There is a very important diary with some excellent comment that is about to drop off the bottom of the diary list. The diary drops a five gallon bucket of ice water on the Republican talking point that taxing business means stifling innovation and hiring. Please re-arm your quiver of progressive talking points by reading and recommending bluedogsd's excellent diary.
I have nothing further to add except that you really should make time in your morning to read the diary and comments. They're that good. Go on ... do it.
Oh, and that Obama thing in my title? I confess. Just wanted to get more eyeballs on bluedogsd's work. Sorry if you take offense.
