Obama says the rich needs to pay more

[Listening]

Given that billionaires and most millionaires pay less taxes then middle class Americans anyone who doesn't think they should pay more is a dumbass

Anyone who makes these kinds of statements is their leader.

 

[Political Junky]

Republicans must be eager to cut our massive expenditures on the military.

Who'd ever imagine that when you don't have enough money, you need more income?

Americans are on a budget, why isn't our government?

Here's why:

[Cowman]

If just one member of the 1% put the money saved from a lower tax rate into growing his business, he would create more jobs them then our pres has with our tax dollars.

He gives solindra half a billion and they go belly up. How many jobs do you think the Walmart family would create if you put an extra couple % in their hands? ... I'll give you a hint, it would be measured in the thousands

You really think so huh? If they wanted to create more jobs they would. They keep working to reduce the number of employees they have. And it's not because they're losing money.

 

[Trajan]

Issa is one of the most dishonest politicians I've ever seen.

Fox constantly edits video and has to publicly apologize over and over again.

Then there were all the edited, lying ACORN videos.

Then they show these young people break dancing and throwing fake money and call it an $800,000.00 party for the Democrats.

But still, Darrell Issa? Dirty Darrell?

Arrested on weapons charges, auto theft, suspicion of arson? THAT Darrell? The guy accused of intimidation with a gun? Republicans sure know how to pick 'em.

tissue?

 

[Trajan]

the buffett ( and anyone who buys that crap needs their head seriously examined) will hit about 400 people.......wowee! our problems are solved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[naturegirl]

Why the heck should anyone pay more for Obamavider to spend it on vacations, parties and whatever else he feels is appropriate.

Get a clue Dems, he's spending it faster than the few that are working can pay.

It's called better business ... Automated checkout may make a checker loose her job, but it gets more people in and out, saving and making more profit. More profit means expanding corporation means more total employees.

The Walmart family didn't get rich by stockpiling their money. Gates didn't get rich by stuffing a mattress, Jobs didn't make a fortune by hiding his money overseas .... They invest their money in the companies and grow them.

The larger the company grows, the more they employ ... And yes, the richer the 1% get .... If that's a crime, then so be it ... They support a lot of peoples jobs with their so called greed

So what good does taxing the rich more do if you continue to spend more than you bring in?

 

[Listening]

They should pay more. Our country has been made great in part by their tax contributions.

Is it their tax contributions in particular or just taxes in general.

If so, then I think it is time the bottom 50% be given the honor of helping to make this country greater.
