Read the whole article before disputing what Reich is saying:Its tax time. Its also a time when right-wing Republicans are setting the agenda for massive spending cuts that will hurt most Americans.
Heres the truth: The only way America can reduce the long-term budget deficit, maintain vital services, protect Social Security and Medicare, invest more in education and infrastructure, and not raise taxes on the working middle class is by raising taxes on the super rich.
Even if we got rid of corporate welfare subsidies for big oil, big agriculture, and big Pharma even if we cut back on our bloated defense budget it wouldnt be nearly enough.
