Take everything they [you] earn, and it still won't be enough.
The bottom line is that Mr. Obama is selling the country on a 2% illusion. Unwinding the U.S. commitment in Iraq and allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire can't possibly pay for his agenda. Taxes on the not-so-rich will need to rise as well...Mr. Obama is very good at portraying his agenda as nothing more than center-left pragmatism. But pragmatists don't ignore the data. And the reality is that the only way to pay for Mr. Obama's ambitions is to reach ever deeper into the pockets of the American middle class.
The 2% Illusion
Ok, so you pointed out you dont like Obama and his plan...if you are not part of a solution you are part of that problem, now what is YOUR solution? It's very easy to sit back and criticize, give the details of YOUR plan lets compare and see which will work and which will not! GOP had 8 yrs to do something, they dug this hole~it will take more than a few tweaks to fill it in again.

Solutions? I read The Wall Street Journal everyday where real solutions are presented by real experts...but everyone agrees it revolves around tax cuts which has been one of the main reasons we have recovered from all previous recessions. CNN had this article from a Harvard Economist touting this very same thing last September:
