'If you look carefully, President Obama has never explicitly stated that taxing the rich will bring in much revenue. Instead, the president has made sure to give voters the impression that the Republican refusal to tax the rich is the main cause of the deficit and thus the main obstacle to solving the fiscal crisis.
It's basic capitalism. If things appear to be getting worked out, people fell better and go out and spend. Spending leads to more jobs, more jobs lead to more tax revenue, more revenue leads to lower deficits. Why do you need to be schooled on a daily basis? Alzheimer's kicking in?
So more political theater is the cure for all our woes?
