The truth is that Mr. Romney has been trying to incite the anger of a small slice of the richest Americans who need no government assistance but get it anyway, against the working poor, the elderly, the disabled workers and veterans, and even a significant chunk of middle-class Americans.

-Last paragraph and oh so true-

The right wing has long been whining about people who don’t pay taxes and who therefore don’t deserve a say in government. They have it exactly backward. The shame is not that those people don’t pay income taxes. The shame is how many poor people there are when the top 1 percent can amass uncountable fortunes fed by tax breaks and can donate tens of millions of dollars to political candidates to keep it that way.

Fishy, Do you remember when Reagan laid a copy of the tax code on the lecturn? That was between 1980-1988

Reagan had the Senate, I think for a total of two years. Thats it.
Republicans took over in 1995 January. And again in 2010 but not completely. Below is the ERA that Democrats controlled both the House and Senate.
1981 97 Senate 53 Rep House 244 Democrats
1980 96th Congress Senate 58 democrats House 277 Democrats
1955 84th Senate 47+1 Dem House 232 Democrats

If you dont like the tax cuts for the rich, blame democrats
