Sorry to all those to whome I have not replied or visited, which is pretty much everyone as of late. Finals push...
But here is another email from the DNC. I do not like the smell of this... Reeks of things to come. And it looks like folks there are trying hard to "normalize" high taxes.
"Dear...
Earlier this week, President Obama announced a bold set of proposals to crack down on
overseas tax havens and encourage job creation at home.
While hard working Americans pay our fair share, some of the largest, most powerful interests exploit
tax loopholes that actually reward companies for creating jobs overseas and allow them to use
tax shelters to avoid paying their rightful share.
To see the difference between your approach and theirs, check out our new Tax Fairness Calculator.
You can enter what you earn, find out what the average American owes on that amount, and then see what you could pay if you were a multi-national corporation. Try it out!
Warning: Using this tax calculator may fill you with an irresistible urge to fix this broken system. Fortunately, that's exactly what we can do -- if we act together.
The special interests will fight hard for the status quo, and their lobbyists are already swarming in
Washington. Now we have to stand up and show how much support the President's proposals really have out here in America.
After you use the Tax Fairness
Calculator, please add your name to our public declaration saying that you stand behind the President's plan for tax fairness and job creation.
Try the calculator and add your name now:

These proposals are a key part of the President's plan to get our economy back on track, and it's time for us to stand up and help make it happen. Working together to make our country a fairer, more prosperous place is the reason we built this movement.
Thanks so much,
Mitch
