It takes a lot o chutzpa for the
right to call President Obama’s jobs plan with increasing taxes on the
millionaires and billionaires, class
warfare. There truly has been class warfare for the last 30 plus years with
trickle down economics. The middle and lower classes are supposed to be elated
by getting the bread crumbs from the rich while they grow richer and richer.
This folk are really out of touch. Following is a chart from Mother Jones showing that that the vast majority wants these tax increases on the rich. Also remember the tax increase affects only .3%
of the country.
Also remember this is not a progressive increase, which I think it should be, it just brings them into line with other tax payers.
Learn the language of political Newspeak: if a new policy negatively impacts ordinary people, it's called "prudent policy". If it impacts the wealthiest 2% it's called "class warfare". ;-)
