from an outsider's view YOU SHOULD BLAME AMERICA FIRST! It is
YOUR fucking debt! You elect these fools to piss your money away, you even have re-call legislation for cripes sake! Use it!!
As for taxation, the USA is hardly taxed for the amount of money the country spends. The USa would do well to raise rates further and actually make dents in the burden of the debt that will eventually come due. The only safe guards so far is the the net worth of the USA. Once that starts to crumble things are not going to be pretty.
