Over the past four decades, since Volcker and Reagan, and getting worse when we get to the Bushes, the tax burden has been shifted onto the backs of the middle class, the lower middle class, and the working poor. The wealthy, the top 2%, have been getting a free ride. It is time to ratchet that back in the other direction for a change.

As bad as it is, and it is bad, I hardly see taxes going down.
 
IF anything, if either party is elected, taxes probably will go up.
 
Republicans will send most of our tax money to Iraq and to fund other wars.

Democrats will add so many new social problems taxes will surely rise.
