Republican Governor Mitch Daniels of Indiana said his party’s presidential candidates must get specific on how they would reduce the federal budget deficit, suggesting that has to include tax increases.


“It is time for candidates to, I believe, propose specific remedies or steps to address this very, I think, survival-level issue,” Daniels said in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt,” airing this weekend. “It threatens the essence of the American promise, upward mobility.”


He said “it’s a great opportunity for our party to speak more openly and inclusively.”

Daniels said any deficit-reduction package would include “modernizing the entitlements” and “greater revenues.”

If the tea-rorists lose their House majority things will get interesting.

Most Americans polled favor taxing the rich.

86 percent of moderates, and 74 percent of independents, support deficit reduction through a combination of tax increases and spending cuts. It also found that 65 percent of moderates, and 57 percent of independents, favor tax hikes on those earning over $250,000.

So wanting the people who reaped the windfall of the Bush tax cuts to share in funding America is evidence of ignorance perpetuated by public education? Explain?
 
the main reason most people approve of taxing the rich a higher rate is jealousy and envy. anyone with economic intelligence knows damn well that the more government interference in economic and business issues, the more the general economy suffers.

Cite the evidence to support your contention, since you said "anyone with economic intelligence" knows.

Over 10 years of tax cuts haven't worked, have they?

10 years of tax cuts didn't work because it didn't come with any meaningful removal of government interference. all it did was provide a bullshit Public Relations media piece to retarded GOP voters.

It would take more than that. Republicans have made it clear that they don't care about responsible government and would bring this nation down around it's ears rather than erode the interests of the 1%.

It would take more than winning the house. Dems would have to win 60 seats in the Senate as well. Assuming they win the Whitehouse.
