GOP and Taxes, the danger of our current tax policy

I have included this table from a great article in this month's Rolling Stone written by Tim Dickinson titled "How the GOP Became the Party of the Rich". Regardless of your political viewpoint, I encourage you to read this. I believe that, in light of upcoming events, the important takeaway is that raising taxes is not inherently a Democratic viewpoint. I think that it is also important to look at what individuals and industries have benefitted from tax cuts over the past ten years and what services and infrastructure we may have sacrificed because of them. Either way, take a look and feel free to fact check the information. The one thing that I will say is that at this point in time no party should be removing defecit reduction possibilities off of the table and comprimise will be needed if we are going to get the country on more sound financial footing.
