Democrats call for ending tax cuts for rich

USA Today reports:
Democratic presidential candidates Thursday called for ending tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans in a debate focusing on domestic issues related to minorities.

The Democratic hopefuls called for a more direct presidential role in addressing racism that they said continues to run through American society, and in treating and preventing AIDS, which they said has disproportionately affected African-Americans.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York said money from the elimination of tax cuts that were a cornerstone of President Bush's policies would finance universal health care for all Americans. She criticized Bush for what she called his indifference to income inequity.
Do you really think just raising taxes on the rich can pay for socialist health care?
