Why is it that Democrats oppose a balanced budget amendment? Why do they support and fight until the last breath for tax increases on just a few americans (which raise about 70 billion a year)? 70 billion a year? haha!!! the deficit is more than 20 times that size! they cant be serious.... but alas, they are. sadly.

Excellent question and one that has an obvious answer. Democrats do not want to cut spending, they just want independent voters to believe that they are in favor of balancing the budget during the few months leading up to the election. An honest balanced budget amendment would expose them for the liars that they are to people whose votes they need.

You are also correct about the tax increases on those evil rich being inconsequential in balancing the budget. Democrats urging tax increases is mostly about convincing poor people in this country that the wealthy are responsible for their misery. It helps keep those voters from wondering why they are unemployed or underemployed despite their blind allegiance to liberal Democratic politicians.
