The Herd is All For Taxing the Rich But Keep Hands Off Medicare

The herd in America may want the debt and deficit controlled but it appears that no one is willing to take the pain of solving the problem. We have to be the most selfish group of people in human history. Many of our citizens, as well as politicians, choose only to see what is today and not plan for future generations and their tomorrows.We will bankrupt the country because we want what IS MINE, NOW! And we want someone else to pay for it. It's pathetic.

Agora Financial via 5 Min Forecast reports:

An overwhelming majority of the general U.S. populace polled by The Washington Post insists the government “keep its hands off Medicare.”

A smaller majority want to keep military spending intact. The only thing that gets majority support is raising taxes on incomes over $250,000 a year.

Awesome.

We’re all for it. But only if we enact legislation that completely dissuades people from innovating and starting new businesses while we’re at it. Let’s nationalize a few more industries too. We’ve already locked up mortgages and the auto industry… let’s shoot for oil and gas next.

If the U.S. is going to go the way of Venezuela, we might as well get it over and done with.
