debt ceiling

it really boggles my mind that something like 60% of polled americans are opposed to raiseing the debt ceiling, and also that a plurality of voters view obama as to blame for this debt ceiling crisis.

so i am curious not so much as to your opinion on what is going to happen, but as to your opinion on how the american people, or people across the world will percive it? do you think that americans are really stupid enough to fall for the republicans destroying the economy to make obama look bad?

I agree in theory, but in practice, trying to make a taxation more progressive usually results in smart accounting finding loopholes for the superrich. How about we remove the need for accountants and lawyers to pay taxes?

Also, we're dealing with percentages, not amounts. Perhaps raise the poverty level to account for inflation
