Gov. Pat Quinn scales back budget cuts after protests - chicagotribune.com



Well, what this Governor really needs to do is go back to Clinton-era taxation. The wealthy must pay their fair share. They have gotten off for 10+ years not helping this country, and now is the time for this madness to stop.

The rich have shipped our jobs overseas with the blessing of presidents since the 80's. Under President Eisenhower they paid nearly 80% in taxes. Now they are down to 33%. But that's not good enough for them. They want everything from the air we breath to the water we drink, de-regulated so they can poison, and pollute. They must pay their fair share. They must have their taxes raised back to 1990 levels. If they don't like it, well, let's be like that dictator of a governor in Wisconsin, and never compromise. We must insist on bringing back taxes to those levels. This is the only way these greed merchants will finally get the message.

Raise taxes back to 39% on the wealthy 2%. They can afford it. Don't fall for that lame excuse of doing such will kill jobs. So far the GOP hasn't brought forth one idea/solution for creating one single job. All they have done is re-ignite the Culture Wars, attacks on women, and gave away tax cuts to the rich. Please, don't ever vote for them again.

Raise Taxes On The Wealthy. They have had a free ride for over a decade.
