Exactly, the whole thing is just a joke.

but dont you know the people who only pay 50% of the United tates tax burden need to pay their fair share, we need to make it 60% or 70% or more, its only fair. we need a balanced aproach, right

In other words, RAISE taxes on those who have less money and cut for those who have more?

...Or recognize that the biggest earners are already paying their fair share (the top 1% pay 60% of income taxes), and that we have a spending problem, not a revenue problem.
