This IS class warfare, folks. And guess what- the Ruling Class of plutocrats and their hired political hand maidens are kicking our poor and middle-class butts! They won't be happy till they are all in their palaces, and the rest of us are grubbing for potatos in the shadow of the castle walls.

If by "sounds like a Democrat" you mean he is not very good at arithmetic, you are correct.
The tired BS about Warren Buffett and his secretary is a case in point. A single person earning $50,000 with no extra deductions, not participating in the 401(k) or taking any other steps to reduce taxes, has a federal income tax bill of $5099. The tax rate, 10%, is NOT MORE than Buffett's rate.
And Buffett's tax rate is understated since it only considers one layer of taxes on corporate income, when there are two layers at work.
Too bad "President Obama picks a political fight on taxes" instead of backing his own bipartisan Simpson Bowles Commission with its centrist approach, or the centrist Gang of Six outline that he spurned in the debt ceiling fiasco. No, instead of leading where the country it would be willing to go, he has to slide back into hyperpartisan class warfare.
Taxing those that make allot of money will not make a noticeable dent in anything. Taxing a rock would have the same effect. Obama is going to lose, and lose huge in the next election, not even debatable.

Huh?? Obama wants to restore the tax rates to the wildly success Clinton era plan like they were suppose to. Simple put just look at the Clinton era where we had a booming economy with the biggest surplus in US history. Then we go to Bush and the republicans tax cuts to the rich that did nothing but tank the economy taking the biggest US surplus to the biggest deficit.
It takes a real idiot to pull that one off and just like all republican fiscal plans they lead to nothing but deficits, massive spending and a horrible economy.

Can you explain your arithmetic?
Your statement is almost exactly what the GOP said in 1996, when Clinton proposed raising taxes. The result was four years of solid surpluses until Bush got in and cut them back.
In other words, there isn't any empirical evidence to support your position but there is blind ideology, though.
