Let me preface this by saying that I did not read every post here. I do, however, have a comment of my own. The debate about the deficit/debt is interesting and there are some valid points. That being said, I also have a question:

If everyone (everyone being a general term and not precise) is so concerned that the taxes are not sufficient, then why all the outcry when taxes are raised? I'm not talking about business taxes, but individual taxes. Brings to mind the old adage of, "Let George do it; just leave me alone."

Personally, I have enjoyed the tax cuts and the rise in my retirement funds. And, yes to the poster who pointed out that we, as retirees or participants in 401k's or mutual funds or whatever, ARE indeed those "greedy shareholders".
