What make us who are considered in poverty or in the middle class are going to get out of paying tax increases?

We who are in poverty who have taken from our fellow citizens more than we have given are aware we must pay back too. We know the middle class is going to have to pay back even more than the so called rich because there are more of us than them and the so called rich are dwindling at a fearsome rate and those remaining will flee from taxation and will take their job producing companies with them when they go. The poverty stricken and middle class would runaway from taxation too, if we had the money to do so but we are all that is going to be left here. So isn't it best if we just get it started now rather than let it go over the predicted cliff and have us crash and burn rather than be let down to an easier landing?

We think that if we crash and hit the bottom hard the government will panic and cause a knee jerk reaction that will result in a quick fix style of thoughless solutions that will result in disasterous results for society with no relief for anyone. We think many will commit suicide but there will be those who will murder for revenge and then for profit using their survival as justification.

    Without strong job creation in our country, the taxation issue will never be solved on any level. The unemployment rate needs to drop dramatically and the economy needs to improve drastically so more people pay taxes so the burden is then equally shared. Unfortunately, under the present administration and congress not reacting to the dire consequences facing this nation, we are stuck in a terrible quagmire in which there's no way out. We do need a change at the top to the bottom of government and solid cooperation between the executive and legislative branches of government or this could go on for years.
