Simple math. Real simple.
PLEASE take a look at this graph (I promise it will take but 45 seconds):

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2010/08/the_bush_tax_plan_vs_the_obama.html

A lot of us talk as if we are real political know-hows. But come on. Give me this graph, and I'll not only let you keep the House and Senate, I'll just keep building our majority.

Why are we scared of these nitwits? Replace the Donkey and make this graph the Democratic icon for this election cycle.

1. myliverhurtstoo
would you explain this to me? Is the graph saying the only people who need worry are the filthy rich? That's how I read it..

3. They don't need to worry.
What I think it's trying to show is the abject disparity in what that last bracket gets versus everyone else. What it's trying to put into context is the Bush tax cuts versus the cut-the-deficit rhetoric coming from the right.
