“We should ask the wealthiest Americans to pay a little more, a modest amount,” Obama said recently. “There are a lot of well-to-do Americans, patriotic Americans, who understand this and are willing to do the right thing.”
(Let’s not quibble as to whether raising income tax rates by more than 10 percent — not to mention capital gains taxes jumping from 15 percent to around 23 percent — is “a little.”)
In Obama’s America there are two groups: The “patriotic” folks who support higher taxes. And those who don’t. That’s the unpatriotic group. They don’t love their country as much as people who support tax hikes.
