No I will not support raising taxes. Not even if President Bush said so. Rep.

I have little problem with raising taxes in general. I just have a problem with tax money being spent on programs that I don't support or believe in. I realize that lots of federal, state, county... departments and offices couldn't be run without tax money, and I accept that. Really though, it's about doing the most with what you already have before you ask for more (this can go for individuals or municipalities). I could use a tax cut as much as the next guy. But the homeless man who's sitting outside my office building in the snow will appreciate a warm meal much more than I will.

Taxes are already too high.
The government taxes everything so many times, by the time you actually buy anything 23% is tax.
Contrary to popular opinion, more taxes on the rich means less tax revenue. Less taxes mean more tax revenue. Don't believe me, check the tax revenue before and after Bush's tax cuts.
REP

Somebody has to pay for the war etc. Borrowning isn't the right thing to do so what alternative do we have? The real difference is in who really pays the most tax. Perchentage wise that is.
Yes, if it is used for the right purposes and is not laid on the poor and middle class but comes from the filthy rich.

Conservative.
Taxes are already too high. The federal budget is ~$3 Trillion, the GDP is ~$12 Trillion. This means the federal government controlls 25% of every dollar and asset of the nation. And with all that power and wealth, they still fail at everything (education, health care, retirement, border security, etc.). Nobody with a brain can possibly think giving them more is the answer.
We need to take our country back from the government.

All events are to blame. How do you be attentive to a flesh presser is mendacity, his lips are moving. Politicians of all stripes have been mendacity to the favourite public on condition that John Adams. ok, assume Dems choose to advance taxes right here and there, this is undesirable. Reps purely choose to advance taxes for the detrimental and cut back taxes for the wealthy. Is that extra effective? Independents say one situation or the different. no person in politics tells the certainty and that they do no longer rat one yet another out on it the two. they could condemn own features, yet whilst it comprises political finagling they by no potential contest one yet another. Why? because of the fact they are thinking up different worry-free worry-free techniques to thieve your no longer worry-free earned funds. Why do politicians get their salaries (that are extensive) loose out of your tax funds? Their scientific bennies? Even whilst they retire, each and everything continues to be paid via your taxes, why? because of the fact they have been secretly changing the form to in advantageous condition themselves. in comparison to Georgieboy who merely disregards the form each time he sounds like it. in my opinion.

Since the Democratic party plans to raise the taxes of only those that make over $500,000 a year and if Bush wanted to do the same, lets do it.

At least rescind the stupid tax cuts. 200 dollars per person did nothing to help anyone economically. No nation cuts taxes when they are fighting a war. The population of the US has always been willing to bite the bullet when the nation is at war so why are we expecting less now?.

Dem.
Yes, but I wouldn't like it as much since Bush is the reason why we need to raise taxes, you know $2 billion a week in Iraq. We need to get out of national debt.
