I agree with the President's proposal, Let's return the tax rate for top earners back to what it was in the 1990's when the economy was booming. It is unjust and cruel to continue to push the burden of paying down the national debt on the poor and middle class through more cuts to benefits while continuing the Bush era tax cuts for the wealthy. Call this 'class warfare' all you want, but the only class warfare is the war the rich have against the poor. The republican party has somehow convinced ordinary Americans to cut out their own flesh to keep the rich well fed.
