A 4% increase in marginal tax rates for the 1% is a distraction that both sides are guilty of using.*The most critical issues are the ones that neither the D’s or R’s are addressing-a military budget we can’t afford, non-reciprocal trade agreements with China, no Wall Streeters in jail, the revolving door between elected representatives and the businesses they regulate (or their lobbying firms), campaign financing, lower tax rates on capital gains than on earned income…..
“everyone’s dependent on the government for income, health care, housing, and everything else . . .That’s Obama’s goal.”If you believe that, then you should put your money where your mouth is. Stand up for what you believe. Reject all Social Security. Refuse all Medicare. Pay all your retirement and medical bills out-of-pocket.

They don’t show that Obama’s line is the one that the GOP drew 4 years ago, and then retreated from.

Here’s what’s really funny. Based on the metaphor in the sand, Obama is communicating with the GOP, while the GOP is only talking to themselves.

I don’t know. Tom. You make it look like Obama is 50% at fault here when we all know the GOP will not compromise on anything. Too PC today.
