Prove it.
Actually, I answered it quite directly. Politics over policy. Hard to comment without context. Speaking of which, got links for this 800 billion in REVENUE?
Here's the Reuters timeline:
Timeline: Debt debate
I'm just gonna put in the parts speaking directly to revenue.
December 1, 2010 - A report by a bipartisan deficit reduction panel commissioned by Obama advocates $3 trillion in spending cuts and $1 trillion in revenue increases -- mainly by closing loopholes in the tax code -- over 10 years.
June 23 - Republicans declare an impasse in the Biden talks, saying that Democrats are insisting on roughly $400 billion in new revenue by closing tax breaks for the wealthy and certain business sectors.
July 19 - The "Gang of Six" resurfaces with a deficit reduction plan that proposes $3.75 trillion in savings over 10 years and contains $1.2 trillion in new revenues. Obama seizes on it and calls on leaders in Congress to start "talking turkey." House Republicans pass a more drastic $5.8 trillion deficit-reduction plan with a balanced budget amendment.
July 21 - Obama and Boehner are reported to be discussing a $3 trillion deficit-cutting deal. Obama stresses some revenues will need to be included in any accord. Obama meets with congressional Democratic leaders at the White House, but there are no reports of a breakthrough. (Boehner walks out over 400 billion in revenue)
Where is this 800 billion and please tell me again who is willing to compromise and who isn't?
You threw up a guess, that had no bearing on reality. As the DNC took the first initiative.
And you have yet to provide a SINGLE fact to back up your contentions.
I do believe the GOP has long been on record as having their ONLY goal be the failure of this President. That happened long before the DNC allegedly asked Shumer to label the cuts in Ryans extreme plan as extreme.
So where's the 800 billion?
Would you like to see the chart of filibusters and cloture votes from the GnOP since Barack Obama has been President? How about his judicial nominees?
Tell me AGAIN about this Republican party of compromise. I love fairy tales.

The debate in context of the remarks has already taken place. Ignoring that makes this conversation useless. Democrats have been trying to give away the farm. They are being stopped. Exactly what they were sent to washington to do.
Now Democrats set the tone of the legislature. Just think back to HC and you dont have a single excuse for being blocked at every turn.
Now with judicial nominees you have even less creds. It may have been a while but I still recall the scandal. Quid pro quo.
But before this congress even got its feet wet. Budget topics were to be called extreme. That alone set the tone for current negotiations.
So I dont find much sympathy for the left.

So having the GOP leadership blocking anything and everything the president proposes...even before he proposes it didn't set the tone? Having GOP leadership saying that their only goal is to ensure this President's failure didn't set the tone? Blocking every appointment of his doesn't set the tone, but Shumer allegedly being told by the DNC to label Ryans extreme budget cuts AS extreme does?
Way to spin it...

Cold hard facts you are ignoring:
1) There are other federal taxes besides federal income tax, so limiting the discussion only to income tax is dishonest.
2) The reason a large share of the income tax is paid by the rich is because the rich have an unhealthily large share of the income.
It's more money grubbing by Obama and the Statists. The real answer is to cut Government.

God forbid we address the issue of poverty. Much easier to demonize them.

Go do the research, asshole. I'm not here to do the work for you.
Keep in mind that many studies do not include gov't benefits as income.
In addition, according to U.S. Census Bureau data released Tuesday September 13th, 2011, the nation's poverty rate rose to 15.1% in 2010, up from 14.3% in 2009 and to its highest level since 1993. [(United States Census Bureau|U.S. Census Bureau]]

Agreed.
Time to end the wars.
Bring the troops home.
Close all foreign bases.
And cut military spending to "defense" spending.
Should save about 300 billion or so a year.
Don't forget that the new definition for millionaire is anyone making 200K a year
Prove it.

You made an absurd claim and now you need to back it up. But you know what. I'll give you a pass JUST THIS ONCE to shut you up. Though undoubtedly you'll open your mouth and out from it will spew blinded nonsense.
Up until 1970's income inequality was decreasing. Since then it has risen. To give you a more global perspective on the problem...

I did your job for you. I want a reasonable response in compensation.
FWIW, a millionaire is anyone whose assets excede $1,000,000.
I have very little doubt that many people whose incomes are in the $200,000 a year range (and have been for a while) probably ARE millionaires.
FWIW I do not think of them as RICH, they are merely rather affluent.
They are ALSO the people who are getting SCREWED BY THE TAX RATES more than any other class of taxpayers.
