RE:"Don't he and Hillary just want to raise those taxes back to where they were in the '90s?" They both want to tax dividends and the "income rate". Hill wants 20% on cap gains and Obama wants up to 28% on cap gains. Hillary thinks that taxes at the rate when Bill was in office will bring back the prosperity of the 90's. I don't even think you believe that. Different time, different circumstance now. An increase in taxes going into a recession? That's what Hill and Obama want. Yet they still want the rich to get a $500k tax break on selling their home. Plus bail out a bunch of speculators. See what kind of BS all this is?

RE:"Do you know what those tests actually do to the schools?" Sure, it makes them spend a lot of time teaching reading, writing and arithmatic. And teaching to the test. They have less time to teach sculpture and middle eastern basket weaving.
