Bill Bradley: Taxes need to go up on more than just the wealthy

[Sbane]

I agree with the sentiment, though maybe I wouldn't raise taxes on any single person making less than 50k and any family making less than 80k. It won't bring in the almost $4 Trillion letting the entire tax cuts lapse would bring in, but it would be much more substantial than the roughly $1 Trillion tax hike being proposed by the Democrats currently. The way I see it at least $2 Trillion in taxes over 10 years is needed with about $3 Trillion in spending cuts. And most importantly, we need to make sure it isn't passed through reconciliation so every 10 years it can be used as a political football. Republicans complain about not providing certainty when they themselves play the same games.....
