You must give credit to the Democrats because they have continuously hammered "the tax breaks for the rich" theme so effecively that it is accepted as FACT by a majority of voters...
Meanwhile, the Republicans are nowhere to be found on counter attacking wth the FACTS! To wit, the top 1% pay over 39% of the taxes! WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS SO INEPT AT GETTING THEIR SIDE OF THE STORY OUT TO THE PUBLIC? ESPECIALLY, WHEN THEIR ARGUMENT IS FACTUAL?
