    Before the trolls arrive: let’s have the wealthy pay a fair tax, instead of less than everyone else.
    And no, that does not kill the economy. Nor does giving the wealthy a tax cut spur the economy. That is proven quite obviously by every tax cut from the Reagan era on.

    will raising the taxes on the evil rich get the elephant off the limb? Most of the Donkey States have already fallen off and look what it has gotten them. Florida and Texas are still writing thank you notes to NY and ILL. and California for raising taxes on a select few rich.
    Check out Britain who raised taxes just on the rich. Over half just packed up and left!

    Since the raise in incomes in the past 30 years mostly went to the top 2%, with wages on lower earnings stagnant or regressing after health expenditures, it’s clear that top incomes should keep the huge tax cuts from the Bush wonder years, and the deficit should be balanced entirely on the backs of the poor.

    Lets do this, U.S.-style:

    1) BREATH IN!!!!
    2) BREATH OUT!!!
    3) SAY YOU WANT TO SAVE THE REPUBLIC!!
    4) DO’ IT!
    5) DIE…

    Easy, ain’t it?

    Absolutely. I think most of the posters here agree with ARodney. I certainly do!

    Raising taxes on the rich won’t do diddly for the economy. It just makes some people happier because Obama implies that if the rich pay more in taxes it will somehow, magically make your life better. It won’t do that either..

    I love the fact a 4% increase will kill off all the rich, all investment, and shut down all businesses in the U.S.. Of course defense spending under Boehner goes up another $2 TRILLION, but Santa will bring him the cash to give to GE, Lockheed Martin, and the other contractors, whooppee doo!

    To make the gov’t bigger and give more entitlments to those that won’t work because it’s been shown that entitlement benefits are bigger now than having to go WORK for it the old fashion way? No thank you! $168 a day for sitting on your BUTT, whereas the median income person that WORKS makes $137 a day. Buncha leeches…

    @motivemagus

    Why didn’t Obama do this in late December 2010 by vetoing the Bill passed by the then Democrat Controlled Congress and Senate extending the Bush Era Tax Cuts?

    @ARodney

    Why did you vote or Obama after he extended the Bush Huge Tax Cuts by his failure to stand up to his own Party and Veto Passed by the Democrat Controlled House and Senate in late December 2010?

    @Mr. King

    Not only do you talk to yourself, but you call yourself the wrong name. You are a new breed of crazy and I fear for the future.

    Hey, ANDERSON: The voters left Republicans in charge of the finances. Or are those election results YOU don’t like?
