No one in that group would tolerate going back to a 91% tax rate, and 50% on capital gains, especially when half the population would be paying NO taxes.
That's strange, because I've seen numerous fiscally conservative Republicans publicly support Obama. One of the reasons cited is the fact that he runs his campaign like a traditional Republican in terms of spending whereas McCain was running a deficit campaign. Many also viewed the Bush policies reckless and out of control spending and warring as particularly troublesome. McCain is a continuation of those policies, according to them. I've read about them as well as seen powerful Republicans publicly state their support on news shows.
