WASHINGTON (AP) — A new bipartisan plan to reduce government borrowing would target some of the most cherished tax breaks enjoyed by millions of families — those promoting health insurance, home ownership, charitable giving and retirement savings — in exchange for lowering overall tax rates for everyone.

Many taxpayers would face higher taxes — a total of at least $1.2 trillion over the next decade, and perhaps more.

Republicans need to demand that if these changes are made to the tax code, that in exchange, the Dems need to agree to scaling back entitlement programs that have been sinking this country for decades.

Won't happen. Too many special interests.

What a nightmare Washington is today on both sides of the isle. Makes one nauseous just thinking about it.

Might've known Warner would be in on a scheme resulting in tax increases. He tried to raise taxes the whole time he was Governor of Va.

BOHICA!

1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.
