    Your boy Obama had a super majority for his first 4 1/2 months. Why didn't he raise the taxes back to pre-GW? You lefties are too easy. No charge for the lesson.

    He is a democrat; winding down republican wars and paying down some debt, has some priority for the left.

    Who now cries about taxes but didn't do anything about them when he could have. Typical of the species.

    ....nothing to do with your gutless POS POTUS having double standards and being hypocritical on this issue. I see your babbling diversion has begun again. I accept your surrender.

    it has everything to do with the right having nothing to offer, but repeal as any form of equal work for equal pay.

    It never ceases to amaze me how people who are NOT rich continually exposes myopic and convoluted clap trap to defend the very people who, if you're not serving them in some capacity, wouldn't wipe their feet on you.

    Let's cut all the BS by wanna-be economists and the like....it's quite simple: In a community of people who SHARE COMMON RESOURCES/SERVICES within the context of competition for limited resources and opportunities, you cannot sustain a concentration of wealth for a very small percentage without eventually creating and perpetuating a level of indentured servitude/economic apartheid.

    There are far too many examples of towns and cities in the USA who demonstrate this. Eventually, the folk who cannot enjoy any of the luxuries they help create and maintain without being in a constant state of fear of impending financial doom will rebel...or they get fed up with living in poor conditions that designate shoddy materials & food just because they are poor. So rather than go through this, just eliminate by law the various ways in which the concentrated wealthy manipulate the system to maintain their (mostly unnecessary) dominance. I'm not talking about "soak the rich", I'm talking about truly giving the poor, working and middle class a shot at the "American dream". As the famous line from the movie, "Wall St." goes, "How many yachts can you ski behind?"

    like i said; you should at least try to resort to the fewest fallacies, even if only for practice if not for fun.

    Oh, there's representation.....it's just that the sheer level of corruption and manipulation of the laws by the rich and connected virtually render voting ineffective on many levels.

    Isn't that why socialism was developed, to address the social issue of inequality?
