It was an exquisitely aimed artillery barrage.

They have to defend 14% tax rates for those getting $40mil a year, they’ll do it by saying “slash all taxes, abolish corporate taxes (etc)” - then the country really *will* go bankrupt. Fiscally responsible my fat ass.

Honestly, I don’t see how the Republicans even stand a chance at this point. I mean, he addressed DIRECTLY everything that Americans have been complaining about for the last 6 years. Tax restructuring so the rich pay their fair share? Check. Going after the bankers who got us into this mess? Check. Tax penalties for offshoring? Check. New rules for Congresscritters to cut down on inefficiency and shady dealing? Mega-check. I don’t see how the Republicans can oppose any of those items and still have people voting for them. Well, aside from their own rich old white guy cronies.
