Neither do I, but I hear it often repeated on the news, by Obama, by liberals, etc.

There's a belief on the left that they're entitled to a baseline percentage of your income.  If tax revenue is below the baseline, it is seen as an expense.  They fail to comprehend the idea of lower taxes and smaller government.

What angers me is that they want to raise taxes so they keep on spending, spending, spending...and the American people should pick up for their indescretion with money. It's immoral, stupid and bad economics.

It has nothing to do with reducing the deficit and if you parse obama's words correctly, its obvious that is what he is doing.

It's what they always do, never been an exception.
