Majority of Americans: Please raise taxes on billionaires. Congress: Herp derp screw the middle class! Majority: #fuckyouwashington
Senator Bernie Sanders (one of the few Senators I respect) says essentially the same thing, but more eloquently than I did:
The rich are getting richer. Their effective tax rate, in recent years, has been reduced to the...

John Boehner’s “blank check” lie →
