It's not fear mongering at all. I see it as educating the public. The republicans will make a quick a furious push to pass legislation that will benefit the wealthy of this country. Without information provided by this article the middle class of this country won't be prepared to push back and it will be too late.

FIRST OF ALL when we speak and think of taxes what we are discussing is the INCOME TAX probably the most obvious and therefore hated tax. Simply stated, look on your cell phone bill roughly about 1/3 of you bill is TAXES.
When, you fill your car, they have chosen not to show it but 1/3 of what you pay is tax. I recall reading somewhere that less than 20% of the taxes our government collects is from the hated income tax.
re: Should the HYPNOTIZED LIBERALS shouting back what the party wants you to think ever INVESTIGATE what they are being fed they would find that if we did not raise the tax on the top 1% to whatever level would satisfy you BUT simply take everything they have IT WOULD NOT PAY THE TEN TRILLION THAT OBAMA, WHO YOU CERTAINLY VOTED FOR, has added to the national debt. Mexico welcomes our RICH FOLKS and they will send back as many of their POOR as you wish.
The feisty mayor of NYC, ED KOCH said publicly when there was a movement of people demanding that the city take over con ed, then and now one of the most expensive electric suppliers in the US. Koch directly said if you think things are bad now they will be far worse if it is government running it-
THERE IS NO MORE EXPENSIVE WAY TO DO ANYTHING THAN TO HAVE GOVERNMENT DO IT.
RE: How did that work under BUSH.
If, you are talking about the housing bubble, YOU WILL BE SHOCKED TO FIND THAT THE BILL THAT CREATED THE HOUSING BUBBLE WAS PAST UNDER BILL CLINTON.
