In reply to the discussion: Chained CPI off the table. [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)89. I will believe when Congress votes to raise taxes on the wealthy.
Here in California, we had a referendum with two choices, either raise taxes on everyone more or raise taxes on everyone less and on the rich a lot more.
The majority voted to raise the taxes on the rich a lot more.
That is the mood of the country. We are tired of seeing ordinary people lose their homes while the rich cavort in the Caymans.
This is not so much just about personal interest. Most of us have neither lost our homes nor cavorted in the Caymans. This is about fairness and justice for all.
When we demand justice for all, we are no different from the brilliant men, our forefathers, who founded this nation.
