And by that same philosophy, if the guy earning $10,000/year pays
$1.50/pound for hamburger, then the guy earning $30,000/year should pay
$4.50/pound (or more) for hamburger.

By that logic, door locks are bad because they maintain superiority
over burglars without lock-picking tools.

So...then, your idea is...
Expand the number of ICBM's in the American arsenal, AND
build large numbers of decoys, and blast China to hell if

You fucking MORON.
1. The president doesn't write the budget...CONGRESS DOES.
What part of "All spending bills must start in the House of
Representatives"
do you not understand?
Tax revenues went UP UP UP after Reagan pushed for tax cuts.
The problem is, the House, under the Democrats led by Tipsy O'Neil
insisted on raising spending EVEN FASTER than revenues were increasing.
Do you understand any of this, retard?
