you have some dream that the top 1% will be punished and they have their money in tax free bonds, so they won't pay a penny more in taxes

It is not helpful to raise taxes on the segment of the economy that provides the most jobs, which is small businesses that are making more than 250K. Most of the businesses that make less are not hiring more people. The businesses we want are those that are growing and making a lot of money and hire in America. When we take money from these folks we substitute jobs for wasteful govt. spending. Little joe

Mind, if you are suffering, it is because you are not working. You will do better to work than want government handouts. It really is better to earn a living which is very possible in our country...and I am always amazed that people who post all day complain about their income....instead of working. <i.The rest of us are suffering immensely. It's our turn now. The last 8 years, the rich got richer and the middle class and poor got poorer. Time for the pendulum to swing the other way.
