No one in America can leave their home, eat a meal, make a phone call or even turn on their lights without paying some sort of regressive tax that is disproportionately effects the poor and working class more than the wealthy.
If you are born poor in the United States you probably will be getting sub standard education and less opportunity's and that is a undeniable fact.
We steadfastly refuse to to invest in anything that might help the poor to become viable and enter the workforce and possibly middle class, it is if we would rather see the nation fail rather than risk letting our neighbor's kid have it easier than we did.
You know what creates jobs in this country and others is a working class capable of making purchases. no one can deny the last ten years the wealthy have moved so beyond the middle class in income that adjustments need to be made.
Job creation, Revenue, and Healthy Economy can bring this country back.
I am middle class and am willing to pay more taxes if it means we can all recover but I don't hear this from the Tea party.
It's hard to get people to see personal sacrifice as a way for everyone to get better.
I came from the John Kennedy generation " ask not what your country can do for you, ask what YOU can do for your country"
I know what everyone can do send a message to Washington we ALL will pay more taxes let's get rolling.
What have you got to say now TEA PARTY!!!!

We'll all be in Terry, like it or not. It looks more and more like we will be back to Clinton rates in 2013. I do not see this president and Congress coming to any agreement on taxes before the expiration of the Bush tax cuts.
I've lost hope in the November deal as well. We'll just see across-the-board spending cuts, which is the last thing this economy needs right now. The GOP will cynically welcome this, as it will surely reduce GDP prior to the election.
Fortunately, the good guys will have over a billion dollars to tell their side of the story.

I think I'll keep my $$$$, they will just blow the dough as usual!
What about the 47% who pay no Federal Income tax?
You can thank Bush for the 47%. He took a bunch of taxpayers off the roles in 2001 and 2003. That number should be south of 40% in 2013.
I thought Obama was going to correct that, what happened? 2 years and a filibuster proof Senate, Have the seas been lowered? Nothing but excuses!
Clinton was fortunate to have been President when we went through the greatest Technology boom in history. Companies like DELL, Microsoft and Oracle to name only a few, dumped huge amounts of taxes into the Federal coffers. Clinton had nothing to do with it. He was a free rider. We also had a Peace Dividend. Get real - the Clinton Administration got a pass. Even Paul Krugman feels the same way. Your love for Clinton is only eclipsed by Monica.

When one inherits an economic collapse, that is no time to raise taxes. They had their hands full just righting the ship, which they did. Its a shame the stimulus package wasn't $2.5T rather than $800B. We be further ahead today.
As Will Rogers might have observed 80 years ago, 60 Democrats in the Senate isn't Filibuster proof...
Uhem. Monica eclipses my love?
Your revenue comments are sour grapes. It was a great tax structure and economic policy that filled federal coffers in the Clinton era. Productivity growth was no better in the the'90's than is was the decade before or after.
Your man, Bush, came in and completely screwed things up. Worse, his party still advocates his failed tax policies.
Excuses, once again. Let's really party, how about 50 Trillion, or maybe 100 Trillion! Oh gosh 200 Trillion. What is the number?
The economy contracted by $2.5T leaving a hole that size that needed to be filled. Basic Keynesian economics...
