Howard Dean highly disappointed me with his statement about Senator Warren.

9. Obama won on "closing all tax loopholes"

& increasing taxes on the rich but merely mentioned the same rates during Clinton & everyone remembers how well the US economy was & not just for Wall-Street.

Now Obama has made efforts in the loophole & tax enforcing department, I actually believe we could make some common sense reforms to the double income taxation issue & it would give the Democrats bonus points in the tax rhetoric department. I think it hurts more of those than those who can't afford than those who can but we need better marketing on the tax issue.

I live in a very conservative area and I can't tell you how much "raising taxes" BS I hear, his recent free community college proposals did receive a lot of positive feedback, even from the same people under the impression that the next guy will have a hell of a mess to clean up after Obama.

On edit -- when it comes to taxing the rich, many oppose it because of the reasons laid out by the Republicans. Not because they think they're rich but anti-tax rhetoric appeals to those who don't like seeing money gone when they receive their check.
