Krugman: Obama and the One Percent

[hfojvt]

96. well somewhere in there

some guys, I think they were named Obama and Biden, made some sort of DEAL with Congress. You know, to extend all those tax cuts for the rich that were gonna automatically expire.

Your psychological need to make excuses for the guy who should have a sign on his desk that says "the buck stops here" is NOT rational.

And Wisconsin? http://www.itep.org/pdf/wi.pdf

60% of households in Wisconsin make less than $57,000.
80% make less than $86,000.

They may not like to hear it, but a teacher does have a pretty good paying job.

And I never said "screw them".

I said, make them pay a little bit more in taxes. A pair of Wisconsin teachers would pay a whole $300 a year more. Not that much more than the tax increase that I got at $13,000 a year.
