Just Another Leftist Meme

I have to link to this article just because it’s so stupid. How hard is it to understand? The deficit and the debt are not due to a lack of revenue. They’re due to an excess of spending. Sheesh. Just stop spending so much already, OK? “And he never explained to the American people in plain language the reason for Republicans’ intransigence — that they would rather the United States default on its debt than oblige the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share of the tax burden.” Oh, and the lack of revenue is not due to low tax rates. The lack of revenue is due to oppressive government policies that are stifling economic growth.
