This has been the Republican strategy for decades. They lower taxes and raise the debt. The Dems win and they have to raise taxes to bring the debt down. The Repubs say put them back in and they will lower taxes.These tax increases and decreases never really change the lives of average Americans, but since a large number of American are incredibly ignorant they put Repubs back in with the help many of the wealthy, and we keep doing this same dance over and over. It is making me dizzy.
