Where it's Atman

How difficult would it be for even the poorest of our Congressional Reps to just accept and pass a nominal tax increase on the only people who have benefitted from the Bush/Obama tax breaks? Boom -- a huge part of the debt paid off before you can say "Trickle Down." And the unfortunate wealthy WILL NOT FEEL ONE FUCKING BITE. They won't lose a house, they won't have a car repossessed, they won't lose their health insurance. Solving our current economic crisis won't "cost" them anything but a different number on their tax return. Yet still, taxing the only people who actually have something left to tax is somehow off the table.

There is something much larger going on.

As I said in one of my previous posts...There's a fire just waiting for fuel.
