Totally untrue.
They're making conscious decisions to "cut" taxes on corporations and wealth
to the lowest levels in history since the robber baron eras.

Yes. The economy experiences ebbs and flows.

If you have a lack of tax income. You close loopholes. Collect taxes due.
A tiny bit of research will provide information pointing to where the money 
is
and how to turn it into revenue.

While a mildly useful analogy;
let us not forget that our so-called "family"
does have many hugely, extravagantly wealthy members;
who seem to have no difficulty asking those with little to nothing
to sacrifice more and more and more.

Please explain how this is fair;
when the entire family has created THAT wealth.
