1. End the damned wars.

Stop building a police state.

Tax the rich.

2. Obama should just go after exemptions.

He could raise a boatload of revenue and not have to raise rates.

That would be a perfect argument for fairness, ie most people aren't using these deductions = unfair.

4. by 'Exemptions" I'm sure you mean corporate tax subsidies.

5. Anything that isn't widely used for corporations and individuals.

Cleaning up the tax code makes doing taxes easier too.

3. Ending the wars to end their cost is like burning down your house to pay the mortgage...

only we don't have insurance that will cover the cost of the mortgage on the wars.

The wars are being fought ON CREDIT, NOT on current tax-dollars.

When the wars end, paying off the financing for them will be just beginning.
