2012 Approaches America...Is It Finally Time to Tax the Super-rich?

The tug of war hurts. 

The extremist right-wing politicians spurned their way into power, and it appears that they refuse to even negotiate politically with the other side (the left-wing).  The Democrats have done little to help the situation in the US; they either agree to not negotiate with the Republican side (extreme and Tea Party laden as it might be) at all, or worse, they flounder like dying fish out of water amongst themselves, because certain agendas are not Democrat enough for them.

What does all of this generalization and summary of the complex political situation in the US actually mean? 

Well, for starters the country suffers continually from a decades old 20th Century battle between the only two parties that are voting-wise worth a damn.  And both sides are representatives of the super-rich colossus of Western society.

Only in America do the super-rich not only get every tax break and write-off and a disproportionate amount of income taxation, but they also hold all of the important political seats (themselves, or by those who they've bought).

President Obama is the first president since the 1980's to try and halt the growing gap.  He is challenged at every turn by those from his own party and those in the opposing party.  Let the man work

Think on this:  the US is riddled with federal deficit and state deficit at nearly every juncture, yet the politicians continue to argue about what to cut from the middle and lower class Americans.  Never mind that the disparity between the rich and the poor has grown every year from Reagan through George W. Bush (at times earlier too), but why does the income tax structure that is so much more even nearly everywhere else in the world provide such an unfair imbalance in the US? 

Why do all of the millions or billions of little people have to make up for a deficit that could easily be written off with a marginal increase in the income tax of all of those who take in more than a few measly million US dollars a year?

The only answer I can come up with is ignorance.  The politicians have kept the millions from marching on Washington D.C., because the majority of Americans do not request the most fundamental of tax changes:  make the rich pay their fair share.

Spread the word.  Please.
