Senator Joe Biden on C-SPAN September 11th pointed out that if the top

the extra money paid into the Treasury in this single year by the top
1% would cover the 87 Billion Bush has just asked for. FWIW the bottom
I say again bottom ranking income in that 1% rank is a cool 675,000
bucks. He just squeaked in, I guess. Senator Biden promised he will
introduce a bill into the Senate to effect such an action.

If they would just collect the taxes from people who haven't paid taxes
for the last 5 years, we could fund 10 wars.

The Democratic answer to taxes, is that we need to spend it, and not
let the "we the people" have it. It is also a federalist agenda, where
states can just go to hell.

....as opposed to what appears to be the current Republican thinking of
"just spend it. We don't need no stinking taxes."
