that are being too hard nosed to compromise on raising taxes on the weatlhy are the problem here.

I mean lets get real, how can anyone defend the rich anymore, unless you are a millionaire why do you care? These are tiny increases in taxes that they can surely afford, I used to think it was a problem in both houses too when I was indoctrinated in all that rightwing talk radio and fox news garbage but one day I simply asked myself why the hell am I, a lower middleclass family man, defending tax breaks for the rich? Why? It makes no sense and I used to claim all that malarky about how the rich will pass on the costs to consumers or how the rich will force people out of jobs, none of it is true. Let the scum bag millionaires defend themselves where are they out front complaining about their taxes? They aren't. The top richest counties in the USA voted overwhelmingly for Obama instead of a supposedly "Pro business" candidate. Why?

So really these teahead extremeists on the right have no business blocking legislation that would help this country move forward.... Lets help the middleclass and poor for a change...

Hope I got through.
