Why did Charlie Gibson challenge Obama on his misguided intention to raise capital gains taxes, but....?

he let Hillary off the hook regarding her mis-truths about the cost of the Bush "tax cuts for the wealthy." I guess Charlie did not think it was right to inform her that tax receipts exploded following the reduction in tax rates, so where is the cost that she refers to? The top 1% of taxpayers pay >35% of personal income taxes, so who is she kidding when she implies that tax cuts are paid for on the backs of the middle class? Tax receipts INCREASED Hillary. She shovels political rhetoric that, unfortunately, has absolutely no basis in fact and is laped up by the misinformed. Hillary seems like just another typical Democrat trying to fan the flames of class warfare to the detriment of the country. Will they ever learn? Will most voters ever be informed enough to even have a clue and possibly justify their right to vote? People have a responsibility to be informed before voting, or should not deserve to have the right bestowed upon them. What do you think?

1. I don't think it matters .On any given day one or the other is let off the hook by someone in the Media that has a chance to nail them to the wall.This Election is all a Sham.Not one viable Candidate this time.Once again.I just wish that there was someone that had the smarts and a background in business.We need someone that can turn this country into a Profitable successful Working country again.Instead of being the Worlds biggest consumer of Technology,We need to be the Worlds Biggest Retailer of Technology based industry.
2. Lets also not forget that the Bush Tax cuts also wxtended tax breaks to the lowest earners resulting 57.5 million filers that pay NO income tax whatsoever. Since the Bush tax cuts went into effect, a growing number of tax filers have been paying no federal income taxes. Millions who paid into the federal till each year before 2001 now get every dollar back that the federal government withheld from their paychecks during the year, and then some. This trend is well documented but frequently ignored by critics of the tax cuts Source:http://www.taxfoundation.org/news/show/1916.html
