How can anyone take seriously a president who hired a wealthy man who cheated on his taxes, Tim Geithner, to be his Treasury Secretary, yet now claims taxing the rich is so vital to America’s wellbeing it would be better to let the whole country go over a cliff than to not single out the rich for increased taxes?
In fact, the only way the U.S. Treasury will be able to take in more revenue from wealthy Americans if their taxes are increased is if every wealthy American has greater integrity than Tim Geithner. Otherwise, they will not pay an additional cent.
Let’s go. Hold on.
