The BlogProf:  “After calling for a ‘new civility,’ Obama used his SOTU address to demonize the most productive Americans. Again. A quote from his SOTU speech on January 25, 2011:

‘And if we truly care about our deficit, we simply cannot afford a permanent extension of the tax cuts for the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans. It’s not a matter of punishing their success. It’s about promoting America’s success.’

Except it IS a matter of punishing their success.”

The charts and graphs in the article will shock the uninformed that think the rich aren’t paying their fair share of federal income taxes.
