Obama does agree but he can't alienate his base by asking them to pay more taxes when the rich and corporations are making record profit and earnings.....it just won't go over well.....he will probably tax the poor in his second term, but to do so now before having a plan in place to tax the rich would be political suicide......
I do support legislation to tax the rich more because its the beginning of solving the problem and we have to start somewhere....not to mention, whether you like it or not, the American people want the rich taxed more as well....70% in some polls......
