Yeah, but only one party is even nominally willing to make the rich pay more toward the giant deficit burden that I am constantly told from both sides is going to require "all of us" to make a shitload of sacrifices.
The other party is apparently willing to let taxes go up on people making $50k/year rather than take a compromise that would force people making $1million/yr pay more, or make Fauntleroy pay taxes on everything past the first $1 million daddy left him. All the Republican talk about protecting the working and middle class is bullshit, because we've just seen that the GOP would throw them under the bus in a heartbeat in the service of protecting the wealth at the top.
This is class warfare. Obama is saying that he wants to cut losses, which I can understand, but it's usually the side that's most ruthless who wins.
