"We democrats are going to address this issue after the election when we take control of the Congress. We will return to the 60% to 80% tax rates on the rich, and we will be able to take at least 30% of all current lower Federal Income Tax tax payers off the roles and increase government income substantially/ We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest."
Did she really say the above???

Wheeeeeeeeeeew scared the crap outta me.
Hell yes, and I'll tell you why.
If you've ever worked in a really, really hyper-political office environment, you've seen the effects of "banning failure."
The last day-job I had was just like that. There were tons of regulations (aka "departmental policies") that specifically banned certain types of failure, such as:
Any day a Windows server administrator forgets to back up even one of the several dozen servers under his responsibility, he can be immediately terminated.
Now, you can imagine what kind of environment existed in the Windows group--everybody was supremely busy backstabbing each other to cover their butts and no one would ever take a necessary risk that might cost them their jobs. So, progress in that group slowed to a crawl, turnover increased, and team morale dissipated. Finger-pointing was the favorite hourly pastime.
By contrast, in the UNIX group (of which I was a proud team member), failure of one member led to other team members stepping in to provide immediate back up. There was no blame game--it'd just be good-natured ribbing. We were able to take bigger risks, eventually upgrading our technologies to self-managing hardware and software. We commanded higher salaries and worked roughly 30hrs/wk rather than the Windows guys' 50-60hrs/wk for 25% lower salaries. We had server uptimes ranging in YEARS (no reboots or shutdowns in over 365 days), and our problem tickets decreased from 10 to 20/day to about 1 every two days.
All of the other teams focused on banning failure and punishing those who failed. Our team and the networking group were the only two to focus on rewarding success and looking for better solutions. Sure, bailouts aren't the most-preferred solutions to come up with, but at least the focus is on success and not failure, moving forward instead of covering our butts.
Yet another example showing how easy it is to make shit up and scare the crap out of the majority conservatives. Their world view is so narrow they will believe anything! Anyone who reads, watches something other than Fox news would know, without needing a site like snopes to tell them, that the pelosi story was BS. If you guys don't wake the hell up and take your blinders off you will continue to be puppets easily manipulated by false but easy scare tactics. Then again if you think that people in charge of the GOP have your best interests at heart I suppose there is no need to change, trust in them and do what they tell you to and everything will be just fine.
PBS broadcast a special with Buffet and Gates answering college students questions at University of Nebraska.
Now that Buffet has made ten$ of billion$, he wants to see a substantial increase in capital gains tax rates. He was bragging about how he took advantage of a low tax rate. Now the rest of us are not supposed to do what he has done.
Typical democrat, I got mine and all I want.
unfortunately I can no longer defend the large majority of losers called republicans. They did what i thought could not be done. Squandered and opportunity to rule for a generation. I simply can not believe they did not come out with any positive legislation.
Unfortnately I know the democrats do not have my interests in heart.
to be a democratic leader is to be by definition an insincere back stabbing liar. The radical fringe groups force such behavior on their leaders. I do not have a problem with fringe groups wanting to have their say. the problem is that the dems have to cobble all these groups together in a sick stew.
