To touch on this, there was a live simulcast that was done with Pres. Obama and the folks of Linkedin.com in the heart of silicon valley. One obvious thing while watching of course was that a majority of the attendees were largely democrat, which is somewhat beside the point. What struck me was that there was a guy (supposedly the co-founder of Google based on rumors... I haven't confirmed) who asked the question, "Can you please raise my taxes?"

What I find ironic about the whole thing, particularly Democrats who are wealthy, is that they blame rich Republicans of this and that and yet they themselves are very rich. If this guy was the co-founder of Google, he doesn't need his taxes raised to put more money into the pockets of the government... if I recall, the government still takes donations! Cut them a check but don't throw other folks into the mess by globally stating to raise ALL of our taxes. The late Steve Jobs was a Democrat and of course very wealthy but on the contrary, he was the poster child of capitalism which has largely become a Republican talking point.
