No way, Obama would never raise it above 40%.

Why do you think that? It would be the first Democratic controlled Washington in History not to.

What's that saying about crazy? "Doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result" or something? :p

It was 39.6% under Clinton.  That's under 40%.  Really closing the tax loopholes is as big of an issue as raising taxes.

Clinton never controlled both the house and the senate. Look at the tax rates when those things happened.
