No one is talking about confiscatory taxation. We're talking about taxing the corporations and the upper 2% at the same rate they were taxed under Clinton. As I recall, those folks were living pretty damn well back then too.

I don't know about you, but when I hear Republicans refer to the same folks who are doing all of their hiring in India and East Asia as "job creators", I'm inclined to grab a pitchfork and join the nearest angry mob.
Yes, spending is way out of control and it needs to be cut, but the only real way to get out of this mess is to grow the
domestic economy and thereby triple the net worth of the
American tax base.
