A question

Perhaps someone can enlighten me but I have a very simple argument that leads to a question.

1. We had a balanced budget in the United States under President Bill Clinton because of increased taxes.
2. We currently have a huge debt in the United States and we want to have a balanced budget.
3. Therefore, we need to increase taxes.

Why are we not going to increase taxes on the wealthy?

At some point Republicans will have to answer the question of what is more important to them trying to protect so-called job creators or trying to balance the budget.  They cannot have it the same way.
