It is actually easier for the Left to do what you worry about under the existing tax system then it would be under 9-9-9
As for controlling all three branches, we have about a 70% chance to control the Senate and the House after 2012 and a better then 50% chance to control the White House. NOW is the time for bold political leadership, not timidity. If we do not size the political moment now, we probably will not as good an opportunity again in our lifetime.
I think we will control all three branches next year. And when we do its time to get things done. Until then I don't see how it happens.
Thanks to the Dear Leader we don't even have a budget.
