It never hurts for the President to continue to mention income inequality

The fact is the more President Obama continues to mention how the wealthiest Americans pay less taxes as a percentage of their income, juxtaposed with how hard working middle class families pay a higher percentage rate of their total income in taxes than many of their bosses, the more this will sink in. The President hit the nail on the hand when he mentioned that Warren Buffet's secretary pays more in taxes than her boss. Every independent voter out there is going to hear this down the campaign trail, and the more they hear this the more they will understand that voting for any of republican candidates will only continue to cause them to struggle to meet their own finical security.
