Although I'm generally one that enjoy's a chuckle any time Babs opens her mouth - I must say that the Time article isn't such a bad idea. As a member of the middle class, I don't really have a problem socking it to the mega wealthy. Most of them are probably liberals anyway and it will shut up the libs in Washington.
Bottom line, I don't care how they cut the taxes - I just want them to cut them - NOW. Cut it on dividends, reduce taxable income by the amount of Social Security & Medicare, bigger deductions - I don't care. Just make is happen now.
Maybe it would help to define what wealthy is. The Libs love ripping the wealthy. The only problem is that according to the IRS all of you wealthy sops in the top 25% of AGI make a grand total of $54K per year. My vote is if your income is over $1 Million/year. Of course if I ever make it there, maybe it should be moved to $2 Million (a guy can dream!)

So, ya don't mind "sticking it to the wealthy", huh?
When the wealthy pull their companys out of an overtaxed America than I suppose you won't mind losing those jobs?
Overtaxing the rich is no more fair then overtaxing the poor. If taxes were fair across the board then people on either side of the wealth scale wouldn't have so much room to complain.
Most conservatives want what's fair. And it isn't fair to make the wealthy foot the lions share of the bill, no more then it would be to make the poor pay more then their share.
