nope, its more like cinderblocks and jellyfish.
Revenue positive is the simplistic answer. That MUST be a combination of cutting and increases in revenue. HOW? Military MUST be on the table and BIG for one. Eliminating/reducing waste and fraud.
Restructuring our representatives benefit packages. yes, its mostly symbolic, but "everyone must contribute."
Determining what laws/loopholes primarily address the uber-wealthy and eliminate them.
Income of x,000,000??? - No reductions/deductions...
Modify the alternate minimum tax.
Increase the capital gains tax.
Adjust the corporate tax structure/rules/laws/...
Generating more from just the top will NOT be enough. Its the poor bastards in that middle income range (see breakdown above or read middle class) That are going to foot most of this. Unfortunately, that's where the pain can be spread out the most and thats range with the most filers.
The problem with addressing the top is that would cause people to do what is good for others and NOT themselves. (Spexx's definition of evil from their perspective )
