Paul, for what purpose did you post that link? I was not there, if that's what you were implying. And if your point is to show that there are racists out there, I have never heard anyone deny that. But you are correct, there are racists out there.

Paul, can I ask you an honest question? Can you show me some numbers to support Obama's claim that raising taxes on the wealthy will put a meaningful dent in our debt?

My opinion (and I have shown numbers to support this), is that any revenue generated by tax hikes is utterly meaningless in the face of our debt. I can provide those again if you'd like.

I keep hearing about the importance of "the wealthy paying their fair share". I just want to know what value that adds. I'm a numbers guy, and I am rational, and persuadable.
