      Do these people(idiots) understand anything about economics 101??? At some point, the printing presses will dry up!!! As long as 40-50 percent of the country pay ZERO, they will continue to vote for the FREEBIES!!! Which is why this country will go bankrupt in the next 5-7 years!!! To my understanding, if you raise taxes on the weatlthy by 5%, it only decreases the debt by 1-2 percent!!! At some point of the tax raising, the rich will start cutting back on their spending and that will cost JOBS!!!
