Someone just posted a link on Facebook for "Tell Congress: Support the Buffett Rule". It simply says: "As part of his deficit reduction plan, President Obama proposed a new tax on incomes over one million dollars that would prevent millionaires and billionaires from paying a lower tax rate than the middle class. Tell your member of Congress to make the super-wealthy pay their fair share!".
When you follow the link, you simply fill in your address and create an e-mail to your congress person urging him to support the "Buffett Rule". There is nothing that gives any statistics, nothing that provides any rationale. It's just populist bullshit and it creates such a flood of e-mail to senators and representatives that they ignore it all. Oh, yeah, the Buffett Rule, cool.... I'm for it. What is it and what effect does it really have?
Do the research before pushing the EASY button.
