As with any political issue, folks like these will try and make this stand alone, but forget that this President appointed a blue ribbon panel and one of their goals was the tax code....he swished it away.

The Ryan budget, while I certainly do not endorse it totally addresses tax reform...Obama makes fun of it.

I read an article in the Wall St Journal detailing some of the back room work being done to try and get the prep work done on revising many aspects of the tax code and being worked on by both parties.

And while touting the Buffet Rule, this administration, despite EVERYONE saying that it is wrong and unecessary are going ahead and SPENDING 8 BILLION dollars on medicaire advantage expirement that even the CBO opposes but they will do it so that nothing drastic happens before the election.

NONE of these economic issues can be discussed on their own in my opinion.....VK is a smart man and he knows that both parties want tax revision and that the House budget begins that process, but we are about to begin the dirtiest political campaign in history....make that we have begun it already......and this is simply partisan politics pure and simple.

The WH has begun the class warfare stuff already with the Presidents remarks to[B][I] "The president warned union members that Republicans would rather give "rich folks" more tax breaks, than invest in the American worker.

"Republicans in Congress would rather put fewer of you to work rebuilding America than ask millionaires and billionaires to live without massive new tax cuts on top of the ones they’ve already gotten," Obama declared in a speech to to construction union members at the Hilton hotel in Washington.

Obama added that Republicans' economic plan depended on tax cuts for the rich and "dismantling your unions."

"I mean, if you ask them, what’s their big economic plan in addition to tax cuts for rich folks, it’s dismantling your unions. After all you’ve done to build and protect the middle class, they make the argument you’re responsible for the problems facing the middle class," Obama added.

The president praised the unionized middle class as the for contributing to an economy based on the middle class."

This thread is part of an attempt to frame the issue and make the Republican party all a bunch of rich guys and the "poor" democrats (who may be even richer) are the only ones covering our butts....also making the unions stronger, bigger and mucho more powerful.

They will frame the President as a hero on this Bin Laden thing...very crass in my opinion as well as most of the world if you read the press and even taken apart and called some really bad names by Huffington who usually loves Obama.

This is what it will be like....this thread ignores the continual spending, the ignoring of attempts to engage in budget talks.....our country has not had a budget in THREE YEARS and nobody cares about that, nor are there any discussions on it. The Buffet rule was nothing but trickery and everyone knows that but again a chance to frame things how they want to. Just think the 8 billion dollars this adminstration is spending despite it being a sham is almost 20% of the entire Buffet rule....it is ludicrious.

DO both parties play the game...yep...for sure and I wait anxiously for the debates.....the cheapness and shallowness of the past few weeks is sort of disappointing to me.
