The Obama admin, the economy can absorb a tax increase on the wealthy...

[mriddick]

Considering how weak the economy is they are betting alot on this ideology. Raising taxes (any taxes) in a recession is not something I've ever heard a economist say was a smart thing to do (not that smart and this admin go together).

Like the saying goes, the problem with socialism is sooner or later you run out of other peoples' money. That is the only "ideology" the messiah is interested in.

[Batwing]

0bama wants you all to understand that you are wealthy so he will tax you according no matter what you earn.

[El Jefe]

They've been sneaking in all kinds of taxes and fees. Barry is going to wonder why the polls keep heading south, but all he has to do is look in the mirror and at his own policies.

Yeah, and that threshold number that defines who is considered wealthy keeps getting smaller. Before long anyone making over minimum wage will be considered rich and worthy of more tax.

What did Bill Murray say in Stripes "dat's a fact Jefferson"? Nah, he said Jack.. :D

The recipe for socialism is first you spend like there is no tomorrow; then, you tax everything in sight and raise regulatory fees to pay for it.

If anyone needs a peek into the crystal ball of our future all they need to do is look into what taxes and fees are in socialist nations. So far 0bama and the democrats haven't raised our taxes; however, they have raised taxes and fees on everything we use or will be soon..

Same as an overwhelming majority of Americans we pay your debts. No matter who gets elected next November we owe a lot of money to others. At the end of the day, the reality is the only free cheese is in a mouse trap and we are in 0bama's mouse trap.

May the sobs burn in hell for what they did and are doing to us and our children.

I'm just waiting on the VAT tax to rear it's ugly head. This November is everything!

IMO, a VAT will be the tip of Obama's iceburg.


This November is everything!

Yes it is; unfortunately it will be both our first and pretty much our only opportunity to stop the 0bama-pelois-reid express train from converting this nation to a third world shyte hole.

I'm amazed they are willing to bet to economy to push their anti wealth agenda, at some point I'd think the desire to stay in office would kick in but he's running the gov't like he's getting all he can in one term...

One has to wonder if the tide rising against them seems real to them. I don't know if they're in blind denial or just so arrogant they think the bad poll numbers will pass before the election. Of course I'm sure they have a few tricks and surprises up their sleeve to throw out yet too.

There going to pull out all the stops! Allow felons and illegals to vote, while disallowing military votes. Acorn will be hard at word, and so will Hollywood and the "news media." They're going to fight, scratch and bite for every advantage. Their motto will be "just win baby!"

Now, what are we willing to do?

Obama is not a bad president because he's black, he's a bad president because he's unqualified for the job and got elected because he's black.

Sounds fair. But, he's a race hustler because he's half black.

Right after Obongo got into office my cousin got on unemployment and has been on it for 2 years and just got 99 weeks added to that plus he now qualifies for free schooling he starts Monday and expects to ride the whole time out on unemployment for a whopping 4 years.
He said he feels they are treating him like a black person and he likes it!!!!!

[imanaknut]

obama-messiah wants to tax the so-called rich, but I find it strange that in all the years I have been employed, I never worked for a poor person. The owner of the companies that paid my wages were all "rich".

And I thank them all, and feel sad that their hard work is going to be taxed an extra amount to pay for those too lazy to work. (note, I am not calling those who can't work, or are unemployed due to no fault of their own as being lazy. Only those who don't want to work because the government will take care of them)

[Kadmos]

Well, during the great depression they raised the tax rate up to 99%..and we did eventually come out of that one.

Maybe that's the plan..jack it up to near 100% of any income over the poverty level, start up some little "Obamavilles" just like the old Hoovervilles ....then after a new-newdeal and another world war we will be back in business!

Good times!

Ask anyone whose ex ran up the credit cards; they were responsible for the debt. 0bama is running up a huge tab and no matter who gets elected we will be stuck with the results of 0bama-nomics.

Nope, their egotistic rodent brains are and were filled with we own both Houses of Congress and the White House; so, we can do whatever we want because we are in power and they did. Some of them have been in an elected job so long they believe they are nobility or the ruling class and they sure as hell ain't either one of the two.

Limbaugh exposed the trick; somehow 0bama reserved over 40% of the stimulus money for discretionary spending; his discretionary spending. So before the elections he'll throw hundreds of billions around to show the recession is over. 0bama is saying recovery is here and the libtard media is chanting it.

Add in state income and sales tax, property tax, etc. some people atually got to 99% during the depression

It seems to me the goverments "tax and spending strategy" essentially consists of who they are most willing to piss off. Both parties will cater to the poor, attempt to placate the middle class while trying to stick it in the rear unnoticed (good luck!) and outright fuck the rich, while catering to the rich, who pass it on to the middle class either way.

The odd thing is no matter what they seem to do, its that same 19-20% of the GDP that ends up collected, which in the end comes from all of us one way or another.
