What if we had a “national referendum” asking this question: “Do you want higher taxes?”
We suggest a great majority of our people would answer with an emphatic “NO!”
Well, how do we hope to avoid higher taxes when Congress has just voted to raise the “debt limit” to $14.3 trillion and President Barack Obama is insisting upon a $3.8 trillion budget that is about $1.6 trillion in the red?
Obviously, we need less federal government spending. If we had balanced budgets, we could have lower taxes. And lower taxes would invite greater prosperity.
Don’t we need “simpler” government?
