3. One of the fastest ways...
...has already been done, and that was re-instating the federal estate tax. There was none in 2010.

It was, not that anyone remembers, in the lame-duck tax bill together with the unemployment insurance extension.

5. The real simple boost to revenues is letting the Bush giveaway expire

6. I have always voted BLUE
on state and federal level and they're still not doing the job (s) I voted for them to do.
The only real way is to vote for other candidates and hope maybe they will really listen to the people.

14. I think you have done the right thing....now to get everyone else off their duff.
It's a cumulative effort.

It's very clear from the Red hue of the House, that not enough people are voting blue. So again I say you are on the right track, not to motivate others.........

12. For two whole years we had the Trifecta -
and did we "tax the millionaires"?

Sorry, but it isn't just about voting Blue anymore.

It is about voting LIBERAL Blue.

16. I haven't missed an election or primary since 1972.
Straight Dem tickets every time. Maybe if I quit, they'll raise taxes.
