US corporate taxes are the highest in the world to make up the difference.  And do you really want to tax people in the middle of a recession?  Yeah, that'll make their lives easier.

Government is struggling to pay bills.

If the government can increase my taxes to pay their bills, can I hit up Uncle Sam for some money to pay mine?

How about hitting up your employer?  After all, since employers are supposed to be able to ALWAYS raise their prices whenever their taxes go up, you shold also be able to demand a raise from them to whenever your costs go up, right?

You go try that.  Let us know how that turned out.  The rest of us will be taking bets on the future of your employment.
