Obama is still holding steadfast to his demand that tax rates be raised on the "rich" (and again I point out that "rich" in his mind means families earning $250K). Why? Republicans have given in and are open to raising the same level of revenue through the closing of loopholes rather than straight up changes in rates. Because he wants to punish success. Obama wants to clearly label successful people as evil and not deserving of their wealth - they didn't build that!
This is a fundamental difference in philosophy from the country our founding fathers envisioned. It is the same view that enabled the administration to portray Mitt Romney as explicitly morally inferior, and implicitly guilty of some crime or wrongdoing, because he is a successful man. This has been accepted and embraced by the Democratic congress in stark contrast to how John Kerry was received as the party's nominee for President, and his net worth was significantly higher. Of course John Kerry wasn't guilty of earning his money, he married into it. Maybe that's a forgivable sin.
And the liberal guilt for making money must not be assuaged by voluntary charitable works, as the pitiable philanthropic efforts of the Obamas and Bidens can attest, they prefer to take wealth by force.
