re: Dear Lord, the entire debate is who will raise taxes the most

Does the government have the right to tax people in order to provide services that help everyone in the country?

Are you really going to argue that our federal government is lacking the resources to do this? Or that it even does this at all with the majority of its budget?

Do you know how many healthy able bodied young people are on government assistance? There is absolutely no reason for a healthy young person to be on welfare. The government shouldn't be a safety net for shitty decision making. I have no problem with it being a temporary safety net for unexpected and extreme cases. Thats a public good.

Explain to me why we should raise federal taxes at all anywhere in this country before looking at waste and bloat.
