Liberal Democrats: Higher rates for wealthy 'just the beginning'

Stupid people think progressive taxation=communism.

Stupid people think that by taxing the rich, it will sustain our governments out of control spending. Our nation is the world leader in producing stupid people, they vote for slogans, hype and free handouts, and when they sign up to post in political forums, they put up posts like yours.

Soooo, do you think Progressive taxation equals communism or are you just wanking off another load of America hatred? You could have at least took a shot at saying how it is communism since you felt compelled to reply to my comment.

Real Communists have abandoned you wannabes because you're that fucking ignorant
 
I'm sure there's not more than a handful of wealthy people on this board. I wonder why the rest are so interested in the welfare of the rich.

Don't anger the temporarily embarrassed millionaires, they might not create jobs when the world finally recognizes their brilliance. Seriously, I am willing to bet that everyone here is a lot closer to the bottom than the top and really should be more concerned with a disappearing safety net than a tax hike on the Chinese job creators because that slippery slope to rock bottom is getting steeper and greasier all the time.


LMAO. A few of them must get paid by the post. Cause no one would pay them for content. Wannabe right wing "journalists".

Just a few pennys short of their first million.

Disagreeing with socialism is not hating America.

Dumbass.
 
If the rich made a lot of money under Clinton, why are they so scared to return to those rates?

Oh.............wait........................forgot......................they put a puppet named Jr. in office who cut taxes for them, resulting in greater wealth, and welfare for the corporations and the rich is now a way of life that can't be changed.

/sarcasm
I don't think anyone would mind returning to the Clinton-era tax rates if we also returned to the Clinton-era levels of spending, size of government, and amount of regulation.

It's the last three that made that time a success -- not the first.

No, it is not communism. It is Marxism, in 1848, Karl Marx and Freidrich Engels proposed a heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

As for the the America hatred, please, it was the wife of your sides president who said America is a downright mean nation, and your president who has hated on this country.

I'll take your word for it that Marx suggested it but it is still not Marxism, it's the norm in pretty much the entire civilized world, the countries that don't have it are usually dictatorial shitholes with REGRESSIVE taxation. If that is opposite of Marxism it certainly does not automatically insure either freedom or prosperity.


Professors at the University of Chicago law school, Blum and Kalven examined and found very little support for progressive taxation as “the possible rationale for desiring to lessen economic inequalities within the confines of a private enterprise and market system,” and found, on the contrary, that since there have been enormous increases in wealth, even among the poorest, and yet the issue of inequality has become more outspoken, “It initially appears that what is involved is envy, the dissatisfaction produced in men not by what they lack but by what others have.”
Blum and Klaven, jr., “The Uneasy Case for Progressive Taxation.”

....and where does the intelligence lie in the notion that further taxing high annual income earners is a higher priority and more effecting than cutting spending and lowering the debt ceiling? Use math or economics to refute and not name calling.

You act like tax hikes are all that will end up getting done, there will be cuts but we are not prepared to attempt to balance the budget solely by increasing the misery index of the poor, if deficit reduction is that important then cut everything and raise everything, if that approach is too painful then find something else to harp about all the time, if you have a single sacred cow in this debate then you are less committed than democrats to deficit reduction.

Obama and the Dims have made it perfectly clear they have no intention of ever cutting anything. Their aim is to permanently increase the portion of our GDP that the federal government sucks up.

The plan that Timothy Geithner put on the table at the WH meeting the other day had 1.6 trillion in tax hikes and more stimulus spending. No spending cuts. At all.
