And, if we werent' taxed out of our eyeballs already and tax programs to be heaped on an already overtaxed population, we could get back to being generous. But who the heck has any money leftover anymore, or how many people who are struggling to find a job have enough money to pay for even the barest of life's essentials.

This country is in the toilet and the big flush is soon to come.

Sure, sounds great. Big military- how about 20X bigger than the next guy? We're already at 8X. Hell, why not go to 100X? Bigger military than we already have is absurd.

So sending $25 billion to Israel is being generous? Or should we expect people to send that money out of pocket? That's $100 per person. We can do it!

Let me ask you this: how has the effective tax rate changed over the last 30 years? How much do you expect your taxes to increase for 2011?
