[daveman]

Sounds like a "bill of attainder" to me. Look it up.

 

[AmyNation]

Democrats
Moderates
Independents

No more than any progressive tax, SCOTUS says you can be taxed for what you do or don't do. Maobama supporters want higher taxes, hell let's grant their wish.

With Obamacare not in danger of being repealed, maybe you can get your Chronic Stick Up The Ass taken care of.

Perhaps, but there is no cure for your tragic case of microcephaly.

The GOP had their arses handed to them and what have they learned....NOTHING They won't be happy until they lose the House also. Yes, please dig in your heels and defend the wealthy. That would be just Peachy!

Pssst! I'm not the one treating an obviously humorous image as a serious proposal here, Skippy.

Cool, as soon as you all pay off that 12 Trillion dollars in debt you all rung up, we'll start paying for our share.

Leftists truly have no sense of humor.

Maybe there should be a telethon...

Word on the street is your "fair share" is zero.

How is taxing the rich not a bill of attainder then?

Never can tell when you people are serious, see "Poe's law".

 

[tyroneweaver]

How is taxing the rich not a bill of attainder then?

For the same reason that giving them a tax cut isn't.

Really?

A bill of attainder (also known as an act of attainder or writ of attainder) is an act of a legislature declaring a person or group of persons guilty of some crime and punishing them without privilege of a judicial trial.​

The rich are guilty of being wealthy.

OWS and similar stinky stupid slobs have assured us repeatedly that being wealthy is a crime. And Obama said this election was about "revenge".

Are you serious this time or just joking? Never can tell with the likes of you.

That looks a lot like a deflection from where I'm sitting. Why is arbitrarily raising taxes on Democrats different in principle from arbitrarily raising them on people who are wealthy?

Because it is far from arbitrary, we as a nation extended them numerous tax cuts as an incentive to grow the economy and it apparently did not work, so now we must take them back and find some other use for the money. Nothing personal, nothing punitive, just a failed policy that must now be reversed. On the other hand a law that only applies to people of a certain ideology has always been unconstitutional.
