Sad State of Affairs.

From the AP
WASHINGTON - Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden said Thursday that paying more in taxes is the patriotic thing to do for wealthier Americans. The Republican campaign for president calls the tax increases their Democratic opponents propose "painful" instead of patriotic.
Under the economic plan proposed by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, people earning more than $250,000 a year would pay more in taxes while those earning less — the vast majority of American taxpayers — would receive a tax cut.
"We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people," Biden said in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America."
Noting that wealthier Americans would indeed pay more, Biden said: "It's time to be patriotic ... time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut."

Correct me if I am wrong but we all pay a percentage and therefore those who make more pay more. If they are not I say-get rid of the tax loop holes, and make it fair. Do not expect those who make $250,000 to “be patriotic”, and bail out the companies suffering because their CEO’s were nothing but greedy pigs.
As far as Pelosi saying the democrats have nothing to do with the mess our financial institutions are in—think again Nanc old girl. The de-regulations started with your buddy Bill, as you continue to blame President Bush and republicans.
We are in such a mess, and once again no one is accountable.
