Which problem are you referring to when you question whether high taxes will solve it?

Unless there are drastic changes, the US economy is effectively done. Huge spending cuts and tax increases might start righting things, but the political climate won't allow for it.

As an aside, my income is in the upper middle class for up here, but hardly independently wealthy. My company has created 10 jobs from scratch in the past year and I am hoping to double that by the end of the year. When I started, I was barely in the middle class, so while not poor, I sure was not rich.

Do I win a prize? Preferably not in US Dollars. Chinese Yuan seem a safe bet...

you do know the economy was done (not effectively) and that is why we had to invest so much?
