An Easy Way to Raise Taxes on the Rich

Why is a "compromise" needed now? Since when is a "plan", a spending bill, or a "compromise" needed to raise the debt ceiling? John Boehner keeps asking, "Where's Obama's plan?" - - - as if Obama is even supposed to have any plan in regards to raising the debt ceiling. (It's a one-sentence bill). The debt ceiling has to be raised (by law) to pay for previous spending passed by congress. Future spending was never tied to past spending before. It was the Republicans who are trying to impose a PLAN, when no "plan" is even necessary to raise the debt ceiling. Future spending and past spending are different issues. Why did Obama and the Democrats even acknowledge any plan or compromise in the first place? The Republicans failed to kill Medicare the last time with Paul Ryan's plan, so now they are using the debt ceiling (and the threat of default) to kill Medicare another way. That much is obvious. The next time the Republicans (and John Boehner) want to fund another war, Obama should insist on a "plan" or a "compromise" to first raise taxes on the rich before any further funding can be made for the 3 wars we're now engaged in. The next time the Republicans (and John Boehner) want to fund oil subsidies and other corporate welfare, Obama should insist on a "plan" or a "compromise" to first raise taxes on the rich before any further funding can be made for THAT waste, fraud, and abuse. The next time the Republicans (and John Boehner) want to give a government no-bid contract to a corporation in the defense industry that doesn't pay taxes, Obama should insist on a "plan" or a "compromise" to first raise taxes on the rich before any further funding can be made for THAT waste, fraud, and abuse as well. Then Obama can say, "We presented our plan, where's Boehner's plan?"
