John, As I have said before, and you have chosen not to read, the SENSE OF THE SENATE ON SHARED SACRIFICE bill was put forth in the fight to end the Bush tax breaks. By presenting the "other side" which is to say, the Republican argument, you are providing a de facto defense of those tax breaks. In fact by presenting the idiotic Republican defense of the rich which separates federal income tax from all other federal tax and pretends that federal income tax is the only one that counts is not only defending the tax breaks, but it is using the Republican template to do so.

I do actually question your patriotism. I question anyone who supports and repeats voodoo economic principles. Reagan had an excuse. He was an ignorant actor apparently trying something his advisers had suggested, but now after having two Presidents trying that crap and seeing the economic and other damage caused to the country no modern person has any more excuse.

At least the 1 % have their own self interest as an excuse. What excuse do you have for trying to destroy the country?
