The question, regarding number 6, is what does Middle America want to cut? I tend not to be the kind of person to say "the average voter is stupid" (skewed priorities in a lot of cases, but not stupid), but i do blame Middle America because they seem to want to have their cake and eat it too as regards deficits versus entitlements. |
Waste...
I think the middle class generally looks at people on welfare who "game the system", $600,000 ash trays for submarines, 50,000 toileat seats and believe there is enough systematic waste that can clear the government budget sheet well.
Combined with the elimination of various rich people and company deductions. I don't think they so much favor tax increases, but are for all kinds of crazy often times made up tax deductions that various people think the rich have.
Like how somehow if you donate money to charity you pay less in combined charity+taxes then you would of in just taxes, because they don't know how the graduating levels tax system works because they often have botique tax accountants/just don't understand how charity deductions work because they haven't donated that much.
