I don't get it...how can liberals actually support all these tax increases? Does this give them some sort of pleasure when they pay taxes? Can someone shed some light on this for me?
Thanks!

It doesn't matter whether or not they like it, it's the fact that the country cannot operate in a deficit indefinately. Eventually, one of two things have to happen, either we have to cut spending or raise taxes, and neither is good politically.

I really don't think anyone 'enjoys' paying taxes, even if they vote for increases.
Quite simply, there HAS to be a way to fund government expenditures. Even though we run a deficit, we can't have zero coming in and all going out.
Both sides have thrown in increases or 'revenue raisers'. Some get more press than others.
But in the end, it really isn't fair to judge an entire group. I know I don't like it when it is done to me (a Christian Republican) and even though I might disagree with someone's ideas, at least I'm not physically or mentally forced to agree with them.

How come morons keep asking irrelevant questions in this forum? Go play in traffic, OK?
The so-called tax cuts are the biggest lie of the current administration. They didn't touch the AMT and more and more middle class taxpayers are getting eaten alive by it now since it was never indexed. A tax cut that doesn't apply to anyone is just another political lie -- so typical of all politicians.

That proves no longer something except you teach us the honestly quantity of tax gross revenues accumulated. you have 2 variables that are shifting, gross revenues and GDP. In different words, human beings would have paid lots extra in taxes in the Nineteen Fifties and the type would look low on your scale if GDP became additionally severe on the time. without putting apart tax gross revenues from GDP fluctuations your argument is rubbish. that's certainly ignoring the reality that I even have by no ability heard a liberals contend that the wealthy paid extra taxes in the Nineteen Fifties. Your link would not teach the quantity of taxes accumulated from the wealthy, purely accumulated taxes as a entire. as quickly as lower back, your argument won't be in a position to be logically supported from this documents.

A society can only be judged by how well it treats it's lowest members. So IF my taxes are helping, fine.
If we have a society of super rich and then a bunch of poor people who can not afford health care for their children, how are those chidlren supposed to succeed?
