At least one Missouri Senator supports fairer taxation

Fortunately and again, no surprise, but at least one of our Missouri Senators is wise and fair enough to have voted for the "Buffet Rule" for fairer taxation in the US yesterday. Our own Senator Claire McCaskill had wisdom and sense enough to vote for this bill that would have the wealthy of the nation pay at least what the rest of us--the middle- and lower-class of the country--pay in taxes, at least by percentage.

A little of what she so rightly said: "Those who think the solution to our debt crisis is to force middle class families to pay a higher tax rate than multi-millionaires, while expanding tax giveaways to those same multi-millionaires, are not serious about tackling our nation's fiscal problems." Go get 'em, Claire. Link: http://mccaskill.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=1533
