Why do people hate tax cuts for the rich

Because they want to free ride off public services/transfers provided by taxes funded by rich people.

Ah, common sense at last.

Why do people hate tax cuts for the rich

Because we are already running a budget deficit over a trillion dollars.

But if you cut spending and taxes, then the budget will be balanced, providing you cut more in spending.

We are running a $1.4 trillion dollar deficit. That means we collect $1.4 trillion less in taxes than we spend. You want to cut taxes (revenue). So, where do you get the >$1.4 trillion to balance your budget? Hint: You wont get there without hacking Social Security, Defense, and Medicare/aid - which no politician is willing to do (heard anything about the Ryan budget lately?)

Stegosaurus, don't bother trying to reason with him. He's a bigger troll than Politico and plays dumb to deny common sense.

Come on Mondy, I'm not a troll, I'm just very, very right-wing.

I'd like to point out that this threads title is highly misleading. He doesn't intend to raise taxes on everyone other than the rich, just slash entitlements.

This thread seems to be rapidly running out of steam.

Yeah, sadly my plan is also my wet dream.
