In a(nother) social media debate

This person is not a friend of mine, but a friend of a friend who posted this. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Let's dispense with the "R S T L N E" litany of snark responses: unfriend them, don't do social media, your mother wears combat boots and the like. kthanks:

The democrats have not even submitted budget to vote on until this week and the budget submitted this week was to add 8.2 billion to the taxpayer deficit. Drink some more koolaid. The US needs to be fiscally responsible and cut and adding more taxes to the tax weary middle class which is what has been proposed by the democrats is not the way to do it. Perhaps you should get off mainstream media and do some research instead of spouted party minutia and calling those who are fiscally conservative, names. We need to make drastic, difficult cuts. If you happen to read what is being pushed by the WH you will find that it could add up to 5% in three different areas to the middle class putting them at the 32% range. Can you afford 32% of your income in taxes in addition to the loss of the payroll tax and the increase in your own state tax, plus the 9% increase in healthcare premiums?

(end)

Thank you in advance.
