Chad, a conservative caller on hour one of the April 24 Ed Schultz radio show, was the perfect example of a true conservative who has woken up to the insanity of the GOP's CORPservative agenda. He was a millionaire who was doing just fine at the pre-Bush tax rate of 39%.
By trimming that top tax tier to 25%, the Ryan Budget wants to give $140,000 per million earned to every millionaire each year. Preserving offshore tax havens and doling out this kind of BLUE BLOOD WELFARE makes no fiscal sense, and Chad was man enough, smart enough, and fair enough to recognize it. Chad, please help take back the Republican Party from the pious with a corporate bias.
Liberals should applaud people like Chad for standing strong on logic when those around them choose tunnel vision leading to their own wallets. Chad acknowledged that the infrastructure that made making millions possible comes from taxes, and asking secretaries to pay a greater percentage towards that cost is three steps beyond selfish.
We need to see men like Chad run for office in Republican primaries, to restore a voice of logic and compassion to the dialog.
