There you go again with that fuzzy math... Get your facts straight... first of all, I won;t even dignify your comment on President Reagan and as for the latter, CONGRESS does the spending and last time I checked, Pelosi and Co. had been on a shopping spree since 2006 (Under then President Bush) and until WE THE TEA BAGGERS, as you like to call us, stepped in, you had free reign to spend spend spend and now you want US to pay higher taxes to bail YOU out? NO EFFING WAY!
OH!
I'm not rich but even I know that the rich are carrying an unfair portion of the tax burden. That is a statistical fact.
NO CHOCOLATE PUDDIN FOR YOU TONIGHT!

over 25 million umemployed getting their 99 weeks of free pay.

If you are saying the base line is 41% of Americans, or 41% of employed people?
Can I see the base lines while you are out scoring cherries
74,500,000 of those people are children under the age of 18
38,690,169
Are senior citizens over the age of 65

take money from someone who doesnt even get anything out of it?
how about making 75 million americans who pay no taxes start paying them instead of stealing from people who get nothing out of it.
how about those who are on those services start paying more to them.
how about getting those 100 million people off the government dime start creating their own wealth instead of destroying others peoples wealth.
the current system is not even close to be self sustaining nickle and diming other people does not solve anything.

I have to agree with you. Until recently, I paid extremely high taxes. Then I became disabled. I had to fight for four years to get money that I put into the system from MY work. Though I am not paying taxes now, I AGREE that we should ALL contribute.
Steve Forbes had it right when he proposed a 10% flat tax years ago. Even on my limited income, I think that that would be fair. Not to mention it would dissolve the IRS among other bureaucracies. I would gladly pay it to help rid us of this anchor around our neck once and for all and also have a balanced budget amendment, if not return to the gold standard. But I'm just a pee-on so what do I know...

This graph shows what happened since Oct. 1, 1981, the day Reagan started his first budget. First Reagan increased the debt by $1.9 Trillion (see for yourself). Then Bush brought that to $3.4 Trillion. Then all that started collected interest for the next 17 years, and with compounding that grew to $8.2 Trillion by Sept. 30, 2010. Clinton, Bush II and Obama are not to blame for that interest, and without it, Clinton would have paid off most of the $1 Trillion WWII debt that Reagan scared us with to get elected. And Bush II (and his supply siders) would have run up only $3.8 Trillion — not $6.1T, which is what actually happened under Bush II. (A clear proof of this with document links.)
Before the supply siders, Dems and Repubs brought the debt down relative to our income in 27 out of 35 years. The supply siders (with Reagan and the Bushes) raised it 20 out of 20 years. That's no accident.

its 41% that file dont pay income tax, so im sure the number is higher based on the people that dont file and the people that get money under the table. The IRS figure is just those who filed.

Reagan was the one who gave the tax breaks to the corporations and the wealthy. And Bush well little Georgie kind of forgot to keep the war on the books.

Not even that
America is still servicing the Reagan era debt... He was the first person to create this debt mode
181% of the combined national debt of all presidents in history was Reagans fiscal legacy
