It is possible to 'earn' your way out of a mess. As many (most, really) are advocating it'll be a balance of taxes and cutbacks, but most importantly we'll need the economy to grow (faster).
Better economy = more taxes = less debt. Go back and look at the Clinton years, it is possible to get to no/little debt.
Now, as far as those rich are concerned, that's beyond my comprehension how so many can vote R knowing that they are continuing to widen the gap between the 'have's' and the 'have not's'. Go talk to them.
All I can say is that the rich control the world, so why would they make themselves pay more? They've done a masterful job of creating more wealth for themselves while also gaining immense control/power of the world.
One big fucking mess, really, but until you either have tons of money or lotsa power, you are just a peon walking in line. Agree or not, like it or not, either way the wheel continues to turn, all you (or me) can do is work to get our little piece of the pie and try to encourage what little things we can.
It ain't simple, it ain't pretty and it ain't fair, but that's the world of economics and power and it, more or less, has always been like this.
