As we muddle our way through the budget and deficit crisis the debate between cutting spending and raising taxes will be in the forefront. Arguments will sound good on both sides. After all, the objective is the same-cut deficit spending.
The problem is that raising taxes never accomplishes that, it simply creates more spending. Two great examples are the estate tax initially enacted to help pay for WWI and the AMT established in 1970 because 155 wealthy Americans paid no income tax.
Both these temporary and limited taxes are not only still with us but have greatly expanded in terms of the number of people affected. You need not be wealthy nor have many deductions to be caught by these once “temporary” taxes designed for limited purposes.
Keep this in mind as you hear new calls to ask the “wealthy” to pay “just a little more.”
