So, who is the liar? How stupid do you have to be to keep listening to them?
The Republicans don't want the military to be cut any further. The Democrats don't want social programs to be cut. Neither is going to get their own way no matter who is in the White House. This is the road to nowhere.

Everyone should pay taxes. Period.
Bush's big mistake in my opinion was to eliminate tax requirements on the lower earners. Now, we have those that depend on the gov more and more and the socialists are starting to thrive. Socialism thrives on a population that is dependent on the gov. That's why we are seeing so many liberal/socialist votes. Dependency, just like being dependent on drugs.
The military budget is tiny compared to the entitlement slice of the pie. The Constitution has a mandate for National Defense, but not for entitlements. The only entitlements that we are owed are Social Security and Medicare, that everyone paid for. Anything else can be cut freely.
A flat tax across the board is not a bad thing, but I would rather see a federal sales tax take the place of income tax.
