Liberals suddenly discover they don't like high taxes

[Quantum Windbag]

If only someone had explained this to them before.

Wait, we did.

They’re ready to jump off a real cliff.
New Yorkers of all income levels got a rude awakening yesterday when they saw in The Post how much more they will pay in taxes next year without a fiscal-cliff deal by Jan. 1.
“It’s that much higher?” asked IT worker Vikas Kataria, 34, who discovered that his combined household income of about $250,000 per year will cost him nearly $10,000 more in taxes.
“I thought it was a couple thousand — but that’s a lot,” said Kataria, who works at Merrill Lynch in Manhattan and is married to a systems analyst for a brokerage firm. “That’s huge!”

With higher taxes, the couple would have to cut out on traveling and family vacations.
Clothing designer Peter Opie, of Canary Wharf Clothier, made about $2 million this year — and would see his tax bill spike by a staggering $100,000.
“The system is nuts here — it’s madness personified!” he said
“We were impacted massively by the hurricane — and now there is this,” said Opie. “You work your butt off and you end up with next to nothing.”

So you will demand the other half (50%ish) that pays no federal now start? Cuz that would be quite a change!

These people who voted for obamanation are capricious - as soon as they are affected negatively, they will turn on him like a greek in greece on crack. They don't give a shit what extortionate rates others have to pay - fuck them!

 

[Avorysuds]

I do love how much Progressives argue we need higher taxes!!!!!! Yet in reality they demand lower taxes for 99% of people.....

 

[Duped]

Yea, fair share is a subjective term; it's what's fair to them - it's so liberal. They want to carry a bunch of scum bags. What is fair is that everyone pays!

Too bad it's cause republicans refused several times to a real compromise.

Only morons like paying taxes. Patriots understand that sending more money to Washington doesn't help the country. It only helps a lot of ticks on the ass of society.

The public has been subsidizing and bailing out the private sector since day one. This is why corporations spend trillions lobbying Washington and funding elections.

Turn off talk radio and study how the wealthy use the government they buy.

I agree.

And some of those ticks are multimillionaires and billionaires.
