“It’s not about revenue. It’s about “fairness,” according to Ubama.”

Actually, it not about either revenues or “fairness” - it’s about misdirection.

The deficit problem is a spending problem, not a revenue problem - you could *double* everyone’s income taxes, and we’d still be running a deficit.

But as long as everyone’s arguing about whether or not you increase taxes on the “rich”, whether the increase affects those making $200,000 or a million, whether its a 5% surtax or a 3.6% increase in the top rate, folks won’t be talking about what they should be talking about - how do we keep this idiot from spending $3.6 trillion of our money each year?

You evidently didn't read what I said.

I said "It's the spending stupid."

I also provided a link to the fact that you could tax ALL income at 100% and still not have enough to cover the deficit.
