Absolutely, PLEASE do raise our taxes to 50% if necessary instead of continuing the cowards way of hiding all of our spending under the guise of inflation! Maybe if this currently corrupt government started actually raising as much tax money as it is currently spending, the American people would raise up and demand that this waste, deceipt, and corruption stop! Tax us so that we can see how painful all this spending really is, and maybe the People will finally raise up and demand that we stop bailing out all of these crooked bankers and stop supporting illicit war choices such as Iraq. Eleven trillion dollars in debt and the government is giving back tax rebates? Give me a break...
