Taxes aren't what's 'killing everything for the past 30 years' people and corporations not paying their share is what's doing that. Reagan and his Republicans have been making a mess of our economy since the 80's and just keep feeding the same lines out about 'taxes bad, free market good'. Well how long do we have to keep the 'trickle down' theory going before we say enough is enough and get back to sound government and economics. Roads don't pave themselves, our infrastructure and basic needs services don't pay for themselves either. We have to pay taxes to make it work and EVERYBODY needs to see it as their civic and national duty. We are all in it together, if the machine breaks down, we break down, and I can tell you brother that I can hear the machine squeaking a terrible tune.
