of particular interest is this quote -


Noting that wealthier Americans would indeed pay more, Biden said: "It's time to be patriotic ... time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut."


So what do you think?

Whenever any candidate or media outlet uses the nebulous term “wealthy” or “rich” I get uneasy.

I never liked NAFTA that was one thing that Clinton got very wrong IMHO.

Even in one state, wealthy changes meaning depending on where you are.

No, actually the spike in the early 90s was due to stock options.


If you look at the stock market in the 90s, it grew significantly and steadily.

I for one oppose it.


I don't think companies should be bailed out any more than individuals should be.

They have gotten much from this country and it's time that they show their appreciation.
