A simple question: Are we spending too much or are we taxing too little?

p.s., I am a free market capitalist, therefore, I do not believe income/profit ought be taxed at all. I believe in private property, therefore, I do not believe private real property ought be taxed on an annual basis.

Oh, BS!

Yes, it is way higher than it should. That is a function of spending on social programs that are nothing more than Democrats buying votes.

Taxing too little.

Income/profit is the least regressive kind of tax we can have, if the structure is progressive.

That is the propaganda trope. How much money have we spent on Iraq/Afghanistan in the last decade?

Way, way too much in both money and especially blood/lives.

In my opinion, after the failed attack on Torra Borra, thanks to the stupidity of Bush, we, the US military should have completely departed that "country".

As for our attempt to bring ULB to justice, we spent thousands of lives and an estimated trillion dollars with the unending middle east wars. If I had been in charge I would have placed a $25 billion bounty on UBL, dead or alive. That would have worked and we could have used those hundreds of billions and thousands of lives in more productive areas than war.

Just because I am a US Marine, don't think you know how I would prosecute war, or even get involved in war in the first place.

We're taxing the filthy rich too little. We have a bloated military budget to fight Israel's wars and steal natural resources from others. Why don't Republicans ever mention this OP?

Why tax the rich more ?
Everyone should be taxed the same percentage?
Is that not fair?
The flat tax is best !

Why should someone that has 1 trillion have to pay a bigger percentage then someone making 200k?
Why is that fair?
