If 99%'s eliminate the deficit, would the1%'s agree to eliminate the debt ?

[SerenityNow]

Why wouldn't the Republicans propose an income tax surcharge on the top 1% that must only be used to reduce the debt , but would not start until the year after the budget was balanced, and would be terminated if a new budget deficit occurred in later years?
Wouldn't the 1%'s possibly come out ahead if this resulted in a reduction
in the devaluation of the dollar -- which would affect their entire wealth, not just their income ??

Why would any one group be obligated to elliminate that which they did not create? Yet, an argument could be made that the lowest 50 percent did create it, and pay nothing to eradicate it.

I think the 1%'ers would simply prefer to eliminate the other 99 %...IMHO

This is about the most ignorant thing I've read yet on these boards.
