I like the idea of higher taxes on those making more...It's the local solution to a national problem...kinda like property tax. We start out taxing those who make 1 million or more...when that does not work we reduce to raising taxes for those making 500K...pretty soon we are taxing more for those who make 50K. I propose we raise taxes for everyone who owns a house or a business. After all, they can afford that so apparently they have money to give to someone else who does not want to work. Perhaps we shoudl start with those who own blue houses...

You said it best...it's all effed up. How about starting the Civil Conservation Corps back up and putting people back to work. Let them fix these crappy roads and sidewalks...
