"Spending is the root of all debt, period. Just remember that the war is sucking up billions, creating this debt. Obama wants to trade the military debt for local spending, so don't expect the Democrats to do anything but continue the debt, reduce your freedoms, and they WILL take your guns away."

Trust me, you won't find me voting for Obama even if he was the only candidate running.

To a point I think you are right about the reduction of the tax rate causing a greater return in total for the government, but it only works to an extent. As a hypothetical, suppose the US lowered the tax rate to 1%, do you really think the total amount collected would be more or less than at the current rates? By the way, this is the lawyer side in me. LOL There is always a gray area somewhere.
