Great post Katelew

Especially like this paragraph:

On multiple occasions I have said ALL the Bush tax cuts need to be allowed to sunset exactly the way Republicans set them up to do. Regardless of the economy. Just rip the bandaid off and get it over. Why are the Democrats not doing this? It makes me mad. After all, the Republicans set it up this way. Doesn't this give Dems cover? I also support other measures designed to redistribute the wealth in this country. Raising the ceiling on payroll taxes, for example. I don't have a problem with taxing those components of an estate that represent unrealized capital gains. Land for example. I want some or all of the corporate profits sitting in offshore accounts repatriated and taxed....at least a little, for goodness sakes. The concentration of wealth in this country is real and it's unhealthy. Has Obama shown any signs yet of doing something about this?

NO NO NO NO and I think he is backing down on the tax break to the wealthy... or so I heard last night on radio.
