thats why we are happy in DU today
he fought like a Dem

while warning it about the siren song that is Romney/Ryan. By all measures, Biden put on a masterful performance. One of the greatest debate performance in history, worthy of Lincoln in debates. Lincoln had a technique for ridiculing his opponent while at the same time de-constructing their arguments with facts. Uncle Joe pulled us back from jumping off a ledge last night, he pulled the nation back from that same jump. Let's go forward and win the Presidency and races across the country, for us and for the nation.

As far as I am concerned, my taxes can be raised without impacting me in any real significant way.

An astute business owner makes adjustments to his plan to accommodate the changing regulatory, tax, and economic climate, or will either stop being successful or flat-out fail.

If my tax rate increases, I will then seek to ameliorate the amount paid by investing in upgrading my physical plant, which is encouraged by the tax code.

I buy new equipment, which creates demand and jobs, as a result I get more efficient, and I get a new round of tax depreciation to offset earnings.

Win/win, all around.

Only an idiot for a businessman doesn't understand this.

The Republican Party underestimates millions of Americans who do not knee jerk oppose paying fair taxes to live in a country with values and priorities that we all can be proud of. Actually they can read the polls as well as anyone else. They already know that most Americans would even consider paying a little bit more if that would save the economic safety net that 80% of our citizens count on being there should they ever need it. It's a subset of the 1% who are intellectually dishonest about Americans willingness to pay fair taxes to keep our people healthy, our public schools funded, our seniors cared for, our infrastructure competitive for the 21st century, and those truly in need kept from going under.
