As Obama's class war is endorsed by 51 U.S. senators, polls suggest it's a political winner.
On Monday, the United States Senate voted on S.2230, the Orwellian-of-title "Paying a Fair Share Act of 2012." (More precisely, senators voted on whether to invoke cloture and end debate on the measure.) Based on the so-called "Buffett Rule," the bill, authored by Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and cosponsoredby the most left-wing members of the Senate, aims to raise the taxes of American taxpayers who earn $1,000,000 or more in a year by forcing anyone who meets the income thresholds to pay a minimum percentage of their total income to the federal government.LINK
