The next tea party is gonna be scary. Tax increases for "the middle class" have now appeared on the table. OUCH.
CEO compensation and the bonuses paid to Wall Street types are obscene. But they existed before the government bailout and TARP.

Obama will raise taxes on the middle class at his own peril.

Sorry though....not part of the Tea Party crowd.
