Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, speaking this morning on CNBC:
“That’s the kind of balance you need,” said Geithner. “Why is that the case? Because if you don’t try to generate more revenues through tax reform, if you don’t ask, you know, the most fortunate Americans to bear a slightly larger burden of the privilege of being an American, then you have to — the only way to achieve fiscal sustainability is through unacceptably deep cuts in benefits for middle class seniors, or unacceptably deep cuts in national security.”
How about just cutting the abuse by the government on the people?
And, for the record, natural citizens of this country are not “privilege” to be Americans. They are Americans by right.

I love that answer because it is the right one for that insolent GEIT-NERD,
THE RICH DO THEIR SHARE, they even do a lot of redistribution of their money directly to the poor and the middle class, that’s what is infuriating the OBAMA’S DEMOCRATS, BECAUSE they want to be the only one giving the moneys which belong to the people by way of tax to anyone they alone choose to give for getting their votes,
did GEITNER PAID HIS TAXES? THE ONE HE OWED FOR X YEARS, how about the other elected in GOVERNEMENT
WHO OWED FOR AS LONG OF TIME PAID YET?
DID THE DEBT CEILING HAVE BEEN LOWERED YET?
This comes from a person who did not pay his taxes. “All animals are equal, however some are more equal than others”
Notice how no mention was made about cuts in spending to political cronies who support the administration, waste, cronic welfare recepients, or illegal immigrants. The only cuts they talk about are those to the benefits of people who worked and paid into the system and thus earned them and national security. This Marxist oriented administration needs to go. As an American, it would be a privilege to not have them around any longer.
As a Proud American, I’d be willing to pay more on taxes IF all those who demonstrate UnAmerican behavior GTF out of our country and Shut Up!
Geithner, Obama, Obama’s czars, the Mooch…
