Obama to propose $1.5 trillion in new tax revenue

Kiddo, he said he would LOOK AT the capital gains tax to see if it was appropriate. He even went on to talk about the sorts of situations in which it would be- because it would raise revenue... You posted the video. It's right there... I dunno man. It just seems patently obvious that soooo many of the things you say even you know are completely false... Are you just here to spread propaganda, so you don't care if it is true or what? The video is RIGHT THERE. Everybody can see that you're lying...

you deny that your master obumble thinks pandering to the "poor" is more important than efficient revenue collection?
 
He did say he would raise capital gains "out of fairness" because he saw an article that day about 50 hedge fund managers who made a lot of money! This guy is so smart he can devise tax policies instantly from newspaper articles someone reads to him

Kiddo, he clearly said he would look at it, not that he'd raise them out of fairness.... That kind of misrepresentation might fly on the Glenn Beck show or at your tea parties or whatever, but not among normal people.

Defending Bush's tax policy, by default, is brain searingly stupid. It didn't create jobs, it blew the budget all to hell, it contributed to the housing bubble, and it spiked the rich/poor divide. If I had supported those moronic policies I wouldn't even say the word tax. In fact, don't even say ta. Or ax. Or even a.

It meant people like me who were overtaxed got to keep more of our money rather than allowing dem scumbags to use it to buy the votes of their supporters

Maybe this is a helpful way for you to look at posting. Read your post before you hit submit. If all your post communicates is a declaration that you are a teabagger, there is no point in posting it. We already know that. If it communicates an idea or thought beyond just declaring your side, then do post it. Is that helpful?
 
at least he doesn't pander to the whiny wealthy, like Bonehead and Can'tor.

the whiney wealthy are people like buffett

the real whiners are those who piss and moan about the rich and want government to take more from the rich so the losers feel better about their failure in life

Poor baby! Were you living out of your car during the Clinton years? Did that extra 3.5% put you on the street? :2rofll:

You really aren't good enough a poster to be lecturing anyone on how to post. Nothing is more funny than a hack pretending they aren't a hack

How self referential.

That envy thing is working for you again? You don't seem to understand that Obama wants people like me to pay far far more than that

like doubling capital gains rates or jacking dividends (which already suffer a 35% cut at the corporate level) going up to 40% from 15%

Buffett isn't whining about having his tax-rate increased by 3%. (God forbid!!)

Why? Because as a patriotic American who is filthy rich, he knows that he can totally afford to pay more in taxes and it won't affect his spending habits one bit.

Whatever. Just give it a try for one day. What's to lose?

how projective. tell me Adam, why are you so upset with the wealthy? is it a lack of success or what? or is it the common trait on this board of thinking you are smart enough and talented enough to be rich but because you are not you want to bash those who have the wealth you think you should be entitled to?

Turtle, I believe everyone here who follows the discussion is well aware that you are upset that a possible tax increase for you is in the offing if the President is successful in his proposals. However, your own desire for your own money is not a viable argument for the structure of a fair tax policy for the entire nation.

Do you have any rational arguments why the proposals of President Obama would be bad for the entire nation - as opposed to a personal inconvenience for yourself? I think that would be a topic that everyone can participate in and we can all then steer clear of personal attacks and remarks about the individual.

Why do you assume I'm not rich? Because I'm not greedy? As you might have learned from Buffett and the other wealthy people arguing for higher top rates, being rich and greedy don't necessarily go hand in hand. You just happen to be in the greedy hand.

we all understand that you work for a democrat politician and before that a democrat organ known as a teachers' union and you want policies that allow the dem party more power.

you think more union power, more income redistribution and more welfare socialism is better for the USA when its better for you

your policies make this country weak, causes increased dependency and sloth and bloated government

you buy into Buffett's nonsense being altruistic?
 
I haven't heard an alternative motive that passes the laugh test.

that is probably due to your hearing rather than a lack of answers

Buffett is a dem. he thinks helping obama's tax schemes helps the dems. the uber rich often prefer a big centralized government that concentrates wealth in the hands of the government. It creates a financial environment that benefits the uber wealthy
