Let’s Make a Deal

n an effort to minimize the public outrage over Obama’s tax proposal, Democrats are packaging the tax hikes as a mere reinstatement of the Clinton-era rates. After all, everyone knows that the ‘90s conjure up an image of peace and prosperity; why not invoke the nostalgia?

For one thing, they are obfuscating the fact that the Obamacare tax increases will take effect in just one month. Together with those new taxes, the rich will be paying a lot more than they did during the Clinton years. But why not make the following deal. Al right, Democrats, you feel that we need to raise taxes on the top 2%, and that 50% of the income tax burden is not enough for them? Then let’s also revert back to the Clinton-era spending levels.
