Barack Obama, President of the senior staff laid his suggestion, the control of the federal deficit, and create jobs on Sunday night. The plan says, in the next ten years more than $4 trillion, it cut for the rich mainly from the $1.5 trillion tax increase,. The touchstone of rhetoric, they mentioned in the background of the staff and the share that "fair," they say is what the rich its rate the same or higher than middle-income americans.
Republican threw himself on that of massive tax increases on anyone would kill jobs and hinder economic recovery. Republican Congressman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, said Obama's plan will create less investment and job creation tax less and resource recovery power supply. "If your tax more, Chris, you get less," Ryan told fox on Sunday the Chris Wallace (see "10 big government a showdown.")
And then, he broke the republican debate the touchstone of rhetoric: the class struggle. "The class struggle, Chris, may make real good politics, but it makes bad economics."
Who won the politics of the "fair share between" and "the class struggle" combat?
Technical aspects of the statement is easy to analytical. Democrats, the cumulative tax code, the idea that the wealthy should pay at least the same tax rates for the middle class, perhaps rate is higher. On the whole, republicans, said fair is based on the overall tax bill, is by different groups of pay scale: the richest 1%, for example, in 2008 to pay all of the federal income tax of 38%, while the bottom 50% pay only 3% said, the foundation of heritage. "Tea party movement same problem-the".
Politically, it's more complicated. Obviously, the two sides reach a news of them, their base. "Fair share" is straight up talks alliance, and will resonate, democrat barack Obama wants to consolidate and motivate the enterprising a severe economic disputes over trifles. "The class struggle" to open the purse, rich in campaign season and faucet of passion and active anti-government tea party movement, this will according to each Democrats bed socialism.
Regardless of whether or not a news in the middle of the advantage? Blue-collar Reagan Democrats hate "class struggle." May is racial "dog whistle" component is still from the 1960 s and Nixon's southern strategy, and the resonance of the power is degressive. "Fair share" can dig some in the middle of the reverse of Wall Street anger, and vote, most americans think for the rich tax should be clear. But, the two news seems to be mainly is aims at the base.
