The Democrats certainly like raising taxes: on oil companies, on individuals, on just about anything or anyone that looks like there might be some prosperity to tax.

I certainly hope that it doesn't occur to the Democrats that the mantra of "Gotta raise those taxes!" is not going to resonate with the electorate. And I think that this is particularly true when these taxes are presented as somehow punitive and retribution for economic success.

Yep. The claim that someone or some entity is "making too much" sure gets thin when they set their eyes on your paycheck rather than going the indirect route and claiming they are taxing the "excess" profits of some corporate entity which will just pass the tax on to the consumer anyway.

I am glad to see you 'get it', and wish more people did.
