Fun Fact

Under the Bush regime, the top earning 400 Americans have seen their wealth increase by $670 billion dollars. That's not a joke.

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is proposing a "five-year, 10 percent surtax on income over $1 million a year for couples and over $500,000 for single taxpayers," which he says he would "yield more than $300 billion in revenue."

That's nearly half the bailout right there. I'm hoping Barack lets Senator Sanders pitch him this idea once he's in office.
