   The rich want it all, and if they don’t want it, they don’t want anyone to have it either.

   I wish I knew who was the horrible, despicable SOB at the WSJ who even came up with this vile concept.

   Of course, we still have cretins like Bolland and other Fox liars trumpeting the deceptive meme about the 40 some percent who pay income tax, completely ignoring that most of the rest are either retirees on SS or so wretchedly poor they don’t pay.

   I’d like one of these rotten, soul-less robber barons to try and get by for just 3 months on a ‘lucky ducky’s’ salary.

   I remember professional harpy Anne Coulter referring to the poor as “animals”. Was she thinking of Lucky Ducky perhaps? I also remember Faux News attacking the luxuries of the poor like microwave ovens and saying that they rather than the wealthy should pay more taxes. Aneurin Bevan’s comment about the UK Conservative Party comes to mind for this lot, and with more justification than he had.

   The 47%-51% don’t pay payroll taxes because they don’t have payrolls. The rest of the taxes count unless they are too poor and so no Federal taxes are taken out. Too poor to tax. Lucky for me.

   The Nazis and Ayn Rand had the same idea only the National Socialists had the power to arrest and kill. These days that is too costly. Easier just to eventually take way what Lucky got so he could die that much sooner.

   Well, there’s no question that the tax cuts eventually need to end, but all the talk of taxing wealth means that they want to tax your investments. The problem with this is that a zillion people in the US are depending on using their 401K for retirement income. Investment growth has been practically static for the last ten years thanks to Congress giving our futures away to the banking and finance industry, and now the solution to our economic woes is to increase the tax on wealth – which includes everyone’s 401K. So I guess all the 401K folks are just going to have to work until they die.

   and the guy that wants to be VP LOVES Rand and her thinking. (although lately, he denies it)
   Even if he doesn’t make VP this year, he will undoubtedly be in the number one slot in 2016.
   and the ironic thing is THEY are the ones calling the prez a nazi because he wanted to reform health care.
   unbelievable, just unbelievable.

    The small investor owns maybe 10% of the stock market while the top 1% own 60%. And why is money made by investing taxed less than money made from the sweat of one’s labor? Who wrote the tax code for whom?

    The best way to convey the message. Laugh while taking it in. Easier to remember.
