91% on millionaires.

We can create a new infrastructure jobs program and still fix the debt in no time.

And that is or should be a big concern. Please join me at the FB group "And from the Left" with any suggestions/thoughts/ideas on how to do so w/o Obama on the ticket.

Raising Medicare eligibility age = mass murder

Lifting the FICA cap will make SocSec solvent for the next 100 years.

Obama has uncanny ability to use the bully pulpit to push back on the 1%. I hope this continues.

I hope you are prepared to totally back up these words and let all tax cuts expire rather than give in to Republican extremism. Do not go Simpson Bowles on us, you will lose us and your good name forever. Be prepared to let "the worst" happen according to the nattering class, but after all tax cuts expire, propose a law to lower taxes on people making less than $250,000 a year and dare Repugs to vote against that. They are NOT going to compromise willingly. You, unfortunately, set the std. of caving to them so they don't think you have backbone enough to stand against them on tax policy.

Cutting taxes does not create jobs and you know that. Don't fall down that rabbit hole again or your election means little.

but lets show the majority in Congress, what the will of the people looks like.
The President needs our help with this one.
lets make up a phone list and start calling.
What do you think?
