They could tax us all at 100 percent and they wouldn't have enough for their pitiful endeavors.

raising tax rate is meaningless until you close the loopholes.
But....but.....it is the wealthy who give us ......Jobs
If we raise their taxes they will get mad and fire us all
Just because they are mad? Brilliant. Do you realize:
1) Hmm...we take money out of businesses, and the businesses have to let people go. I don't get it, it must be because the owners were mad. That's all you can come up with?
2) Companies invest in project that create value. Now think about this, if you raise taxes, then projects that were profitable before the taxes were raised are no longer profitable enough to invest in. The owners then stop the project. Now, the tricky part. A test. What happens to the workers who worked on the project?
This whole trickle down thing worked fine when tax rates were extremely high. Now that they are extremely low, it ain't working no more, and there is no more room to cut taxes. So we have a flippin mess, but what many of you want to do is take even more money out of the hands of the consumers and put it in the hands of the wealthy so they can continue to hoard it.
Broke my rule about posting on "polling" threads for this..
I'm soooo f'in tired of the "one note solution" to fixing everything being to "tax the rich". Here's what I want to do..
Rescind ALL the Bush Tax Cuts NOW!! That will have the same effect of really bad chemotherapy for the economy. Probably cause a major disruption. BUT ---
Then the leftists will have NOTHING LEFT TO CONTRIBUTE.. No ideas, No solutions, just dumbfounded stares.. No idea of how education, jobs, taxes, technology, regulation, and risk are inter-related. It would be worth it just to take pictures..
The majority of Americans opposed Obamacare, think we should check ID at polls and stop illegal immigration. DO you think we should follow all polls or just the ones that give the answer you wanted?
Actually in a free country all men are equal. You will never achieve equality through the active pursuit of inequality.

Lefty-Buds::
If you're pissed about "trust fund babies" --- income tax brackets won't do the trick -- you need to fiddle with cap gains.
If you're pissed about "family dynasties" --- income tax brackets won't do the trick -- you need to fiddle with the death tax.
WHY you're pissed ---- escapes me. And it escapes the MILLIONS of dirt poor people who are also defending "the rich" for reasons you'll never apparently understand. In terms of ADDITIONAL collateral damage you''re talking about folks like the offensive line of the Cleveland Browns. Are they STEALING from you? Even if they suck at their $$mill jobs. What did the 1000 lottery jackpot winners last year do to deserve the sacking? Explain the fairness issue to me using Venus and Serena Williams.
I know we're getting jaded about collateral damage what with predator drones and all, but I'm wondering how much tolerance the left has for dinging FIRST GENERATION wealth bystanders like 30% of the Forbes 100 richest are.
A writer could be "the rich" (according to class warrior standards) ONE YEAR and be a chump the next.
So could a building contractor. Of course, they get to income average and carry-over losses and stuff.
So they wouldn't get punished by the raging mobs..
But how can something that fleeting be SOOOO irrating to the class warriors?
And I've got a different face for "the rich" than my lefty-buds.. How about Oprah? Does SHE piss you off? Want to lump HER with your silly robber-baron rhetoric? Honest HARD CORE class warriors will. Let's separate the warriors from the whiners..
Since the premise of this entire thread is that " the people" want it, according to Truthmatters, via a poll, should we also do what "the people" want via other polls? Like eliminate the right to an abortion? Voter ID required? Get rid of Obama care? End all the wars? Including Libya? Get rid of the EPA? Stop kowtowing to the warmists? ANd a host6 of other things?
Last I checked we do no't run our Country by what the polls say but rather elect Representatives based on Population that make the big decisions.
Isn't it telling that the Liberals want to just cite the polls they like when they want something?
Well the polls showed that 70% of the voters didn't want obiedickcare too so wadda ya gonna do?
Billionaires are not my fellow Americans.
My fellow Americans are police, teachers, truck drivers, bank tellers, secretaries, nurses, and so on.
So now rich people aren't Americans. Why so bitter? Are you poor?
I'm poor like you're rich.
I'm for the poor and the middle class because the country is built on the backs of the poor and the middle class.
You are for rich people who would spit on you if you got in their way.
Reagan lowered taxes.
These polls aren't helping Republicans win any arguments, are they?
The bills Reagan passed didn't raise more revenue by hiking individual income tax rates though. Instead they did it largely through making it tougher to evade taxes, and through reducing various federal tax breaks and closing tax loopholes.

Maybe its just me, but I know several very wealthy people locally. They ALL give a tremenous amount to charity. Is it really any wonder that many of the have-nots would lust after money? Bottom line, if you received the money legally, its yours and not mine. Otherwise its stealing and not justified by any well intentioned efforts to legally take it from someone.

Expecting people to contribute to the society that enabled them to gain wealth is not stealing
