| Jennifer Rubin: Obama's class war against his supporters Nov 21st 2012, 14:45 Democrat and former Michael Dukakis campaign manager Susan Estrich is very upset that the presidential candidate whom she supported actually is intent on raising taxes on the rich — which, lo and behold, includes her. She complains: "I did not vote for Obama because I think I am paying too little in taxes. Like many people I know, I am 'rich' by Obama's standards.

That means that no matter who "wins" this showdown, the parties' antique thinking guarantees that any deal they strike will be merely the first of much bigger future adjustments as the baby boomers retire.
