Ask any poor person if raising taxes on the rich have helped them in any way.
Answer: NO
But it makes them “feel” better that someone is looking out for them. Complete and utter lemmings.
That's no joke! Way back in '08 O was asked why he wanted to raise taxes even when we know that it means less revenue, and his answer (live in the debate w/o the telepromter) was that "it's a question of fairness".
