This has caused the middle class to abandon savings and increase personal debt to maintain their quality of life. The wealthy however; have seen their income increase to levels not seen sense before the great depression and their wealth has grown to similar levels as well. If lowering the top marginal tax rate 15% over the last 30 years has contributed to this class disparity, why would anyone think lowering the top rate another 15% would fix the middle class woes. It's like drinking 5 beers and saying, I have a buzz so I better drink 5 more to sober up before I drive home. Not only will it not work it will lead to an eventual crash. We need to realize the wealthy care about their wealth not the middle class. If we want to grow the middle class then lets support those who look to apply the principles that created the largest expansion of middle class america in our history from the 50's through the 70's. I would close by saying that this is not class warfare, it's common sense, what is class warfare is what has been going on for the last 30 years and Mitt Romney is looking to escalate it to new levels.
(Credit this statement to Charles DeSyliva a wise man) I have double checked these statements and facts and have verfiyed them
Agreed. Mitt sux.

There is NO GOOD REASON for an honest man not to release his tax returns. He says he pays "a lot" of taxes, and he's always bragging about his business acumen. He should be in a RUSH to show the returns, right?

Fuck Mitt.
