You Know What To Do!

At a post-victory press conference, Sen. Dianne Feinstein noted that the electorate is sorely divided, but President Obama can claim a “mandate” that puts him in a strong spot to demand that the GOP House cave on his demand for a tax hike on the top income earners — those who earn more than $250,000.
Feinstein added, “No one in the state of California who earns above $250,000 has ever said to me, ‘Look, I need a tax cut.’ And if they do, I would sure like for them to pick up the phone and call me and tell me why, and why they don’t like this proposal.”
DiFi wants to hear from you.
Now I would argue that ending the Bush tax cuts for any group of earners isn’t cutting their taxes, but raising them. And that a tax increase from 35 percent to 39.6 percent is not, as Feinstein maintained, “a little bit more.”
I know that Senator Feinstein cares about what California businesses think. So if you earn more than $250,000 and you want to see your taxes raised, you might want to give the Senator’s office a call to let her know you agree. And if you don’t, pick up the phone. Sen. Feinstein wants to hear from you.
The best phone number is: is 202-224-3841. If the Senator’s office shares responses with me, I shall share them with you.
