Take it all.
It won’t make a dent in the mess we have now.
Thankfully, it’s Bush’s fault…

If this generation of rich can’t survive a petty tax cut, they lose the right to be called rich anyway and someone more resourceful will quickly fill that void.

It’s not that they can’t survive. They will. It’s the steps they take as businessmen to survive. If costs increase on a business, expenses have to be cut. The biggest expense for just about any company is payroll.

The megarich got megarich by stealing from the middle class, the poor and the government. Taking the money back is justice.

Who extended the Bush Tax Cuts in late December 2010? The Democrat Controlled House and Senate and Obama failed to do the right thing and stand up to the Democrats and Veto this stupid bill, had he done so, the Rich would be paying the IRS Rate they paid in the 1990’s.
Ask Obama why he extended the Bush Tax Cuts in December 2010.

Let’s see. The top 1% has ten times the wealth it had thirty years ago, while the bottom 50% is poorer. Let’s make sure that the budget is balanced ENTIRELY by cutting programs for the poor, and let’s give more money to the top. Ever wonder why you’re losing the argument? By the way, Obama doesn’t hate the rich (he’s one of them, his books sell well). He just doesn’t see why they should be the ONLY demographic who are off-limits.

How would you like to pay 95% of your income in IRS Taxes?

Obama lives high on the Taxpayers’ Expense….a news item quoted by Rush this week said that the UK taxpayers pay for Her Royal Highness living expenses at $58 million a year.
But US taxpayers foot the bills at $1.4 Billion a year for Obama.
Emperor Obama. Everybody else making over $250,000 annually is “rich” and must be taxed to the Nth Degree according to Scrooge Obama…..who leads the enthusiastic democratic smear of “it’s all Bush’s fault”…..
(IMO it is the voters who drink the Jim Jones Koolaid and vote for Obama the Marxist)

Actually it started under Reagan and continued through every president of both parties. Return it to 70% we will all do better including the various levels of rich.

The Democrats had control of the Congress for two months only.

@Tigger
If you are worth billions it wouldn’t stop you from living well. But who is demanding 95%, I just demand at least 70%-91%.

Preach it my brother!
.
When will the underlings understand that what the “rich” are the most afraid of is “Free Market Capitalism”
.
They want the ability to shut down any competition. They want to not have to surrender half of their wealth at death, because then that makes their empire vulnerable to someone who hasn’t died yet!
.
The threat that the rich will just move if they are forced to pay taxes ignore the fact that if they move, the next guy will move right into their place and the flow of money that made the rich rich will be shut off!
.
You are right on there, Chillbilly!
