He couldn't get what he wanted done even with a democratically ran senate and congress is because his plans were so bull s**t they couldn't even support them.
On taxing rich. If you took 100% of the money from everyone in the country that makes 250,000 a year you would only make enough money to run the government for 2 weeks if that now. Only way to be "fair" with taxes is to make everyone pay taxes. Because something like 55% pay no taxes at all. But that's a shitty idea to because I am considered "middle class" even though I have to crawl around looking for scrap to sell to make gas money to make it to college. So at the moment making rich pay more wont do anything and taxing everyone won't either. Only solution is to cut spending. I know where we can start to. Cut the millions of dollars Harry Reid bitched and complained about to get for his freaking cowboy poetry.
The education deal here in Kentucky is horrible. Tuition goes up at 12% at my college every semester. But every semester the teaching quality goes down. My first semester I actually learned stuff. Now I show up to my math class and have to listen to 35 minutes of my professor giving her political views.
No. I'm not really sure where you got those stats... but no. You should look up the economic gap between the top 4% of the nation and the rest. It's really ridiculous. Also, bottom 50% of the nation only earns something around 13% of the GDP.
As to the rest of your statement, read this:

Wealthy get tax breaks too. A lot of the time they hide their income in overseas investments. Go look up households making over 1 million who paid absolutely no federal income tax.
