Well, frankly, I don't see how you can reduce the national debt without some form of tax increases.
Unless you cut spending so much you have a budget surplus, and can apply to the debt. Even then, people would complain that taxes would be too high. |

Raising taxes high enough to buy our way out of this would cause a reduction of growth in this nation, a reluctance to invest, and less people working which would have a negative affect on the income to the federal government. If spending isn't cut dramatically then we will never get out of this now matter how high we raise taxes. |

Time and again, taxes are cut and net revenues INcrease. Historical FACT. Leftists - and those indoctrinated by them - don't seem to grasp this elemental truth of complex economic systems. It's what the Laffer Curve is all about. We have something like 3/4 of our ational budget that's considered 'fixed', MUST pay, and 3/4 of THAT is entitlement / social welfare giveaways. Our annual federal budget is nearly $4T. Just cut it 20% across the board. Before the obama marxists deliberately tripled our national debt, that cut alon would have had us caught up in under a decade. And now Obama is shoveling our future money into the furnaces as fast as possible - to NO lasting return - deficit-spending in <24mos more than was deficit-spent in the preceding 234yrs. FOR NOTHING and with the sole goal of destroying this nation's capitalist foundation. All ANY of our current fiscal problems took was a cessation of assitional spending, and even a modest 10% cut. And for the lsat 40yrs, progressives have made sure we kept right on spending, pissing our grandchildrens' money away. |

Conservatives are far to worried about what others think of them and it is our downfall.
If you lumped us all together, most of us wouldn't want to offend, outrage, alienate, or pester anyone and it is our downfall. Liberals and Progressives have no shame putting their beliefs out for all to see and then denouncing anyone who dares to confront them. It pains this country boy who was raised to say yes sir, no sir, yes mam, no mam, please and thank you, but we have got to get rude and we have got to get loud. Most conservatives are fed up and sit at home watching fox with elevated blood pressure and do nothing because they don't want to tell others what to do. It's just not in our nature. We need to get past that. We need to get out of our comfort zone. Wake up. Go vote and start reading the rules that the leftists are using to infiltrate and rot our system from the inside. Use their own tactics against them. Principals need to stay in tact, but methodology should be fluid and undefendable. |

I went to the first tax day TEA party in my area and they opened and closed it in prayer. My face looked like this: . It's not just Christians who are fed up with taxes. Why alienate the rest? I never understood the religious undertones of the movement, which seems counterproductive. Since that day, I've always been suspicious. I can't stop thinking that a large bulk of the TEA party's motives are ulterior. I don't see any other reason that they would chase away potential support.America is a Christian nation, founded on Christian principles by God fearing men? Many of the founders were Deist. Edit: Let the record reflect that I am a Christian and not an enemy of Christianity. Let the record reflect that you spout EXACTLY the progressive fiction that 'many of the Founders were Deist.' That's a deliberate revisionist distortion, taught to undermine the actual degree of faith expressed by the Founders and at all of their meetings and sessions. You want to see just how hard that LIE is being sold, go google Founders +Deism. Then spot those handful of links that actually bother to list them all out and identify their faiths. Of the 48 who signed the Articles of Confederation, ONE was a Deist. Of the 56 who signed the Declaration, THREE were Deists. Of the 55 at teh Constitutional Convention, FOUR were Deists. And EVERY session of those meetings was opened with prayer, closed with prayer. You were taught a massive lie about the religious nature of the Founders, and you are propagating it. You sound like a Jones Supporter...

Quoted: Frankly, you can think whatever is convenient about Glen Beck, Sarah Palin, Christine O'Donnell or anybody else, but if you can find any fault with the core message of the Tea Party, you're simply not a real American. The same goes for anybody who voted for Obama. The Tea Party core values, BTW:
