Sounds like you've got a chip on your shoulder tonight but I'll bite, why the hell does the Democratic party always have to be the adults in the room?

The only reason for that is the fact that they keep running on a tax the rich platform, essentially saying we are going to have to raise taxes to pay for this mess that the republicans left us in, but we are going to make the wealthy pay. Unfortunately, taxes seem to keep going up, and the wealthy keep not paying, trickling everything down to the middle class. Just trying to hold them to their promises. Remember, I am not a republican or a democrat. I think both parties should be held accountable to keeping their promises. Oh wait, they're all wealthy politicians, what am I thinking?
