Marcus, how about LOWERING spending? Its only when you SPEND more than you take in that you have a deficit. America has a SPENDING PROBLEM, not an income problem.
Why not start with a high dollar item - the military. Then we put ALL politicians on minimum wage and terminate their sweetheart pensions. Then end foreign aide. Then roll back spending to 2005 levels. That would be a good start.
Abe--we were talking about taxes and developing a tax system. Why do you keep trying to steer the conversation towards spending??
How about I get this out of the way--I think it's safe to say Leo, Marcus, Bob, and I all agree that we need to cut military spending. No battles to fight there.
Now, can we get back to the topic--why unearned income needs to be taxed more, developing a tax policy that leads to a healthy economy, etc.?

The government can. A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you've got.
Is a liberal smarter than a boiling frog?
