Dave- hopefully that is not how the plan will work. I'm going to hope that the extra revenue generated by the tax increase won't go to the street corner wino so he can buy a couple of more bottles of Thunderbird.

Perhaps a better use of the money could be put towards more free day care centers so that mothers who work don't have to worry about their kids; or perhaps some mortgage relief to families about to go into foreclosure; or maybe somehow, some way making it a little easier for people to get health care.

I don't know if this is what will happen, but I would like to just suggest that there are worthwhile ways to use that extra tax revenue. Bush used our taxes to fight an unnecessary war, and I am going to go out on a limb and say Obama will find ways to use that money more wisely.

Nobody is for giving away free money to people who don't want to help themselves.
