Look, you aren't going to get someone like UG to even consider higher taxes short of guaranteeing it will increase penis length by 4 " and giving him a full and lustrous head of hair.

While you think I'm a right wing nutjob (and I play one on tv) I'm a bit more reasonable. I accept that the IRS, lobbiests, pols, and media will never allow a flat tax to ever go into effect. I believe for this country to survive as the powerhouse it was after WWII things must change. By things I don't just mean tax rates. Short term tax increases combined with drastic cost cutting is necessary. Obamacare, education, defense, and all of the rest of the sacred cows must be cut. Let the bloodletting begin. Cut all funding to the UN. Cut foreign aid. Close overseas bases. Gut the lobby-centric R&D process.
