Its just modified a bit for the Dem electorate as opposed to the republican electorate.

That's about as twisted as it gets SCK.
Republican's are promising a 'fair' er tax, spreading the burden equally. I don't mind so much paying a higher percentage, I do mind paying at a rate that a creditor can't even lend money at without violating federal law. That's where it stands now. I'm not rich, I paid more in taxes than the top two of my kids made last year, and they own their own homes and make a above median level of income. That's obscene in my book.
Democrats are promising a redistributive tax, taking the burden off of even more american's and giving them some of mine, so long as government controls how much to whom.
That's fine if for my 95% of the tax burden I get 95% of the vote. I'm not even currently in that upper 5%, but HOPE to be, he just takes the HOPE away. Now I'm afraid to ask for a pay raise or except a cost of living increase.
American was founded on the principal of hard work and a fair chance to make you own way - not Uncle Sam standing in for Robin Hood robbing hard working normal people and giving the money out for rent subsidies and child support subsidies (look at his plan, we'll be paying tax credits for child support, not just child care).
Even if Robin Hood like redistribution of wealth is considered admirable, let's remember guys like me who go to work, do a highly skilled job all day and make more - are not the Sheriff of Nottingham.
We used to be hero's, now we are targets.
I've decided I don't like the game, so I'm not playing any more, I'm know I'm not alone. All I have to do is take 3-4 months of the year off and Obama is screwed. I'd be happy to do that.
