“That’s the kind of balance you need,” said Geithner. “Why is that the case? Because if you don’t try to generate more revenues through tax reform, if you don’t ask, you know, the most fortunate Americans to bear a slightly larger burden of the privilege of being an American, then you have to — the only way to achieve fiscal sustainability is through unacceptably deep cuts in benefits for middle class seniors, or unacceptably deep cuts in national security.”
What about the parasites among us? Shouldn't they too contribute something for the privilege of being an American? What, exacty, is it that entitles them to be on the receiving end of a free ride? I just don't understand why it is that the socalled rich must pay, not only for their privilege, but for privilege of the leeches in this country as well, of being an American . Why is it that "EVERYONE" can't contribute something, in an effort to be fair to all? That is, if this really is all about fairness.
