    Direct charity doesn't require the government and makes a huge impact on the lives of people it's there for. Maybe try that.

    I mean, I'm sure you won't, but it's worth being said.

    Spending needs to be cut. Including military. Cuts to nearly every agency, if not eliminating some altogether are needed.

    I'd start with 15% off the military budget for openers, and then trim significant chunks (25%+) off all entitlement programs and completely do away with useless shit like the National Endowment for the Arts. Oh yeah, and huge cuts to the Department of Education (lolwut?) and the EPA (FTG). There are probably tons of meaningless agencies that could be shuttered completely.
    Cut 100% to the UN and 75% of foreign aid. Cut 100% of foreign aid to where they chant "death to America".
    The real money is in the entitlement programs but there is no political will to go after them
    Absolutely correct. And mall cop would squeal like a stuck pig if you cut any of his entitlements.

    Raising taxes is inevitable. We could start now and reduce the pain.
    We? You mean “we” should raise taxes on other people. Not you.
    What makes you say stupid shit? I'm a one percenter. My taxes would be going up under any proposal I could make.
    Nothing stopping you from writing a bigger check to the Government right now O'Keefed. You don't need a change in the tax law for you to do what you want to have done. Put your money were your mouth is and write the fucking check.
    Yes, yes. Mikey already beat you to it. The old, "Why don't you just volunteer to pay more?" dodge.
    The old, I'm a fucking hypocrite who wants to force other people to do what I'm unwilling to do right now dodge.
    Many hands make light work. I'll pay more, but I want rich dudes like you to pay more too, blob.
    So you’re a hypocrite. Good to know.
    I've never advocated a voluntary tax system. Add hypocrite to the list of terms you don't understand.
    Of course not. You would never pay if not forced. Yet you talk about the wonderful things that need to be funded. Hypocrite.
    blob has correctly noted that we won’t see any cut to entitlement spending. Wonderful? Doesn’t matter.

    We'll see cuts when the programs implode.

    Some cuts, sure. Anyway, cutting expense and raising revenues aren’t alternative courses of action.

    Paying more won't help as long as we? keep spending more which we? will

    Raise taxes and people dodge them like H

    We will spend more. You can help by killing yourself. That's patriotism.
    I'm still working and paying ALL of my taxes. Unlike some here
    I pay all my taxes, Madam. I’m willing to raise them so your entitlements aren’t cut.

    Writing a check to the Red Cross to avoid taxes isn't direct charity.

    Does buying my elderly neighbor a bicycle to replace the one that was stolen count? But truth be told, I do take the tax deduction when I give to a 501(c)(3). You don't?

    But you shit all over the people who do advocate for cutting spending while you vote for and support the people who want to increase spending. You course of action only moves in one direction.
