Not nearly as terrible as the Bush tax-cuts turned out now...maybe dont raise it right now, but after the economy recovers a little we need to spread this wealth around, instead of just letting the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Carter was an underrated president, he actually did a lot of good for our country.
