GOP Plan to Raise Taxes for Most Americans
Kevin Drum of Mother Jones posted a chart that breaks down the income tax effects in Rep. Paul Ryan's vaunted tax and spending road map. As you could expect, he proposes a drastic tax cut for the rich, especially those making over $460,700 a year. But, this would reduce revenues a lot. How does Ryan make up for that? By raising taxes for people making less than $100,000 a year. You know, 90% of the population. Nice.

Ok, with that Citizens United ruling on the books, and before congress passes any sensible legislation to render it relatively unimportant, can't George Soros fund like $900 million in ads that basically say: Obama's budget cut taxes for 95% of Americans. Republicans plan raises taxes on 90%. The end.
i think this could be our first sassy video. john--you're the idea guy, see. and then dave can help write the script. bridget (and her hair) can star, and i'll produce.
or we can just get peter to do it.
John, let's steer clear of a Ross Perot-like infomercial. I know how you admired his work but this is no time for homage.
but, we could get this guy (?) to star, and it could be a song-and-dance, number. Who wouldn't love that?

Hmmm, I fear my html got chopped.
It was a picture of that creepy dancing person from the 6 Flags commercials. He/she is Perot-esque, was my point.
God I miss him. We really need Glenn Beck to interview Ross Perot. John Stewart would drop dead of pure happiness.
