I really do not believe the Founders envisioned America's being transmuted into The Benefactor State...

And President Obama wishes to increase those taxes--ostensibly, upon only The Evil Rich; but if he is elected to a second term, I am confident that he he will eventually try to raise taxes upon the middle class also, in order to support Obamacare and the rest of our ever-increasing entitlements.

(As an aside, I seem to infer from your words, above, that you resent the fact that marginal tax rates are not as high as they were, say, during the Eisenhower administration; or as high, perhaps, as they were during WWII. Am I mistaken in believing that?)

I am for a tax increase to pay the bills. Might as well use the money for that since the wealthy are simply sitting on it. Capitalism doesn't work if the rich hoard the capital.
