She tells CBS’ “Face the Nation” that “I’m saying that’s not off the table.” The California Democrats isn’t getting into specifics but she does discuss changes to tax law that might involve deductions and other breaks.

The former House speaker also says the current Republican Party isn’t the “Grand Old Party that did so many things for America that commanded so much respect.” She says the country needs a strong GOP but she describes the current party as a “really over-the-edge crowd” that’s dominated by an element of “anti-government ideologues” committed to opposing President Barack Obama.

That what “Bolsheviks” did when they took over Russia, first they took everything from well to do people in 1917, than there was a starvation where a lot of people died.
Is she a Communist already or still a Socialist?
Let her go visit her friend Assad again, instead of destroying of what is left of this country!

Power and triumph over evil are never measured in dollar signs. If you want to be quite honest, there is definately more room to tax the ultra wealthy if they want. Personally, I do not think that its socialism until they tax the ultra rich at over 60%. So if they want to make 15 million dollars, take a cut for America.

I would like to see an apples-to-apples breakdown of what someone making X takes home after taxes vs what someone in the next highest tax bracket has to make before their take home is higher. OTOH that may result in a lot of people just deciding to not work any harder.
