Deficits are only created when you spend what you don't have. The 'Buffet Rule' Obama pushes is weak demagoguery which does nothing to close deficits.
Only way to close deficits is to stop spending what we don't have.
Prepare to give up some of your freebies and get a job.
Running on empty? Perhaps you ought to try and keep up.
Fairness is not demagoguery. The majority of Americans don't have the luxury of setting up off-shore accounts, and understand that those with the most discretionary income ought not be paying lower taxes than the rest of us.
What the hell is this FAIRNESS crap?? Who says anyone has to be FAIR?
You get where you are in life with hard work and get up and go.
We all know that some of the rich in this country inheritied their wealth but I think there are many more who EARNED their wealth.
Why should they pay more because they had the smarts, determination and drive to make money??
You want social justice then move to Cuba or Venzuela. You can all share the same tarpaper shack and thank Daddy Fidel and Uncle Hugo for everything you get.
Just think. You can all be social equals and live in that wonderful utopia. You won't have to bust your ass because you'll get the same as the guy that doesn't.
Even in those countries you have the elite rich. It's just that the middle class will never be able to attain wealth. That is what this country is striving for?
