Let's try another version of that game.....what will happen if you close loopholes and raise taxes (or at least cut subsidies) on an industry, say big oil? Which group of stockholders won't be making obscene profits?

And if we're being honest, I haven't heard anyone call for tax increases as the only step in fixing the problem.

Really you don't think that I cannot find a myriad of Liberal proposals that call for tax increases while not calling for an actual decrease in overall spending to a level below this year's spending. Honestly are you listening at all? BTW eliminating tax loopholes credits etc is a tax increase.
