R. L., the mouthpiece for the wealthy, protests too much. Under the Obama Budget proposal, the wealthiest will only pay 39.5% of income, 20% in capital gains, and their ego-inflating charitable deductions will be decreased.

IMO, Obama is taking it too easy on the wealthy, and should seek 65% of income, to return to a progressive tax system, restore the middle class. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "do.rflex" <do.rf...@...> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "raunchydog" <raunchydog@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <jstein@> wrote: > > > > > > I'm curious why anyone thinks a complaint about > > > presidential policy is somehow rebutted by citing > > > approval polls--especially when the complaint > > > alleges that the powers-that-be have succeeded in > > > turning the public into zombies. > > > > 'Bama loves me!
