spur a healthy economy by doing and buying the things they want, income levels (both corporate and individual) come down and so does income tax revenue. But how can you spur an economy when all you go is go from pay check to pay check because of low wages and/or high taxes, high government imposed fees, etc.?

If the government is given control over all of our money, they will be picking the winners and the losers, and some of this is already happening. You think you'll rep the benefits of it, or only the elite with ties to politicians and lobbyist?

Look at history, has our government been good stewards of our money? Why give them more to throw away. You want to raise the income level for the government?? Then raise the living standards of the populous, not take more away from them.

Stop making the bottom 40% tax exempt and make everybody who earns something pay something in. Stop all of the socialist programs and make everybody responsible for their own lives.
