Robert, You are right ! I suggest the GOP give up the rich entirely since they all pay massive protection money to the Dems anyway. Don't fall for the Class warfare ruse. All corporate taxes are passed on to the consumer. Did you know that about $.60 of every gallon of gas you buy goes to the government. The oil companies just collect the tax and pass it on to the State. While politicians wag their fingers at the evil oil companies who make a mere $.07 profit on every gallon. Is the billionaire, Mayor Bloomberg a Republican? nuf said

Brilliant Dennis! Skin in the game is the key. I advocate a 12% flat tax at www.libertysoup.org Check out the 535Project and learn how to INSIST on cuts, a cap and a balanced budget.

Not at all bad D G! **FYI Jason Hsu's recent article "3D Hurricane and the New Normal" published by Research Associates explains both the urgency of the mission and the need for very strong if not extremely painful "belt tightening medicine" for those in government & who rely on the government for sustenance.

Rush predicted Huntsman. He seems Manchurian to me. There is Something fabricated and Soros-funded about him. FYI an article "3D Hurricane and the New Normal" from Research Associates by Jason Hsu explains both the urgency of the mission and the need for very strong if not extremely painful medicine for those who rely on the government for sustenance.
