You can fix stupid. Such as getting rid of tax loopholes for the richest corporations on the planet. The focus always seems to be on deadbeat cheaters who make up a much smaller percentage of these social programs than those against the programs would like us to believe. It's always the crackhead in the ghetto causing all our problems, right?... No, it's corporations like Bank of America, who get bailed out (after crooked investments) with a piece of a $700 billion bill to save the world economy in 2008. Then, in 2010, Bank of America sets up 200 subsidiaries in The Cayman Islands to avoid paying billions in federal income tax... Also, investment income taxed at 15% has to go. A man who works full time, perhaps doing back breaking labor, is taxed at twice the rate as the man who calls his broker and trades stock, maybe making in a week what the laborer makes in a year. (or even much more)... Taxing the rich won't solve all of our problems however. The cost of social programs has to be dealt with and the democrats have entitlement reforms in their budget. But we can't have one of our major political parties refusing to do anything that doesn't fit their all-or-nothing ideology. With all of the talk of "compromise" today, can anyone tell me ANYTHING the republicans/tea partiers have offered as a compromise?
