A "compromise" with no tax increases when "Only 34% [of Americans] preferred a debt reduction plan based solely on spending reductions."
And what percentage of that 34% is enjoying a higher quality of life than 10 years ago AND makes under $250K a year?
I have to wonder. (yes, even knowing the [perceived] political alignment of HN and risk I'm taking with my vital karma.)

- sliverstorm 15y agoIf you're trying to imply that those 34% must be the wealthy, remember that the vast majority of wealth in America is held by something like 1% of the population, not 34%.

My point was that I'm sure the 34% is full of people that make significantly less and yet pay a higher tax rate than those they're idealistically defending (meanwhile enjoying unemployment and having their benefits put at risk due to "compromise" tactics and the in-fighting)
