Fifty billion is $500 per taxpayer that we won't have to give Washington, most of it from the middle class. 


Do you favor higher taxes as a way of balancing the budget?


I'd like to see spending decrease instead.  We've seen the federal budget increase from 1.7 trillion in '00 to 2.9 trillion proposed for '08 with the war and any natural disasters "off budget", ie, adding to the already out of control spending. 


1.7 trillion to 2.9 trillion is an increase of over 70%.  Has your income gone up that much in the last eight years?
