No Fiscal Deal Without Higher Tax Rates On Rich, Obama Says

A guy from Texas? Your bigotry is noted.

Yes, it is a stretch, because 625,000 still isn't a million. :rofl


One is income; the other is wealth. I noted that I "assumed" that most people making $625,000 per year are millionaires.

As to my Texas bigotry; thanks for noticing.... its an affliction that affects many Coloradoans... (it is tongue-in-cheek)

No, why do you just make up **** and it attribute it to me?

I asked you a question based on your earlier post. There is no need to whine.
We are only talking about 4% higher, just where they were in the 1990s. I was around then, and you know what? There was no exodus of the rich from this country in the 1990s!

Perhaps that's because government spending was under more control. Raise ALL taxes to Clinton levels, and the spending as well, and people will be a lot happier.

Yes, military spending was less than half of what it is, and we did not wage an unnecessary almost decade long war. We can no longer afford to spend as much on the military as the rest of the world combined.

If we are ever to address our debt, military spending will have to be cut.

but military spending does not create a self generating class of dependents as does buying votes with welfare
 
Because the President, like most of the rest of us, is smart enough to know that we have to reduce the deficit without cutting back on repayment of the funding we borrowed from SS. One of the best, and most fair ways to do that is to let the 4% tax cut for the wealthy expire. As determined by the CBO and our experience in the 90's show us, this will have little effect on the economy. Letting the tax cuts for the middle class expire on the other hand, is expected to throw us into another recession.

This is not a hard concept for most people.

Obunny's plan is only a scheme to tax the rich more so he can spend more on buying the votes of the dependent. He has no interest in cutting the deficit or government.

And to claim that the rest of the country cannot pay more is a joke-its all about losing votes

I may need help translating your post, but it seems you are saying that the President is fulfilling his promise to protect SS recipients by letting the tax cuts for the wealthy expire because there is no benefit to letting them continue. With that I would agree.
 
And I don't whine about taxes or the media. You'd be hard pressed to match me.


Great, once you stop worrying about other people being wealthier you will be set!!:mrgreen:

here I will put it in rational language rather than Obamagasmic BS

Obama understands that the number of voters who envy the rich outnumber the rich who have no use for Obama's schemes to spend this country into bankruptcy
 
You're mistaken, again. I have no such worry.

I suspect you will claim you don't worry about people carrying concealed handguns either:mrgreen:

This is what you don't get. Its not about envy, its about an economy that cannot proper when too much wealth is concentrated at the top. James Carville's observation held true in the presidential election, "Its the economy, stupid."

if it was the economy the smart guy would have won. the only economics that motivated the Obunny voters was MORE MORE MORE FROM THE GOVERNMENT

your tax schemes concentrate wealth in the hands of those who are rich because of the government. Making the middle class more dependent hardly is going to spread the wealth

and of course that is the goal of your welfare socialist masters-to make more and more people beholden to voting Democrat

I only hope you can keep up this tripe through the 2014 election. :cool:

I AM SURE the legions of the butt hurt failures who constantly whine about the wealthy will not shut up so I will have plenty of ammunition
