In this highly charged political season, President Barack Obama and his party are pushing to extend the Bush era tax cuts, except for the “rich.” They want taxes for the rich to increase. So when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was asked why taxes on the rich weren’t raised when the Democrats controlled both houses of Congress and the Presidency two years ago, he could not answer the question, except to say…”next question?”
Perfectly reasonable questions with Jay Carney style dodge the issue answers. He’s just going along with this administrations playbook.
