And Congress, in a bipartisan gentlemen's agreement, comply.
Go look at the budget proposal.
Cut the inheritance tax for the Richie Rich heirs of wealthy capitalist families who haven't done pre-emptive tax planning.
Cut the budget for poor children's medical insurance and the supplemental food programs that supply hungry folk with groceries (dollars spent locally, eh? on produce from American farmers, eh?), and heating oil for low income Americans, and most things you expect would be worth supporting in a moral nation...
An already bloated, and yes, earmarked, budget that borrows from your children to pay for today's spending.
A tax redistribution, from the pockets of the middle class, who pay tax, to the military contractors and the top percent of the population, most of whom FRANKLY, aren't worth it, didn't earn it, and were just lucky.
"Hear this, you that trample on the needy, and bring to ruin the poor of the land, saying, "When will the new moon be over so that we may sell grain; and the sabbath, so that we may offer wheat for sale? We will make the ephah small and the shekel great, and practice deceit with false balances, buying the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals, and selling the sweepings of the wheat." The Lord has sworn by the pride of Jacob: Surely I will never forget any of their deeds. ... I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; I will bring sackcloth on all loins, and baldness on every head; I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and the end of it like a bitter day."- Amos 8:4-10
