re: #200 Obdicut

Among the many people clamoring for attention, you were the most insistent, and posted as if I should be responding only to you. helen thomas was the person who came to mind as the senior reporter granted first question at presidential press conferences. I am sorry, the comparison was less than thoughtful.

Your right also, the president does not only say that an increase on taxes will balance the budget. he also said there needs to be a “spending reduction in the tax code” That’s doublespeak for a raise in taxes on the middle class, because, and this is the point I was making in my original post, even if he taxed all the income of people making over $250K that wouldn’t balance the budget, Where Else But The Middle Class Is the Money Going to Come From?
