<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 8469767, member: 24754&quot;]Our government is funded by taxes and we currently have a 30 Trillion dollar deficit. That means that we do not pay enough taxes to cover the cost of government programs. Which in turn means that we either need to pay more taxes (cover the costs) or we need to cut government programs (the quality of our society/lives decreases). If this isn&#039;t blatant truth, then I must be missing something.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not going to pay more than I&#039;m required to pay, but that doesn&#039;t change the reality that we should be required to pay more.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you think that my opinions on this subject are advocations for Communism then we have some kind of misunderstanding. I&#039;m all for a capitalistic economy, but we don&#039;t want our government to operate like a for-profit business.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Collectables represent luxuries and the prices should be dictated by supply and demand. But again, this isn&#039;t analogous to how our government should ideally operate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
