It is clear, that at the very least, the millionaire's tax is little more than an election year ploy devised to motivate a less than enthusiastic liberal base going into this year's election; and a good one at that! I can think of no one who will view those earning more than $1,000,000 per year as down-trodden victims under attack. So what if the very rich are forced to cough up a few extra points? I mean this sincerely and seriously, the public at large will not sympathize....But what if Republicans did not oppose this tax? The revenue from the tax does nothing to help Democrats bring down the deficit or unemployment. With no opposition to the tax, Democrats will have little to motivate their base and have nothing more than their record to run on. Without a very strong voter turnout, Democrats stand an excellent chance of losing not only the Presidency but the Senate as well. Is it time for Republicans to stand firmly for their principles or sacrifice for the greater good? If Republicans feel that strongly about the millionaire's tax, they can repeal it after taking back the Senate and White House in 2012. In order to save the country from this administration's bankrupting social agenda, the millionaires should just suck it up for a year and pay the tax. It is after all, small price to pay for tossing this administration out of power.
