The "Buffett Rule" is almost certain to be shot down by House Republicans (and perhaps some scared Democrats). However, with this level of support for raising taxes on the rich, Obama and the rest of the Democratic Party would have a powerful argument to make against the Republican Party -- if they choose to use it. It is time to make it crystal clear that the Republicans are seeking to transform this country into a land ruled by the very rich.

Hell, why not think outside the box, any employee hired by a corporation could be worth some amount of tax deduction for said employer as long as that employee is on the payroll. The more the employee makes, and the more employees hired, the bigger the tax cut for the corporation. People off of unemployment and benefits, the poor corporations get a tax break and more money into the economy, win win win
