... Republican who wouldn’t raise taxes on millionaires. Nice work fellas!

Mr. Torch, you are part of the problem. Arguments like yours are straight out Marxist class envy. What happened to equal protection under the law? Who picked one-million? Based on what analysis? One million on the AGI line in one year does not necessarily define wealth. As the top 5% pay about 50% of all income taxes collected, how fair is it to make them pay more? One of the early posters had it right, at least with the current legislation the federal government moves in the direction of matching income to spending. Reducing government spending leads to a recession -- that ought to tell you something right there.

Nice selective edit as you left out the part where I said “As a result we go into recession that he can blame on the recalcitrant Republican who wouldn’t raise taxes on millionaires.” I was referring to Obama and the politics of it. Nice try though...

We just tried the “big idea” campaign. How did that work out? People love spending, it’s not enough to just say cut spending.

Taxes are going up and the sooner we adapt to the facts on the ground the better.
