It is obvious that we can eliminate the debt simply by taxing the wealthy at 1/2 the rate they paid in 1960. I do not consider that soaking the rich. Damn I wish I was in a higher tax bracket. PLEASE soak me!!!

If the republicans really cared about America as much as they do about their ultrarich sugar daddys we could eliminate the debt easily. Three steps put the tax rate back where they were when we had the Clinton era surplusses, cut corporate welfare, and cut the military down to a level where we only spend five times as much as China and Russia combined.
