That is evident with their refusal to concentrate on the real crises in America right now namely a jobs crises and an income crises. Instead they are drumming up the "debt crises" as the main problem we face and are telling all of us that we are the ones who caused it. Worse yet, even when it comes to the debt these politicians have it all wrong.</p> rss@dailykos.com (RDemocrat) Austerity BarackObama Chained CPI ChainedCPI Debt debtcrises Deficits Democrats jobscrises Paul Ryan PaulRyan President Obama progressivetaxcode Republicans TaxReform trickle-downeconomics _1203120 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 05:35:32 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/9/21/1018910/-Equity-and-Sensibility <p>The rich and wealthy corporations have perverted the progressive tax code. &nbsp;Now what America’s got is a flip-flop under which the fabulously wealthy pay taxes at rates lower than the middle class. This week, President Obama proposed returning the tax code to a time closer to equity and sensibility. He asked that millionaires and corporations pay taxes at the same rate as the middle class. Not more, as they once did. But at an equal rate. It’s not revolutionary. It’s retro. And it would help create jobs.</p> rss@dailykos.com (Leo W Gerard) Barack Obama BarackObama BuffettRule IncomeTaxRate Labor MarkCuban Middle Class MiddleClass PatrioticMillionaires PatrioticMillionairesforFiscalStrength President Obama ProgressiveTax progressivetaxcode Taxes _1018910 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 17:17:53 +0000
