It isn't that people who make a lot of money don't deserve to keep what they make but by being so fortunate they must give up a slight bit of what they have so that the whole country can function better. That or we can raise taxes across the board to cover the lack that is made for cutting the taxes from the rich. Then just so that people can survive salaries would have to be raised across the board just so we don't increase the poverty % greatly. In then end we hurt buisness, the poor and lower middle class while we give the rich an extra 2-3%. Or we could cut away tons of things from our budget. Lets get rid of Medicad, Social Security and the Defense Budget. Or we could legalize drugs and tax the out of it. There are other things we can do to get the money. To bad everyone in the government is in the pocket of buisness so nothing gets done.

I am not saying it can't be done but just not very easily. If you look at the projections for spending in the future it doesn't look good. The government in short needs massive reform on both sides. We need to get out of other countries buisness until we can get ourselves under control.

Also you comment about the American flag being just as racist as the Confederate flag due to the more than 70 years of slavery under the flag...yeah. The American flag STOOD for it at some point(notice the past tense) while the confederate flag STANDS for it(notice the present tense). Since the confederate was taken out while it still stood for slavery it shall always stand for it.
