nynco sounds like the majority of those people that helped get King Oberxes put into power for 4 more years, "The rich are causing this woe!" False. They make up a small percent of the population, they pay over 60% of the taxes, AND are continuously getting hit with tax hikes. What would fix it is to reduce spending, reform entitlements (SS, Medicare, Medicaid, and especially welfare), and if EVERYONE really did pay their "fair share" (no more of this exempt from income tax while making $20K crap) we wouldn't have to raise taxes...
