BBC News: Reports " President Obama is to use Tuesday's State of the Union speech to call for tax increases on the wealthy to help the middle class, officials say. "
Lets Get Real:
In simple words this idea from POTUS on tax hikes is not going to happen, the Republicans now control the Senate and House, the Oval can not force tax hikes and it is not within his power to make then happen without Congressional authority. This is POTUS playing to the left wing base of the Democratic Party, the Oval knows this is not going to happen, their radar can not be that faulty. In the past the Oval could use the Senate to get its idea through, this is no longer an option, as the Republicans have retaken the House. This is an ode to the left wing of the Democratic Party, nothing more that smoking mirrors.
