Letting the Bush Tax Cuts expire is not Near Enough!

9. I haven't attacked anyone

Disagreement does not constitute attack.

And to answer your last statement first, I agree that Republicans don't do what they say they will do. Personally, I hold Democrats to a higher standard. I voted for President Obama because I believe that he is telling the truth about where this country needs to go and how to get us there. If I had wanted to vote for a liar, I could have voted for Romney, as the policies he claimed to promote are better for me personally than President Obama's.

I'm not a fan of "say whatever you have to, truth or lies, just to get elected". YMMV.

So, I care what Obama says, and so do the other 65+ million people that voted for him. If he believes that a 91% top marginal tax rate is what we should go to, then that's what he should have run on. He would have most likely lost, but at least it would have been an honest loss.

You keep saying that "WE the PEOPLE" need to push him to this...where is you data that shows that "WE the PEOPLE" favor returning to Eisenhower-era top bracket rates?

I'm all for lifting the cap on the SS portion of payroll taxes, on taxing capital gains as regular income and for restoring the estate tax. But I don't believe that anyone should have to give up 91% of what they earn. As I said, YMMV.
