President Obama said “progressive taxation,” compared Republicans to Gilded Age elites & John Carney probably just fainted

What on earth will Carperist Democrats like John Carney run on if President Obama starts sounding like a traditional Democrat?

President Obama offered one of his most detailed critiques yet of the GOP’s bedrock philosophy, likening them to a long line of discredited political movements who opposed taxes on the wealthy and regulations on business.

“I believe that this country succeeds when everyone gets a fair shot, when everyone does their fair share, and when everyone plays by the same rules,” Obama told a crowd at a high school in Osawatomie, Kansas. “Those aren’t Democratic or Republican values; 1% values or 99% values. They’re American values, and we have to reclaim them.”
