Ahh yes, the debt ceiling talk.

Should we raise the debt ceiling? Increase taxes for the rich? Or should we cut federal spending?

I say none of them is the one true answer, but a mixture of all 3.

Besides, if there's any group getting away with not paying taxes, it's not the rich, but them bigass corporations. Federal taxes are progressive as it is, so to say that the rich aren't contributing would be inaccurate. (Not being too political am I?)
