In an ideal world, we need to let the Dims remain in power, barely, till the people decide that it is time for drastic measures.

I hope by
raise taxes you mean increase tax revenues not increase tax rates.
Increased tax revenues comes from increasing the number of tax payers. The best way to increase the number of tax payers is to make the place as attractive as possible for tax payers. Increasing tax rates does nothing to attract tax payers. There are many examples where it drives away tax payers. Increasing the number of people removed from the tax rolls does nothing to attract tax payers. It certainly attracts non-tax payers, if that's your goal. More tax revenue is the only way to fund the noble causes favored by the liberals posting here.
Thank you for giving me a chance to ride one of my favorite hobby horses.
BTW, Stewart Varney, on his morning FOXBUSINESS show, read part of this on his show a few days ago when I submitted it via email.
