Young people don’t care if we pay more in taxes as long as those things the taxes are used for are worth it. It all comes back to the issues. It no longer has anything to do with the image the politicians and parties are trying to portray. It looks like the American people have woken up and are now beginning to pay attention to what actually is going on rather than the sound bytes many politicians would rather have the public listening to. The Bush years are an absolute and complete failure for the Republican Party. It ruins the myth that ‘tax cuts are a catalyst for employment.’ This would be believable and possibly true if we still manufactured anything in this country, but we don’t. Now we are in a situation where we have mortgaged the ability to manufacture in our own country to China because of our enormous debt to the China (Thanks Bush and Iraq War) and their need for us to buy goods manufactured there. At least today, Democrats realize the reality that it is neccesary to tax in order to pay for the spending.
