What you are advocating the Dems will never accept, the only way to ensure everyone pays their fair share without loop holes or special gov considerations is a flat tax. But it is a very tough sell because the money changers don't want to pay their fair share and the politicians get paid for special consideration during elections.
But then no one would have anything to point their fingers at for failure of our system other then themselves.
Why do you think the Dems didnt pass immigration reform between 08'-10' when theg had complete control? Because they needed to drive a wedge between the republicans and hispanics. Why do you think they don't want to fix the diff between the haves and have nots, again to create a wedge between them and the republicans.
It's all a big political game and the biggest losers are the most vulnerable americans.

The choice of words we use leaves much of what we say open to debate.
I feel that there is a case to use the idea that there is a middle class in America.
I believe that this group of people have a set of values that have great merit.
It is this group that is what I feel holds the country together.
This group is losing it's hold on influence on what & how things our done in this country.
I have always looked at having middle class values as getting value & giving value.
Always with the thought in mind that we are all in this together & the my well being is connected to your well being.
It is not the amount of money that makes you middle class but how you view the money.
With what is happening now is some are moving up the ladder so to speak & can be said to be rich.
But many more are lower on the list & slipping down.
In my mind as they grow in wealth too many become greedier.
For some they will never have enough.
People like that have to much influence over what is going on.
I save that this causes the rest of us to fun faster with out getting any where.
Bottom line is that money has to move through the system better, with every one having a fair chance to have a good life.
It is for each of us to weigh the impact we have on each other.
We have to say that at some point I have enough & that as we seek more is our life & the life or others truly better.
We all can be a better person if we let our trust in our self & others free to find the answers to our problems.
I say that the souls that seek material wealth have the greatest fears.
I think many of us have the trust in our self & others needed to not fear what should be done.
Many little thoughts & ideas pass through our heads & I hope that I made some sort of sense out of this.
