The fiscal cliff

[username]

Take 8% across the top of every single dollar spent on every single government entity. Balance that with an 8% increase in tax dollars made. Do not let anyone that does not put a dime into the tax fund have a refund and ta-da..........problem solved. Some people today that do not work all year and they still get a refund piss me off.

Amen. It wouldn't be so fucking complicated if the politicians weren't bought by their special interests. Take the money out of politics and none of this would be an issue. Potentially a good expenditure of government funds would be eliminating corporate and special interest and freaking PAC funding. Everybody has a max budget they can spend for campaigning. Equal the playing field somewhat so voters have more choices and lobbyists don't rule the world.

I'm rambling but my basic point is I believe we need to try to take the money/pandering incentive out of the equation.
