Interview, " How Many Dancing Lessons Do Your Horses Need?" quote by Abigail Disney, 11/26/12

"Not Raising Taxes on the Rich Defies Logic" ....title of clip at You Tube..

From November 26 2012, From an interview by Lawrence O'Donnell, with Ben Jealous of NAACP & Abigail Disney. This Statement is made at about 5:30 into interview by Abigail Disney. The interview was concerning a deal to extend the tax cuts for middle class by Obama. Also, Obama proposed that the top income bracket go up 4 and 1/2 per cent. I do not know if this passed.

Important Note: This was 7 years ago when Obama was President and the discussion was concerning a bill being submitted then.

The Discussion is about a small tax increase for the rich. I believe that this is significant because we are still having this discussion today, and that one statement that Disney said rang a loud bell with me. I was trying to find out more about Abigail Disney and found this clip in the process. Also, I found the above quote by a very rich person quite remarkable... Thank You for watching this..
