I think he's ramping up class warfare--exactly how is that going to provide any stability ? Night Robby, it was great having ya !
Ramping up class warfare?
Every taxation decision is a class issue, Dill.
Did you think that reducing taxes on the superwealthy for the last 8 years was class warfare against the working class?
It was, if you think of tax policies as such because most tax policies effect different classes differently.
Here is what Obama is saying now: "A few families are fabulously wealthy, contribute far less than they should in taxes, and are indifferent to the poverty of the great masses of the people." "A country in this situation," he went on, "is fraught with continual instability."
This will be my last thread on here but I saw this and felt I had to post it.
What does everyone think? Is he right?
taxes on everyone will have to go up along with major cuts in spending.
We can't keep selling our soul to China and Saudi Arabia and Japan and the UAE -United arab emirates....thru the financing of Debt.
We already had sold our soul to middle eastern oil/natural gas....and LOOK where that has gotten us with wars, 9/11 etc....
Our Sovereignty is at RISK! Our Foreign policy decisions will be made based on who we owe money to instead of what is right for us!
I think the first one is a national security threat that we just are not thinking about...

How in the fuck do you ban poverty?
You make it illegal to be homeless, you make it illegal to be very poor. You setup a massive government assistance program designed to help the people who are very poor. You get them off the street and into assistance programs. They're also probably suffering from depression.. so you strip them of their civil rights for 90 days and pump them full of anti-depressants.
You want to eliminate poverty, that's the only way to do it. Otherwise, you're always going to have poverty.

nu uh baby, taxes are going down on 95% of us and don't you forget it.
they may go down temporarily to stimulate the economy, but if this does not bring in enough revenues with this stimulus, taxes on everyone will have to go up, and spending will have to be CUT.
probably....unless his plan works and he proves me wrong.oh noes oh noes are you saying that brockguy lied to the american people?

decreasing should, i noted such....but if the newly generated revenues because of a good economy, after the spending cuts are not enough and we continue to borrow TRILLIONS as we did under pres bush from china etc with the debt payback of the SS surplus at our doorstep, we need ti be considering it if and when we are in good solid times, for our own security imo.Increasing taxes will not stimulate the economy.

It's funny that you were one of his biggest supporters, but immediately after elections you admit that he lied. Good job!
Yes, the marginal income tax rate was 70% during the Carter and Nixon years, down from the 91% rate of the Eisenhower years.
It was around 50% during the Reagan years.
It wasn't until fairly recently that the rate dropped into the high 20's to 30's.

I think many people, at this point in time, would love to see a flat tax rate.
fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me

He's wrong, of course. Who is he to say how much the wealthy should contribute in taxes? He definitely sounds like an elitist and authoritarian. He's certainly not a friend of liberty.
