2. I don't see why this is an issue with Congress

If (almost) two out of three Americans want higher taxes on the über-riche and corporations, then raise taxes on them. It's that simple.

Am I missing something here? The wealthy had a chance to re-invest in America: they didn't do it. Richie Rich took his trickle-down swag and Bush tax cuts and invested in India, China, and other countries. Not the USA. And they hid their geld in secret, off-shore tax havens. But they didn't do what they were supposed to do; what they said they would do: Re-invest in America.

Now it's time for them to pony up.
