And sorry, but your idea of 'fair' might have made sense if the last eight years of Bush hadn't already reduced the burden on the ultra wealthy (still no word from you as to whether you actually put yourself in that top quintile) at the expense of the middle classes. The largest transfer of wealth from the middle and lower classes to the top 10% since the 20's has occurred under Bush's watch. If that's your idea of 'fair', you are sadly on a different plane of existence to the rest of us.

Obama isn't trying to bring about the Worker's Paradise in this country. Far from it! He's a Democrat, not a Socialist (not sure you get the difference, though).

He;s just trying to get the tax burden rolled back to where it was under Reagan (you know, that damn Trotskyite you all hate!)

If that burden was 'fair' under Reagan, it's fair now.

Talk about the United States of Amnesia!
