Up until the 2012 elections, the Democrats need to bring up as many tax increases on those making over a million a year as they can. It will give everyone going to the ballot box a good indication on the differences between Democrats and Republicans.
If the Democrats want to run on a campaign of punishing success, be my guest. That has NEVER been what America is all about.
Sure, the skilled union guys will move on but the ancillary employment will dry up leaving people who put down roots to be unemployed. We saw the same thing in the Gulf and will probably see it in Wyoming too one day.
What Gulf are you talking about, the Gulf of Mexico? If so they are out of work because Obama killed the jobs after the oil spill.
Obama is caving on raising the top tax rate and on stopping the Keystone Pipeline. He looks like a fool after threatening a veto on including the pipeline in the payroll (SSI) tax reduction. America has the Tea Party to thank for both. The democrats talking point now is that republicans didn't want tax cuts for Americans. That is laughable. Republicans always want tax cuts. They just didn't want to take taxes from one group and give them to another group.
PS. The Tea Party also stopped the ban on incandescent light bulbs. Americans can now see how getting Obama out of office will bring sensibility back to our country.
In other words, only a fool would agree with the tea party.

I didn't realize in America we had the Republican, Democratic and Tea Party political parties.

This is really a diversion from the glaring reality that the Republicans have not had any ideas to benefit all but the most privileged, 11 straight years and running. Congress has been severely broken since the 2010 elections, so for you to hang your hat on the ridiculous decisions that come out of this Republican/tea party-cursed Congress is absolutely inexcusable.
Way to eliminate yourself from serious consideration in future discussions.
Obama's willingness to compromise on this is one reason why Obama is likely getting my vote. Compromise is a virtue not a failure in my book. I am sick and tired of politicians taking sides and not working together for the good of the country. Republicans can have good ideas as well as bad ones. The incandescent ban was just dumb - smart people went to CFLs long ago anyway - and the pipeline has been studied for three years. Nebraska is fighting it over aquifer pollution fears that are not substantiated to date. The administration needs to decide and quit dragging things out. Republicans had to give up a bunch of tea party/social nonsense in the deal. I love pragmatism when I see it and will reward it with my support. Go O!
