Along with my fellow student, I too had no idea what the fiscal cliff meant. I also like to think that none of the political mumbo jumbo affects me, except gas prices.
It is said that President Obama has spent more than any other president in history. If the $5.5 trillion wouldn't have been spent maybe we wouldn't be facing this fiscal cliff. I don't believe in raising taxes on the rich. I'll say most of them have worked hard for their money so why should they have to make up for everyone else. The rich and/or famous also donate a lot of money. Donald Trump donates to more than 20 charities. Many celebrities give millions to charities and great causes. How many average Joes could do that even in a life time?
Why should he be excluded from paying higher taxes, or anyone in congress for that matter. Maybe we should stop giving money to other countries and worry about our own problems first.
