Yes, I know. I have my reasons. My goal is to shrink government, not fund it.

And what about the next one - and the one after that?
Short term pain, long term gain.

I suppose I don't see it. I see a proposal that would choke housing and job recovery both short and long term.

I don't have near the expertise to say yes or no.
I support raising the gas tax, but that has to be slowly phased in over a longer period of time. I worry about the mortgage deduction thing, especially because it encourages urban flight and sprawl under what you proposed. I'd like to decrease military spending, and expand the tax base. |

Cut the taxes for the rich, close the loop holes, add a 5% federal internet sales tax add a sales tax of 5% federal sales tax until the debt gets cleared up.

that being said, I agree. That is why I also advocate going over the fiscal cliff |

Add me to the "nays". Your defense cuts are way too deep. Your tax increases on investment income are way too big and your top marginal tax rate is way too high. It's not clear to me whether you've included much in the way of preventing health care cost increases (beyond tort reform), but that's essential for medicare reform.

FWIW, I voted no because there were too many cuts to discretionary spending, not enough cuts to Medicare, and because it raised taxes too much on capital gains and dividends. Capital should be taxed less not more.
