Is Obama trying to take us back to the Carter years?

"If the Democrats' millionaire surtax were to happen—and were added to other tax increases already enacted last year and other leading tax hike ideas on the table this year—this could leave the U.S. with a combined federal and state top tax rate on earnings of 62%. That's more than double the highest federal marginal rate of 28% when President Reagan left office in 1989. Welcome back to the 1970s. " WSJ 5/2011

I think Carter calls Obama once in a while and tells him how to be a bigger disaster than he was. Too bad for the rest of us it is working.

I don't think you could get as bad as Jimmy "Pass the Peanuts" Carter.
