republicans spend just as much even though they pretend otherwise. If you dont believe it just look at Bush;s record. the difference is they DONT tax because they believe somebody else should pay their bills. since when did paying your own way become something bad?

It's been happening for a long time. Reagan was a big spender, and so was Bush, but then so was Clinton and now Obama, they all spend money. Yes, I am aware of the tiny little blip in the deficit that Clinton is so proud of, but they've all spent us in to debt.
Many people don't even know that we didn't always have a federal income tax, we didn't always NEED an income tax.
Edit - There are people alive TODAY who were born into an America that had NO income tax. The modern tax only went into place in 1913 and started out with a top tax rate of 7%. Five years later it was 73%.
