    I certainly don’t think success should be badmouthed – who would bad mouth success?

    I assume you equate suggesting higher taxes for the successful with ‘badmouthing’ their accomplishments. Since Obama wants a piece of the accomplishments, it still doesn’t quite seem like badmouthing. Theft maybe, but badmouthing seems like a non-sequitour.

      It’s as if they aren’t paying their fair share now.
