Christmas

To all my computer friends  though we sometimes argue politics this is a time of year when I know we can all agree on wishing each other a Merry Christmas.

Hypocrisy

Listening to the debt crisis debates I can't help but think that a vast majority of people are acting hypocritically. All this talk about raising taxes on the rich unless your rich is hypocritical. If you support increasing revenue through higher tax rates tax rates should go up across the board. In fact I would go further and say the first step should be to make everyone pay something in federal taxes. Even if the lowest earners only pay 5 dollars a week that way everyone has some skin in the game. If people want programs of any kind form the government they should have to realize that there is a cost involved.

I don't really think we will ever have that kind of a tax system. Which is really a shame because if we really want an honest debate about taxes we should all feel it when they go up or down. Other wise our leaders in Washington are just trying to buy votes and manipulate people.
