Do others in the know agree or disagree?

I think its bad policy to be raising taxes when government should be cutting spending. In the middle of the GSA scandal they have the nerve to ask the people to pay more. And they won't fire these criminals because of their union contracts!

The only tax system I know of that allows the wealthy to get away with paying less than the middle and upper middle class is our current system. I would certianly prefer a flat tax over what we have today, but a sales tax would seem fair to me.
