[QUOTE="klein, post: 880296, member: 23950"] Lets just say the republicans win the next 2 elections, and are in power until 2020. Do you really believe they will be against any tax increases as they are now ? Social security should almost be gone by then, healthcare costs are constantly increasing, mainy due to an ageing population, and higher obesity rates, where higher healthcare costs are a problem for the rest of the world, too. Of course the US has a major huge debt and deficit to deal with , too. The big question remains : How the heck will all these problems be solved without raising taxes ? Cuts alone just won't do it ! Besides all that who knows when the US will go back to yet, another war, too ? There are always unforseeable costs, even in each of our own households. In my opinion, that no new or higher taxes is just another fat election promise lie, made by the republicans. Because, in the financial situation the US is currently in, it's impossible not to raise government revenue (taxes), and still balance the books ! [/QUOTE]
