It doesn't. It's like spitting in the ocean. All it will do is make the rich put more and more of their money in a shelter or over seas. It's a gimmick and the incredibly stupid are buying it.
Don't get me wrong I know we will need to raise revenues for the federal govt along with making drastic spending and program cuts to start to work on paying down Obama and Bush's massive debts they added (way more than previous presidents combined so these 2 get to be responsible).
My issue with the Buffet Rule is that the administration, some liberal media pundits, and some of the liberal members here on the USMB are all selling it as THE Solution to our debt crisis and budget defecits. Its dishonest to portray it this way and hurts the nation by putting forward false hope to citizens in a purely political effort to trick them into voting a certain way. That is my true issue, not the buffet rule itself but how Obama and those like him have dishonestly propped it up as something it isn't.
Unless that one action, one step, is an approved liberal solution. Funny, by their own statements, some of the libs right here recognize what you are saying is a fact. It just fails me why they continue to oppose any solution at all if it is not read out of the liberal-progressive playbook.
uscitizen: No one action or step will fix our problems.
