House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi isn’t ruling out pushing for upper-income earners to pay more even after the “fiscal cliff” deal that raised their taxes.
She tells CBS’ “Face the Nation” that “I’m saying that’s not off the table.” The California Democrats isn’t getting into specifics but she does discuss changes to tax law that might involve deductions and other breaks.
The former House speaker also says the current Republican Party isn’t the “Grand Old Party that did so many things for America that commanded so much respect.” She says the country needs a strong GOP but she describes the current party as a “really over-the-edge crowd” that’s dominated by an element of “anti-government ideologues” committed to opposing President Barack Obama.

Anti tax means anti governmenmt by Pelosi. You are taxing the people until will are in a communist state
I wonder how much Pelosi is going to be willing to pay. She’s pretty wealthy. I’m sure she’ll find a way to get out of paying her share of taxes. That’s only for the peasants. She’s from the ruling crowd.
We have to ask that those of the top 1% who have been most vocal about the Fair Share ethic to agree to pay the 2013 rates on their 2012 income. In the 1980s they made Ronald Reagan pay his Social Security back to the government.
Keep in mind that she lives in California, which just voted in some high high taxes for their rich. Unless she’s got residency in another state, she’s paying thru the nose.
