Unsurprisingly, given the fact that he’s been hammering on fair taxes all week and the Buffett Rule is coming to a vote this coming week, President Barack Obama came out and hit hard in his weekly address this morning on the fairness (or current unfairness, actually) of our current tax structure.
Interestingly, he added a newer ingredient to the mix of fairness and playing by the same rules—the issue of growth, presumably as a more targeted pitch to moderates and those who aren’t exactly suffering in the current system.
Now, this is not just about fairness.
