12. I think Sen. Warren can help with the Presidents agenda.

She is in the right place for it. I like her, she is smart and savvy. The only thing I don't like, is that some here are using her as a tool to mock the President. They don't get that the two of them stand on common ground on many issues.

Also on the Buffet Rule.

Taxing the rich: Obama and Camp share a common target in wealthy taxpayers. Obama proposes paying for $56 billion in new spending on clean-energy research, education and other programs by higher taxes on the wealthy as well as cutting spending. To help pay for what he’s calling the Opportunity, Growth and Security initiative, Obama would save $28 billion from reducing tax benefits for multi-million-dollar retirement accounts. The Buffett Rule also makes a comeback in Obama’s budget – that’s the proposal for making millionaires pay no less than 30% of their income in taxes. Camp, meanwhile, would slap a 10% surtax on individual income of $400,000 and above, and joint income of $450,000 and over.
