As I view the struggle heat up over the President’s American Jobs Act, I see the continual cacophony of the Republican side chanting the same chorus, any increase in revenues is a “non-starter,” the deficit is the real problem, we need to keep cutting in order to improve the economy, and of course, my favorite: “if we cut taxes even further, we’ll encourage job creation.”

One of the voices we haven’t heard lately is that of Eric Cantor, my opponent next year. He’s still recovering from his latest gaffe in August when he promised aid to hurricane and earthquake victims, but, “we must make cuts elsewhere.” He’s taken a break from his race to 3rd world status that he and his cronies seek for our country; you know the “land of the free, home of the brave.” He’s hoping that everyone will forget that, while he ignores the needs of his constituents, and promotes the wants of the wealthiest, most privileged, the economy and the rate of unemployment stagnate. But he always has his buddy John Boehner to carry the standard. Yesterday he called the President’s plan “class warfare.” The President called his proposal to establish a millionaire tax rate and his effort to close various loopholes, “math.” The President is right. But let’s assume that Boehner is correct. Let’s take one aspect of the “class warfare.”
