    I'm guessing you think only property owners should vote?

    He wants people like Romney to pay even more because he thinks its wrong that Romney might pay a lower rate on his income than someone who still makes far more money than Catawba does

    And Romney has the gaul to propose cutting the tax rates even further for the rich while ending the payroll tax cut for the working class.

    Romney and his Bush policies is going to be about as popular among the general election voters as pneumonia.

    Its your friggin party that pushed the social security ponzi scheme on us and it was never supposed to be taxes but a forced contribution. You get what you pay for? Guess what? ROMNEY GETS NO MORE SS BENEFITS THAN SOMEONE WHO PAYS THE SAME AMOUNT AS HE DOES

    THE RICH ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO PAY THE ESTATE TAX meaning the middle class benefit from a tax THEY CONTRIBUTE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO so your moronic claim that the middle class don't benefit from estate cut taxes is pathetic class hate based idiocy

    LOL! Like many people who ACTUALLY ARE wealthy, I have found a variety of ways in which to assure that my hard work and good fortune over the years have an impact in my community. No problems there. Problems however remain legion within a broader economy that was nearly destroyed by 30 years of moronic right-wing deregulation, social darwinism, and laissez-faire free-market capitalism. What a disastrous wrong turn all this will seem in the history books!!!


    I will tell you what, you send your tax form 1040 to a mod of your choice and I will send mine and if I am wealthy you can make a big donation to this forum. As I noted I am the ranking member of the oldest millionaire family west of the allegheny mountains meaning my family has been wealthy for a couple centuries now

    sociali darwinism----I love lefties, they love darwin when its used to bash the bible thumpers but they hate it when applied to humans

    If you are rich you either think you will get richer by pushing socialist BS or you are a trustafarian

    we sure wouldn't have the disgusting malignancy of government we have now if that were the case

    I like the idea of an additional vote for every 100 more dollars in federal taxes one pays

    Damn proud of it to, as it reduces our welfare roles and helps provide a dignified retirement for our working class. Social Security is the most successful federal program we have. It has a $2.6 trillion dollar surplus. Romney pays a lower total tax rate than those who make 470 times less than he does.



    THE RICH ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO PAY THE ESTATE TAX meaning the middle class benefit from a tax THEY CONTRIBUTE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO so your moronic claim that the middle class don't benefit from estate cut taxes is pathetic class hate based idiocy.

    They are the only ones that pay it because they are the only ones rich enough to pay it. Lower Estate taxes mean the rich are not paying for their upkeep cost to the working class.

    You keep forgetting the rich only got temporary tax cuts because the working class agreed to them on the promise of US jobs. Since that promise was unfulfilled, there is no longer any reason for the working class to continue voting for tax cuts for the rich.

    I've read about the Master/Slave stipulations of the past, and was not impressed with how that worked out for the slaves.

    But I guess a man has got to have a dream, so dream away!

    there should be no estate tax and you whining that the rich aren't paying enough when the rest of the country pays none. At your ranting about how the working class allows this or that is funny

    GOD HELP YOU if the rich ever unite
