Who do you consider "the rich" with that blanket comment coffeesp00ns? Who is the rich? Do all the "rich" have their hands in the pockets of politicians? You would surely have to include all political parties as the Democrat party now has more "rich" than the Republican Party! If you take all the "rich" have, then who runs the businesses, enterprises, computer companies, etc. I agree with you about good bills reaching the floor, and no more "we've got to pass it to see what's in it - which is turning out to be a huge debacle - type of politics. I hear this all the time, "tax the rich" - to our peril!
