Yes you are right. There are plenty of fat cat Republicans to go around. And how about those guys with the 50 million dollar golden parachutes they get after ruining some company? And they guys who got rich from securitizing all of those sub prime mortgages. They should start making some of these blood suckers pay more taxes-not people that are working hard and contributing to society. Perhaps some tax rates should be raised, but it should be done carefully and scientifically for maximum benefit. It should not be punitive and should be designed to raise revenues.

When are you folks going to include pork barrel spending in your discussions. I thought that is where the maximum pain is now and banning that would provide for immediate gains. And off course, stop world policing by pulling out of Iraq. If Iraq moves into chaos after the US pullout, the countries in that region will move to restore stability at their expense not ours. All that talk that Iraq cannot do anything without US help is utter bulllshit advanced by Bush and Cheney. It was pathetic to see Petraeus yesterday fail to articulate a goal for staying on any longer in Iraq.
