obama supporter here for many reasons. With that said, this buffet rule is NOT one of those reasons. Dumb idea as highlighted in this post. Stop reaching for low hanging fruit and really go after fixing the tax code. Raise the top two rates back to the clinton era. Broaden the 15% bracket to include more of the middle class that are now in the 25% bracket. And cut capital gains. That provides more spending power to the consumer and more insentive to investment.
That's the good ole liberals in government working for you-its called putting your tax dollars to work!
yep, just like that internet you are using now and that cell phone in your pocket.
Um, 1-16... do you think the phone and isp's are run by the government? I mean, yeah, they are private industry bowing to a heavy amount of gov. regs, but not wholly funded by tax dollars! Or do you use both and not receive a monthly bill?
