As a progressive liberal democrat, I recognize that sometimes fiscal responsibility trumps that warm and fuzzy feeling that I get when I give somebody else's money to some poor bastard who can't get a job because it interferes with his day at the track. And also as a progressive liberal democrat, I do understand that this whole tax the rich thing is a smoke screen and an effort to create a class divide. The rich are already taxed significantly more at a significantly higher rate than everybody. And as a progressive liberal democrat, I realize that additional taxes on the rich won't address the real issue, which is not government income, but irresponsible spending by that very government. Lack of taxes didn't get us into this situation, more taxes won't get us out. As a republican, i am certain you understand this innately. It took me, as a progressive liberal democrat, a long time to figure out sometimes you just have to say "no" when it comes to spending on social programs that just don't work anyway.
