Have you learned nothing from Alan Greenspan? He was always against raising taxes. ITS NOT GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY. He also said we need to bring spending into line. The healthcare in this country is way better than the Democrats keep saying. Who is crying for it? Its also been proven that throwing more money at education doesnt make it better. Now we have a dept of education with a huge budget, has it made one difference. NO WAY.

As long as the teachers unions can keep bad teachers then we will never be able to improve education in this country.

You really want 50% income and 30% sales taxes like Canada? No thanks.

Look, I seriously don't understand why people are so opposed to higher taxes. Granted there is always beauracracy and corruption, but I wouldn't have no problem paying more taxes if the money went to where it belongs, like better education, health care, etc. Complaining about higher taxes while our education system is shot to shambles, millions of people w/o healthcare, and a growing gap between the haves and the have nots is again sounding very elitist, IMO.
