Raise the taxes

Most members of the GOP/Tea Party argue that we should lower the deficit without raising taxes. They claim, moreover, that more taxes would cripple our economy. In this article, Ben Stein argues that raising taxes to deal with the deficit is the only "adult thing to do." And citing higher tax rates under both Eisenhower and Reagan, he claims, "It is a complete myth that our economy will collapse if we raise taxes" Do you agree with these points?
