hello america!!! if obama was serious about raising the taxes on the rich, why didn't he bring this up in previous meetings with all the all those company 'big-whigs' &/or the sports teams that he invited to the whitehouse? he recently had the greenbay packers there but, instead of telling them he wanted to raise their taxes & close the loopholes they hide their money in, he joked with them.
obama had a perfect opportunity to confront the weathy (face-to-face) & get their feel about his plans. instead, he would rather wage his fight far from the battle front. when he had that fund raiser in ny with the very wealthy, i'll bet he never got up & said a word about how he wanted to take more money from them unless they were filling his campaign coffers.
obama has been down this road before &, if my understanding of this is right, his own party failed to raise the taxes on the rich.

knowing that he stands very little chance of pulling his proposals off, he'll fall back to blaming the repubs for this failure.
