And the war (which a lessening minority of people support), does affect people. How can you say that it doesn't?
Everything I've seen about Dem proposed tax hikes is limited to the top 1%/ famlies with inomes > $200,000. Are those people really typical?
And the meaningless "hot topics" are the standard fodder of all primary campaigns. Dem primaries feature the candidates going back and forth between the left and near left. GOP primaries are the same on the other end of the spectrum.

So if taxes were raised, all the financial issues would be solved? Wouldn't runaway spending be more apt to continue with more money in the govts hands?
And the war does not effect the vast majority of people on a day to day basis. How can you say it does?
Why should our most successful people be penalized for being sucessful? That's not equality, it is class envy. And families that make over $200000 in many urban area are far from wealthy or rich and surely dont need to pay more taxes than anyone else.
And I realize why the topics are "hot" but that doesnt make them any more pertinent to everyday life. Taking more money away is.
