Morning Jerk advocating increasing taxes on the middle class
The reich wing talking point du jour - moving the goal posts - holding the middle class hostage - squeezing blood out of a turnip.

Evidently there is a NYT editorial saying you can't reduce the deficit enough with just increasing taxes on the rich - so the middle class will have to pay more, naturally. /sarcasm off.

3. National wealth is $60 TRILLION. The budget is only 6% of that.

This is not a crisis. The budget could easily be paid for by taxing the rich. The only problem we have is that the rich don't want to pay taxes anymore, and they have control of Congress. And, sadly, the President.
